It looks like blockchain is recovered again. Transactions take seconds with 5 gwei. I changed my address due to etherdelta thing and it cost me very little.

At the moment, at least out of GDAX, ETH transfer is the most economic compared to Bitcoin or Litecoin. It took me only 0.5 cents, compared to 1.5USD for Litecoin and Bitcoin.
Speed depends on number of current transactions and can be checked online dynamically.

The lower fees on ETH are benefiting vs BTC, in comparison Ethereum should gain business BTC is losing I think.   Hopefully this helps spreads which gives a reciprocal effect to help encourage further use of ETH for various transactions due to greater usage.

There is a cut off when we reach ETH theoretical limits on transactions per second and I do hope that is not a hard limit.    How close are we and would a change to POS help improve the overall situation by encouraging greater involvement by wallet holders in the transnational network ?   It would be good to hear some good news on this not just for ETH but crypto overall, since ETH is protege to the Bitcoin crown.   I think its possibly a big question while the various forks argue over directly copying the largest blockchain I think we may step sideways, feasible imo

from every coin cheaper and transacted fast i like eth coin is realy easy to send and receive
and also many of tokens we can save them in one place and now the transaction fee is reduced and back to normal
i think eth will be more stable then bitcoin
bitcoin transaction fee is really insanely high only big amounts are good to send and receive in bitcoin
so i prefer eth coin for making transfer fund from one place to another

On Christmas Eve, December 24, the price of leading cryptocurrencies fell by large margins. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, Litecoin, along with every other cryptocurrency in the market with the exception of a few have declined substantially in value.

Out of the 10 most valuable cryptocurrencies in the market, Bitcoin Cash and Ripple have recorded the largest losses, falling by 18 percent and 17 percent respectively. The two cryptocurrencies have also surged in value earlier this week, resulting in a bigger correction than other cryptocurrencies in the market.


I hope ETH will be $2000 in 2018 or i will DIE!

I hope that within 2018 these issues will be settled. My last eth transaction is more expensive than bitcoin.

Merry Christmas fair ETHtraders!
What gift awaits us today? What will we unwrap? The continuation of a massive bull run?
Perhaps witnessing a dead cat bounce from big brother? Will we rise while he falls?
Will another ripple-like pump surprise us all and cause us to shake our heads in disbelief?
Will some fud show up and put a damper on festivities? Will someone launch a kitty app that clogs up the network?
Crypto, the most colorful show in finance...
telling myself to enjoy, be thankful for your gains, be thankful you’ve been blessed to be so early in this game, be thankful for all you’ve learned, and be hopeful that next year will be even more prosperous.
Hoping and wishing we all end up a whole lot closer to our version of the moon by this time next year.
I predict 800+ easily by the end of year..

This year has turned to be a hell of a ride for all crypto enthusiasts let's see what 2k18 will bring to us.
