Yes I also have expectations from Ethereum to reach $ 1000 but not at the end of this year. But I think Ethereum and all altcoins will go down because of Bitcoin fork is coming in December. The reason is when Bitcoin fork comes, people dump altcoins to buy Btc and all altcoins goes down. Next next and next year am very hopeful that Ethereum will reach $ 1000. By the way, its always a good idea to invest in Etherium Classic also, long term I am absolutely bullish about it.
