Do you think ETH price will reach 500 $ by the end of this year?
Ethereum's today price:
$475$25 left for it to reach $500 and we still have more than a month to end this year. Very much possible to see Ethereum reach back to $500 and then let's all hope that it will break near to its all-time high just like bitcoin.

We all expect that to happen, as Ethereum is such a great platform that other platforms are hard to compare, but lately the high gas price has also been a major downside of the platform. This favorite, hopefully ETH 2.0 will fix that
There's nothing we can hope for that the 2.0 will settle things including the high price of the GAS. There were more people that have bought Ethereum in the last couple of days that the miners have doubled profits because of the high GAS. But anyway, Ethereum is inevitably hitting $500 and higher prices soon.
of course $500 is very possible for ethereum, even i believe the price will surpass $600 level before this year end
and next year ethereum price will create new high
Hopefully, no barriers.
