As you know ETH has been in high price few years ago, but at the moment cause of some problems we can not see right price of ETH yet. It doesn't mean ETH will not rise up, possibility ETH will get up. In my humble opinion if you are a long-term investor, must choose ETH. As you above said it is the best time to collect ETH. It will be worth to do that, you can earn good profit from ETH.
The Ethereum was never the same after the beginning of 2018 on the market. For some reasons, its response to the price change has been a little slower since that impressive run and failed to move with a huge margin when Bitcoin increased by more than 50%.
