ethereum have been crawling and no significant growth as been recorded,
ETH is overrated and I guess it's simply because of its ERC contract. Minus that, ETH is nothing but a shitcoin like most altcoins. The general market crash of 2018 seems to have really exposed it much more as no match for Bitcoin (for those who compare it with Bitcoin, anyway.) From an ATH of $1,432.88 on Jan 13, 2018 to below $200 now, one only hopes that the current bull run of Bitcoin drags ETH up back.
