If it will manage to reach $500 by November then the other $500 will be easier on December.
Etherium is a leader among ICO-platforms. Its value should definitely grow along with the entire market. ETH is a strong player, his game is not over yet.
Yes, it is the leader of ICO platforms both legit and scam ones. And that's why it has been hardly dumped because of those ICO creators that dumped their ETH and just took the profit out of it. If most the ICO projects are like those then its unlikely for ETH to reach $1,000 again. OP are you setting your sell order @$1000?
