Is Ethereum about to explode, considering the upcoming hard fork on the 18th of January?

![ethereum.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX5thoA3oWXWehaxdjPMS7wVxMtGym3JFhTRr5FfHq7YK/ethereum.jpg)


It is possible that Ethereum’s price will increase after the EtherZero (ETZ) hard fork on the 19th of January, possible reasons include:
Investors buying Ethereum/Ether (ETH) to increase the amount of free EtherZero they receive (ETH holders will recieve one ETZ for every ETH they own)
Investors could sell the EtherZero after the hard fork and use it to buy more Ether.
Due to the above reasons, Ethereum’s price could rise rapidly (similar to what happened with Bitcoin) and this would attract new investors who want to take advantage of the price increase.
We can look at how hard forks have effected the value of Bitcoin in 2017 to help give us an idea.

Bitcoin doubled in price after the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hard fork and continued its bull run throughout the year and increased again after the Bitcoin Gold (BTG) hard fork and only slowed down after the Bitcoin SegWit2x (B2X/Bitcoin2x) hard fork was cancelled.

Before the Bitcoin Cash hard fork one Bitcoin was worth about $1,600 and after the Bitcoin Cash hard fork the price for one BTC was $4000, then shortly after the Bitcoin Gold hard fork one Bitcoin was worth over $10,000.

Intersting.  I'm curious to see where this goes.  And I wonder how the rise of ripple will effect ethereum.

Good day STEEMIAN!

This is all free and opensource information; all you need to do is upvote all posts of @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer and receive the sharing of the 33 percent of all SBD author rewards on a daily basis, no questions asked.

The @minnowminer program aims to help in the awareness program of the versatile JOULESTEEM circuit, a non-solar non-wind approach to low-power offgrid energy generation  by re-distributing and sharing the daily SBD gains of all posts made by @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer.

The JOULESTEEM circuit is reaching a very encouraging milestone (@lightingmacsteem post #51) that enables it to harness non-conventional offgrid power sources (air and ground as a huge capacitor) which is in turn made to charge big capacity batteries. This makes it very much ideal for low-power energy generation no matter the location, no matter the weather, no matter what time of the day.

To be able to fast-track its adoption worldwide and to where it may be needed most, the @minnowminer program is introduced to encourage all STEEMIANS to help and be part of the quick transformation of the JOULESTEEM circuit.

This is maybe the only straight-to-the-point no-questions-asked sharing scheme that will enable each one to earn and learn as a STEEMIAN.

Keep on STEEMING guys!!!

👍 chey

Thank you. It may be best to upvote the BLOG post and learn and earn at the same time. The support of many will surely bring this offgrid energy approach as common a knowledge for everyone.

I'm a big fan of Lucyd.  Lucyd is launching the LCD token generation event to decentralize the AR revolution. They are designing next-gen smartglasses that correct many of the issues plaguing currently available products, and a blockchain app ecosystem to support them. Follow the update page I made for the project for new information! Upvoted you!

Yes! It's possible to happen because we are now in the cryptocurrency world when no one can control the prize.
