Where did you read that little gem and do you consider that it is a reliable source with in-depth analysis showing the reasoning or did you see it on a thread on here? Unless Bitcoin dives back to around $6,000 I would say the chances of Ethereum hitting that level are very remote.
Especially with so many token projects on it. 22 of the top 23 tokens (in the top 100 via coinmarketcap) are on the Ethereum network. That alone shows the value of ether (meaning there is a demand).
