It is no suprise that the price of the ethereum is starting to rise, and this will be due to the fact that there are a lot of ICO tokens that are ethereum based that starting up, and i think that ethereum will continue to gain more and more popularity and we will see it continuing to rise in terms of value, because not only ethereum is a good cryptocurrency in terms of investment, but it allows developers, poeple with great ideas to get a kick strater on their projects by allowing them to create their own tokens and selling them to people intresstd in these ideas, and that is what made its price rise in the first palce, just take a look at the service section and you will notice that there are a lot of ICO based campaigns that are promoting their ideas and tokens, and i am pretty sure that we will see more of them in the future.
