Currently eth is still the choice of many, although it varies between $ 300- $ 400 but it is a safe coin.
ya. the price drop just because many people withdraw their coin from btc-e. almost 12k eth dump to the market
yes some are go for the hardwallet just to keep there eth and the circulated ETH drops a lot thats why the price dip but again Whales are searching for good exchanger for them to trade again so definitely prices are not for a long term it's just a temporary one. For all time dump or the dip one is the best time to buy ETH.
