All disputes about the price here are meaningless until the development team optimizes the project. They need to achieve high-speed transaction processing, universal acceptance as a means of payment, application development for convenient storage and use of Eth.
Ya, things are still early until we get scalability upgrades out the door.
I'm not convinced any blockchain needs "universal acceptance as a means of payment" though, let alone a platform blockchain like Ethereum (who's purpose is to support dapps, not simple value transfer like btc).
