Almost every discussion about altcoins majorly is centered around ETH, this has taken over the first page of the
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0 section. This goes to show the important of the coin in the space and how much premium is being placed on it. My belief is that ETH will not die and most ICOs will continue to launch on the network. This will make the price to back up as the demand for it will increase.
There is no doubt about it. On the ethereum platform, several thousand different types of tokens have been issued and this coin is necessary for their movement. Therefore, it will always be in demand.
Ethereum is indeed often discussed on the forum, since it is the honored leader of the Altcoins and now it is unfairly too low in price. Not so long ago, there was a slight panic about the fact that ethereum fell noticeably in price even when Bitcoin was standing still or even slightly rising in its price. I think that problems with ethereum are temporary and especially after the expected improvements to this coin, it should soon gain further popularity and grow in value.
