I dont think that ETH will die, because it has its strength and benefits. When we has join ICO we need to buy or hold ETH to buy ICO. It is more and more popular worldwide. Even now a lot of people can buy and hold ETH because the price reduces so much. They can hold it and next month or in the end of this year they can gain the profit.
I'm with you 100%, it will follow the same course corrections as BTC and end the year at least 30% from where we're standing now. It's too popular, too accepted and it's the #2 out of thousands....If anything I as well, think that now is a good dip to get in as news gradually increases to roll out...Buy the dip! all my opinion...
