I love the idea behind Ethereum. I am not sure it justifies the current market rate and adoption. I feel the drive is caused by ICOs and I strongly feel that all the ICOs launched so far are not worth investing, at least in term of true value. I understand people can still make good money by shorting ICOs, but I have not found any great implementation of the Ethereum network so far.
Exactly, market is driven because all of these projects and ICO.
I bought ethereum only because i needed to send some tokens which are using ethereum network. Unfortunately i was one of guys who were listening all shits about how ether is scam and I never invested in it.
