That's true because it's hard to predict what be the price of ethereum because we still on in early month of this year.its more realistic the prediction of Ian McLeod because it's hard to if we hit a higher than $500 price year. Still many things will happen for this year so we don't be need so rush about the price.
2019 is still long, prices may be able to form improved if the market makes a good increase from now on. ethereum can reach more than $ 500 if bitcoin has a high increase and I'm sure if that happens then a large investment can enter the crypto market and that will trigger the etehreum to rise by more than $ 500.
