This looks really interesting. Ethereum has always been one of my top 3 coins to own. (Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum)

I really see these three existing alongside each other for many years.

I'm not sure how much I will purchase right now, I have a feeling that post IPO may experience a drop once the network goes live, however I have been wrong many times before.

I'm going to keep watching this.

lol you are right, but i think eth will rise better than bitcoin (its a total noob idea  )

Ethereum Rises to a New All-Time High, Nears $250.
The ethereum spring continues as the currency makes new highs daily recently, rising to $249 from a recent low of around $150. It is dragging everything else up too, including bitcoin which has not yet made a high after its drastic $1,000 correction around 10 days ago.
The currency is rising for many reasons, but maybe this time Putin dunit as the Kremlin is boasting Putin met Vitalik Buterin to talk about blockchains.
We don’t know what exactly was said, but we can imagine Buterin probably spoke at around 1,000 miles per hour, in Russian, while fidgeting and occasionally trying to catch some breath in a hiccup way, while Putin probably just smiled and nodded, saying something like, yes, sure, we support “the idea of establishing ties with possible Russian partners,” while actually wondering something like – erm, what did this guy just say?

Any ETA on when Ethereum will switch to merged PoW/Pos?
