In the course of this year, ethereum has mostly not been promising due to the many disappointing times we have experienced. Sometimes, it even become very difficult to know when to hold or sell out some ethereum. All the same, many people who trust in altcoins have kept some great faith in ethereum and that is an amazing motivation that ethereum can really bounce back and be the strong force most hodlers wish for.
I dont quite understand what kind of disappointment you are talking about, at the moment the price of Ethereum is stable, the potential of this coin is huge, and there are all the prerequisites that such a price will still exist during this year.
