I was not buying ethereum before and last year I see bitcoin as the only good Cryptocoins to hold. Around April when ethereum fall below $800 I see it as an opportunity to buy and since I bought it has refused to recover above that level. Did you think ethereum will recover this year again.
With a strong possibility at the end of the year, the ETH will recover and rebound to $ 800 in exchange rates. So investing in ETH at this point is justified because current ETH is only $ 230, and you will earn a profit if the ETH rises at the end of 2018.
