The potential of the ETH project is unambiguous and the future of the project depends on the ETH development team. Therefore, it seems to me not quite right to talk about my visions of the future project, but I will say that I hope that the ETH project will be a worthy competitor of other platforms.
Ethereum is already a worthy competitor to everyone. Its rate depends on the market as a whole. That is, it will not succumb much to bitcoin's trend or others. Its rate falls only if the entire market falls.
