Obviously Ethereum is one of the top project in blockchain industry now.Most of the ico are based on ethereum smart contract.
Highly qualified developer work with ethereum and most importantly vitalik is behind this project.So you can invest without any concern.
I completely agree with you and the fact that ETH is already a long time in second place in the coinmarketcap this fact also speaks volumes
but more recently on coinmarketcap it was noticeable how ripple was ahead of the capitalization of the Etherium and took second place too. I also believe in the potential of the etherium, but this change in leadership positions makes me wary.
