Ethereum hype is dead, yet the price remains fairly stable.. They need a major announcement to get new investors on board..
Not after the DAO disaster. They won't.
Bitcoin still has never recovered to MtGox $1250. I would be surprised if Ethereum ever recovered to DAO $20+.
Investors may not waste their time on social media but I think they have a decent memory and don't want to risk their money on things with precedented security issues.
http://news.8btc.com/blockchain-software-security-report-by-china-cert-ripple-the-worstNEM is flying under the radar still but China Cert's report indicated NEM has the best quality code and security for a blockchain. NEM did 2300% ROI in 2016 and I think it will do another 1000%+ in 2017.
Don't let FakeNews Coindesk persaude you to put another dollar into Ripple, Ethereum or even dogchit Doge.
