I believe ethereum has a pretty good ability to compete with other altcoins, and I also believe that ethereum still has plenty of opportunities to pump higher.And I still believe long term selling at a price of over $ 1500.
Actually ethereum is one of the best altcoin so far and I don't ever shock when it pump over $1,000 because as far as I am seeing bitcoin breaking its ath I am also seeing ethereum to do so. This probably the speculations of the many that both bitcoin and ethereum will break its ath and like you I am still holding my eth until $1,500 in which it may really pump so high. Long term investment in ethereum will give us a lot of opportunities so let's just hold our eth into the peak of it's value.
