Anyone mind explaining why ETH has not crashed and burned yet?
well it just broke down from a rising wedge, which is forming the right shoulder of a massive h&s...
to answer your question, vitalik spoke at coinbase today, so if coinbase does ether there will be a pump from that.
vlad and vitalik have both admitted they don't actually know how to scale ethereum and scaling is still a "research project"

. (they've admitted that this year) pretty soon they'll figure out their "idea" for scaling violates the cap theorem. even with zero use their blockchain is already bloating. beyond 'hello world' prototypes theres gonna be a lot of problems and a lot of drama with insiders selling off before announcing their failures to handcuff a bunch of dapps (which are not decentralized) to their platform in any way that scales.
