Etherum is heading for $ 500. In December there will be a lot of ICO launches, which will help Etherum continue to increase prices until early 2018. Luckily, I bought Etherum two months ago.
Not sure about that, Icos is not helping ethereum to reach the current rate but the interesting update about POS that brings the ethereum into the next level. As you can see about the fact that a lot of people are buying ethereum before that migrates into the proof of stake system and applied the staking method instead the mining.
