Ethereum is in a long term price channel on the ETH/BTC chart that has it reaching around 0.4-0.5 BTC sometime in the next few months. Given the amount of catalysts that are coming up I don't see this as being too farfetched. Casper, sharding, plasma, first gen dApps launching, futures/ETFs, raiden network, etc. could all launch or make huge progress this year. In terms of developer support no crypto project is even in the same stratosphere as Ethereum right now.
