Ethereum is just a tool, maybe it will be better after hard forks, but will anyone want to use it? I see no obvious reason for the growth of ETH in 2019 and I do not expect it.
Don't you expect ethereum to experience growth this year? I myself am sure if this year there will be growth in the ethereum market, besides the hardfork that will occur, the increase in ethereum is also important for altcoin which is integrated with the etehreum network.
