Ethereum is one of the great potential altcoin. Many ICOs are built on the foundation of Ethereum. I believe that in the future Ethereum will grow strongly and beat Bitcoin one day. However, I think Ethereum will find it hard to reach the $ 5,000 price by the end of the year. The market is facing many difficulties. It will take a long time for the market to recover and grow. I guess the highest price that Ethereum can achieve in 2018 is $ 2,000
