Two years since op posted this quoted message, Eth has already hit it's new ath. I am very much optimistic that two years down the lane, eth will again set new ath and will not go below it's atl level ever.
Lucky are those who bought at that price.
That teaches people a lot about crypto,,, to sit through one ATH and wait for the next one. I envy those who were in the ATH periods for Bitcoin before 2017, they definitely would have known even better this current one was coming. It is all a patient progressive development, with crashes littering the charts;)
