Is the time right to invest in ethereum or is it at a bad time? 
Sure if you want to have shitcoin in your folio then buy etherem because thats what deserves noob investors
Why need to buy ethereum when you can buy eve small portion of bitcoin?-and in this top coin you're assured of having future profit,not like ethereim that only exist and progress because of the scammers ico that for sure will stopped when the ico releasing will be regulated for sure the erc20 users of etherem will be lessen and this shitcoin will drop drastically
Those ERC tokens have real use in the real world, that should make it not that scam ICO of course there are scams we all know that. But you gotta give credits to those successful ICOs that did well right now, some of them by the way are worth more than $5 already. Eth can just be the good option for those who were late in tbtc train so putting their bet on ETH is probably the right choice.
Probably we'll here for the eth generation to become more popular and gathered more interesting feedback from investors. With the current trending on erc20 tokens which has successfully launced their project this 2018, the future is here for their holders. That would bring positive impact to the entire eth community, so the choice of getting involved with eth community is our financial assurance.
