500$ is nothing for Ethereum.. this is just the begin and we're gonna see so much more exciting things happening with ETH.

When people will realize what is possible with the blockchain, and when they see all the important use-cases that will be implemented in the future, and how it will help their everyday life, then we'll see some real money pouring into the crypto ecosystem.
