I would recommend dumping all your Ethereum and buying Litecoin. LTC way way outperforming ETH for months now and likely to continue on that trend. Be a winner, buy LTC.

ETH holders are probably excited for the Ethereum PoS release date. The Proof of Stake update will allow them to stake their ETH and become validators on the Ethereum Network. However, the Ethereum roadmap changed since the beginning of 2018 which has caused a few delays. This pushes the new Ethereum PoS date back to mid 2019. But it's not all bad news. In fact, for most ETH holders the new ETH PoS date may be a blessing in disguise.

Ethereum is just old news, yesterday's coin, the hype is gone and noone cares anymore about ETH. Something new and shiny is on the horizon, and it's not Ethereum. Just dump it and get on with your lives.

It is probably not going to die right away since there are still many ETH believers around but Binance's IEO with BNB may come close killing it in the near future. It is already just one step behind. One more time a x3 pump on BNB and the FOMO will take care of the rest.

Buterin is in Australia for the second time ever, heading to Ethereum development conference EDCON in Sydney this week, from the 11th to the 13th. While the conference is broadly focused on all aspects of Ethereum’s development, Buterin says he’ll mainly be speaking about Casper CBC, a new consensus algorithm in development for the platform.

This new development is part of Ethereum’s ‘2.0’ roadmap, which Buterin says is coming along well, despite some readjustments and setbacks since the initial plans were set in 2017. The development team, which includes a number of Australians, have launched testnets for its new proof-of-stake network, and isn’t far off rolling out the 2.0 protocol.

“The actual protocol for Ethereum 2.0, which includes proof-of-stake and sharding, is very close to finished. We’ve had a lot of progress on the research and development front,” he says.

EDCON HACK is a two-day Hackathon, focusing on Ethereum Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions (Sharding, PoS, Clients, Plasma, Channel, Snark) . It's open to everyone who has interests, EDCON HACK team will provide supplementary resources, mentorship, and food for the candidates in need. We cooperate with Ethereum Plasma Team and world-class organizations to provide online training supports for candidates.

Degenerate gamblers can now go full hopium and lose their shirt or finally get their silly lambo following the sudden rise of a new crypto exchange that has become the very first to offer options.
Deribit, an Amsterdam based crypto exchange which has been operating since 2016, now allows you to trade bitcoin or eth options, as well as futures.
