Study the new technology called DAG before you make any decision on ETH investment, or in that matter BTC too. Talk to the experts who is technically competent.
100% ETH compatible new consensus core will be released for public trial soon. This is the aBFT based DAG core which is decentralized, fast, secure, and safe consensus algorithm.
In simple terms, there will be no reason to use ETH for dApp development since the new core is fast and without mining.
With the partner who already released core, we will be do the same soon. It is open source code for the people who seeks FREEDOM from the Big guys which will bring opportunities for the investors to invest at the start of the game.
@Poukitoun, The 1st generation cryptos need mining; PoW or PoS such that one needs to pay the mining fee where as new generation cryptos do not. Why do you want to pay $1.00 for buying $10.00 product? Also, transaction speed is too slow something like 7 per sec. for BTC and 12 per sec. for ETH. New generation cores are up in 100,000 TPS.
