It's a Yes.. Etherium is one of my favourites and most trusted coin.
Yeah ethereum is much better then bitcoin as compare to performance. It will rise its price to extreme as they start to deploy on it, it will raise its volume and demand, driving the price higher. It is most likely that it will appreciate substantially over the next 12-18 months as these networks and their huge user bases come in to production and the true utility of ETH is unlocked.
