every step higher is bit harder then previous step, you can't have 100x over 100x again and again
nothing is impossible in crypto world.. there is always that possibility, but if we look at ETH price from th first 20 days on 2018, I think to reach $10000 will take a very very long time... maybe not in the next 2-3 years..
I don't think it will anytime soon, unless Bitcoin goes up to like $40,000. It took fork after fork and people selling their alts for Bitcoins, for Bitcoin to reach $10,000. Plus insane media coverage.
I agree with you that it won't be anytime soon... but yes, something might happen in the future ~
