- From LefterisJP:
Am I the only one who really dislikes it when by just visiting an #ethereum related URL one or multiple metamask popups appear?As a user I expect all websites to work without metamask and for me to be able to enable it via some button like @MakerDAO ‘s Oasis does.
- From Byemijnr:
@instablog9ja Right now, 1 Bitcoin is #3.9million while 1 Ethereum is #99,000. I just discovered a way to accumulate ethereum within a short time. You can earn 150eth or $30,000 in (6months). When you convert that, its worth over #3million.

This is my own work - From CryptoMichNL:
Ethereum at $250: ‘Nah, I’m going to keep this one for $280.’
Ethereum at $225: ‘Ooh shit, it’s not going to $280, I sell’.Ethereum at $250: ‘Yeah, that looks good, I’ll buy.’
Ethereum at $225: ‘Nah, that looks shit, not interested.’Reverse your thinking.$ETH

Breaking Down ETH 2.0 – The Next Generation of Ethereum
The changes that this upgrade is going to bring in a host of changes like – proof-of-stake, Sharding, eWASM, Plasma, and the Raiden Network. Ethereum 2.0 has been an open secret for quite some time now….Image Credit: Plasma Whitepaper Let’s break down the functionalities: If properly implemented, the Plasma protocol will allow Ethereum to speedily and efficiently execute vast amounts of data, without clogging up the main blockchain. The next significant update to consider here is eWASM….Another thing to keep in mind is that the original Ethereum POW chain will continue to exist along with the beacon chain in the early phases….In fact the beacon chain is not going to be particularly useful in the early stages since it will be able to do the three most important things that an Ethereum chain should be able to do – process transactions, execute smart contracts, or host dApps. However, Ethereum has purposefully done this….For ETH 2.0, the Sharding will result in the blockchain partitioning into 64 shard chains that will run parallelly and should be able to communicate with each other easily….With the implementation of POS and Sharding, it will be exciting to see how Ethereum’s throughput improves. Beyond Phase 2, there should be more opportunities to increase the overall reach and functionality of the Ethereum network.
