Type of review

Ethereum can be seen as a blue chip stock of the crypto world. It is as safe a bet as you can make in such a volatile market. It saw exponential growth in 2017 and if the Ethereum team can deliver on their proposals, it is possible that we may soon see Ethereum at the top of the crypto market cap.

Pros
  • Ethereum is the second most popular and widely recognized cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. Unlike Bitcoin, it is a platform for the development of decentralized applications rather than just being a transactional currency. Ethereum is currently the backbone of the crypto world because hundreds of cryptocurrencies are ERC20 tokens built upon the Ethereum blockchain. Because of this, Ethereum is one of the safest bets in crypto as a vast majority of projects rely on it. Founded by Vitalik Buterin, it has arguably one of the strongest development teams in crypto. Beyond that, it also has widescale adoption that rivals Bitcoin. Anywhere you can purchase bitcoin or find bitcoin and altcoin pairings, it is likely you'll also find ethereum as well. In the next two years Ethereum is planning to implement a couple of upgrades that will allow Ethereum to scale and compete with third generation cryptocurrencies. Raiden is a project that is analogous to Bitcoin's Lightning Network and will aim to provide near instant and low fee transactions on the Ethereum Blockchain. Casper on the other hand will slowly introduce the transition of proof of stake, preparing the network for sustainability.
Cons
  • At its current state, Ethereum is beginning to face scalability and network congestion issues. Being one of the most widely used blockchain networks, Ethereum has seen its share of drastic transaction time increases, most notably when Cryptokitties first launched. Because of its sheer size and utilization, making any significant changes (such as Casper and proof of stake) can be difficult. And if they do not implement things properly, it could lead to disastrous outcomes.

very good currency to invest

very good currency to invest

Pros
  • Progress is very good
Cons
  • It has been there in the market for so long but the price has been stagnant and I am not sure if I can make money

I really like this coin, price has been stable recently too even with the drastic decrease of BTC value. Great market cap and a good price. Very nice and profitable to mine.

Pros
  • ETH is very good to mine! Price is pretty stable recently. Great market cap.
Cons
  • Bad reputation from past mistakes. Scaling problems.

Overall still the best

Overall still the best

Pros
  • I have a great feeling about ETH in the future. Really stable when all price goes down. And all about project works well. Oh and yes those speed! Fast!!
Cons
  • Maybe some project about hard fork?

Strong candidate to emerge as the proverbial "Facebook" to Bitcoins "Myspace" (Poised to have more real world adoption, leading to market dominance)

Pros
  • Leader of actual D app development and deployment. Great team comprised of industry leaders. Project already has multiple real world applications being adopted.
Cons
  • popularity has led to scalability issues.

Overall not a bad cryptocoin and definitely one of the best

Overall not a bad cryptocoin and definitely one of the best

Pros
  • Its network transfer experience has been slightly better than BTC and the potential to build applications that use Ethereum is good.
Cons
  • The current syncing rate/process with the network is not so good

Absolutely amazing Platform. Ethereum is a Revolutionary changing application which changed the world for the better with the Smart Contract System.

Pros
  • Fast, Efficient, and Cheap to send and receive! Runs Smart Contracts for any Companies to build applications on top of the Ethereum Platform, which is allowing Companies to run very efficient and creating unreal opportunities. Ethereum had amazing growth since launch. Great Investment Opportunity!
Cons
  • Really can't think of any. But maybe just the opportunity the bad intentioned or just worthless companies to deceive the average person.

Overall ethereum has the potential to have staying power. One potential downside would be the ease of which fraudulent activities can pull off large scale heists. If the SEC takes notice it may come down hard on Ethereum in addition to the people behind the fraudulent tokens.

Pros
  • The ease of which one can create smart contracts run on the ethereum block chain is a major plus. The cost to confirm transactions on the ethereum blockchain for ERC 20 tokens gives ethereum a revenue stream and intrinsic value for the coin.
Cons
  • The number of transactions that can be confirmed per second will limit the scalability for both ethereum and the ERC 20 tokens on its blockchain.

Strong Blockchain with real potential. Excited to see greater future acceptance and it’s capabilities.

Pros
  • Blockchain that can be can be built upon to add real value. Creator still actively involved in development and direction.
Cons
  • Barriers to entry of ownership straight from fiat.

Overall its a great platform

Overall its a great platform

Pros
  • Very Popular - Scalable, with scope to cope with masses of network traffic .Allows Cryptocurrency projects to kickstart using their own Blockchain Platform .Very good investment option
Cons
  • None

A hugely popular Cryptocurrency - arguably more so than Bitcoin. Ethereum has been a key 'stepping-stone' for the development of Cryptocurrency and more specifically the implementation of new projects and ideas into Blockchain. A huge amount of traffic passes through the Ethereum network daily, and it's able to cope with it amazingly.

Pros
  • - Very Popular - Scalable, with scope to cope with masses of network traffic - Allows Cryptocurrency projects to kickstart using their own Blockchain Platform - Very good investment option
Cons
  • - With growing price comes growing transaction fees - No limitation of use, e.g. Cryptokitties (an incredibly useless platform) using a HUGE chunk of network transactions last month

This is joint number one crypto on the planet in my opinion. This and ripple present a great crypto coin portfolio

Pros
  • Many partners and clients. Hugely popular and widely accepted as means of payment. More stable than Bitcoin recently.
Cons
  • May still be used by criminal organisations. Widely varying price over time. Unpredictable.

Overall, one of the best blockchains and projects that will survive the burst of cryptocurrency market.

Pros
  • Team is innovative and pro-active in developing blockchain. Vitalik Buterin still believes in this project. Working hard to solve the scalability issues
Cons
  • Scalability issues demonstrated by cryptokitties.

The project is very active. It will be fast moving to POS. Hope the problem of scalability is solved with that. A very good project.

Pros
  • Excellent project. Envisioned as a platform where other developers can build on. Many ICOs have been happening on this platform.
Cons
  • Though it was kind of a response to the low transaction limits of Bitcoin, it also supports very few hundred transactions per second.

#1 cryptocurrency enabling smart contracts.

#1 cryptocurrency enabling smart contracts.

Pros
  • A strong expanding experienced team of developers. (What else do you need?) Ability to run smart contracts on the blockchain - tokens, escrows, exchanges, everything.
Cons
  • Scaling not achieved yet.
