Yes it is always in the struggling situation from a long period of time so when the Bull market is happening only then something changes in the development otherwise it remain in the same situation like the previous time.
The situation with ethereum will only improve, since you yourself can see the results of hardfork. Transactions have become much faster and cheaper and this is only a minimal part of what will attract potential investors and developers of new projects.
To date, ethereum 156 dollars and I very much. I hope that this year these figures should at least double. Although analysts say that in the summer we will be able to reach the level of May 2018, when the ethereum was 800 dollars. But this is quite a big jump, in which I believe very little.
It seems a bull trap for ETH. After reaching $170+ many shorts the trade . Lucky I sold at $172 and now buying back.
Of course, the price of ethereum still rises to $ 1,000, and this will depend on the price of bitcoin as long as it dominates the price over other types of cryptocurrency due to its high level of capitalization. However, this will probably not happen this year.
Yeah, I think it will take some time probably another year for a $1k ETH.
