Ethereum at >$1000 will really change the game for alts and may bring again the days of the ICOs and we should begin to see new lights in the industry. I'm not so concerned about Bitcoin movement right now, as everyone expects it to rally. But for Ethereum, whether or not the POS switch will make an impact on the price remains heavily speculated. So I would truly love to see $1,400 or even higher for the first time.
when the ethereum price is above $ 1000, I think it will really affect other altcoins, but I'm not sure that it will affect the ICO. if it affects a new project, it will affect IEO, not ICO. in addition, changing ethereum from POW to POS is likely to be very good for ethereum users. I am pretty sure that with this, many people want to buy and hold ethereum, even more so if the function of ethereum is so useful.
