There is a lot of hype towards ethereum, so in your opinion is that a good time for holding this alt?
Yes, it is a very good time to buy and hold ethereum because it has very good potentials, it will yield reasonable price on long term. The price of ethereum is low now and it is good to buy a coin when it is low then sell when it is high. Ethereum has very good potentials and a strong team who manage the system.
although ethereum prices have continued to decline for some time, but it does not make ethereum lose its potential, the superiority of smart contracts and strong communities makes etherum remains a very good investment choice
