$19/ETH this year, call me crazy.
Nope. Not crazy.

The Etheruem set a new all time high of dollar price yesterday. So it is possible for the price to rise further.
True. Though with DAO coming soon eth will prob drop a lot.
We need another DAO or some kind of new applications to consume the Ethereum. If there is one, the price can be maintained.
No worries. There will be more applications of the Etheruem in the future. The Augur will appear.
