ETH will allow $2T of underground economy to become more structured (and possibly less underground) through DAOs.http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/04/23/americas-2-trillion-shadow-economy-is-the-recessions-big-winner/If it captures 1% of that $2T, it is equivalent to $20B, which would put ETH somewhere around $150. Those who sell for $2 will shit bricks, eat sand and may even commit suicide in the years to come. If it captures 10% of that ETH will be $1500. I know it sounds crazy, but so did the Internet in 1995.
Once it's launched their main focus will be on scalability, which I think is the real reason crypto is not ready for mainstream. Once they can handle 100K TPS (and I'm sure they will), it's game over.
Sometimes it is funny to see old posts, and see people that thought that bitcoin was never going to reach 10 dollars or something, but to think that someone thought that The DAO was going to be a breakthrough, when it was what caused the division between ETH and ETC and BTC still reigns supreme despite all the prognostics that said that it will not.
))) Remember 2015 many people quit from this world just because they see price drop too low.
