Weve also expected ethereum price to spike leading up to split. However, prices remain low. Whats the likelihood that ethereum will rise following the hardfork?
Yes it is logical the price to spike before the split, not after. The chances are now that ETH will remain low. Unless bitcoin with some breaking news pulls everything up. With regards to other nations like Russia investing in bitcoin, it would be wise on their part if they invest, but they don't seem to get it. The nation that gets it, and has some money to invest, will be a huge winner one day when bitcoin starts to rule over all the other currencies, including fiat, crypto, bonds, and others.
