The ether dropped to $ 80 this year. If in the near future the air will grow to at least $ 200, it will be great, but people are afraid to invest because of the collapse and just waiting for growth.
Fear will become regrets, as we seen that ETH value are now almost double after that sudden fall, people who don't understand how this project works are really afraid seeing the huge downfall after reaching 1k$ last year, we are now in the process of seeing the bounce and if this will continue till next year it can go around 300$ first quarter of 2019..
