about 3 months, there has been a lot of fluctuation causing the price of ETH to drop dramatically. At this time Should hold ETH ? Can ETH price increase again 1k3$ again in late 2018 ? 
as ripple continues to dominate the number two position,i guess this is the right time to give up in trusting ethereum and divert to any coin that hs much potential,people now are starting to realize how unreliable ethereum has and cannot promise good profit anymore,eth and xrp always fight for 2nd place, hopefully eth always wins
It's really a competitive game between those two. But while eyes are focused on the top 20 coins, some underdogs are making their way gradually to the top. It'll be good generally for ETH to gain 1k3 reputation again but at this rate, that kind of rally needs a huge BTC pump, if their relativity is anything to go by.
