With the increase in price of ETH and it has a chance the price will reach to even more than 2000$, I don't know bitcoin price is decreasing in the market and it makes ETH to increase it's price.
Things change very fast in the world of cryptocurrencies and after few days we are seeing every single coin being slaughtered, at the time I'm writing this out of the top 100 coins 99 are losing money and only one is having a small growth, ETH now is trading at 800 dollars so we got a massive FUD and this is why things have changed that much but even with that I think we are going to have a good 2018 year but I do not think ETH is going to reach the goal that many had of 2k in the next month.
Why do you say no? Ethereum could manage to reach $1450 2 days ago. And we have almost 350 days more until the end of 2018. Then how come you claim ethereum can't reach $2k price?
I think it will manage to do more this year. Wait and observe.
The topic says "in February" so coin_1122 just said his sentiments for ETH in the next month. Your point was for this year, he may be thinking the same way as you for this year.
In my case, I don't think 2000 is hardto achieve in February.41 days is still a significant period to have this price change.
