I very much doubt that the price for eth will be $ 2500 this year. The maximum that we will see is 1300-1500 $. If the price is above $ 2000 - I will be happy.
I think so too. Most likely this year will be worse than the previous one. But perhaps in a couple of months, rapid and steady growth will begin.
The market is still in an alarming state. And the risk is very high. ETH this year will certainly be lower than 2017. It may take about 1-2 years to reach the 1300$ price.
