I think ETH is a good altcoin for investment. I predict the ETH price will touch $ 13k at the end of this year. Because many project use etherum platforms and ethereum are a very popular coin.
I think you may have been mistaken. Agreed that many ICO projects use Ethereum's platform, but an increase of $ 13,000 to ETH is not feasible, only the BTC rate could increase to $ 13,000 in 2018. ETH in 2018 can only increase to $ 2,000 maximum.
Let's not expect minimum because eth may increase more than that. By the end of this year, we will see a great progress for eth along with other promising projects that will be successful this year. Hopefully the trading exchanges will have great journey along.
