I read Vitalik Buterin announced the Ethereum upgrade in the near future and the speed increase of 1000 times . If this happens, the price of ether will grow several times, and so it will grow. Ether-one of the few coins where the team is actively developing.
The Plasma project only at the initial stage is able to give ethereum a throughput of hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. However, there must be many more good improvements. In addition, the appearance of etcoum wrapped bitcoins will also increase the popularity and price of this coin.
Ethereum should soon go up very well and may well become sometime the leader of cryptocurrency.
