Eth bubble is about to pop pull put while you can. I just sold all my ether for btc and bought 500 LTC which is a far more stable and safe coin to store value in. Think about it what has ether done to deserve $14 value??
Is it used as a currency - NO
Is it widely used for smartcontracts - NOT AT THIS STAGE
Does it have solid design - NOPE ITS FULL OF BUGS
The only thing holding the price up at the moment is hype, once that dies down ether is going down to $1-$2 range.
Yet, more than 5 months later we have almost the same price for ETH. I'm wondering myself what keeps the price of ETH on this level, but it looks like the coin is not going to die. Some say it even will rise more in the near future.
