I think the eth price will rise sharply.I read an article with Bill Gates .
He has written the Bitcoin and Ethereum Price will rise in the future.
1% of the money in the month in coins is ok. Then one is rich later .
I think he's right.

Did Bill Gates mention Ethereum Classic sepcifically?
No, he never mentioned ethereum in a real manner.
For the price, I wait another bull market from ether. But this won't happen soon, if we can wait around 6 months, we can reach around $600 or so.
Can we have more new applications for the ETH? Last price rise was driven by ICO.
