The dump in price of ether is as a matter of fact a very unique and rare opportunity to get in to Ethereum cheap and become rich simply because of buying at this point. I have been marketing this price to my family members to buy, I think we are at threshold of something great in cryptocurrency!
for now, it seems like many people are starting to hold back their ETH in preparation for the coming year. I also heard information that there will be a hardfork for ETH, so it's likely that the price will rise again.
