I'm in both camps, Ethereum and Bitcoin. I can envisage the utility of both. Bitcoin and a storage of wealth and Ethereum as the world computer fulfilling smart contracts, etc. What I don't understand is why the diehards Bitcoin fanatics cannot see this. The Bitcoin community cannot even decide on changing one digit for gods sake. Ethereum seems to have more authority and leadership guiding it to its goal. Long may it last.
I really like the idea of Ethereum and the sheer endless possibilities it creates. You could say I value Ethereum highly for what it can be.
But I'm unable to grasp the reason why the tokens should have a high price for Ethereum to work? The tokens are used to run the DAPPs, right? Do the DAPPs run better when the tokens are more expensive?
The price right now is pure speculation as we can't really quantify how much one Ether cost. However, keeping in mind that there's "only" 72 million (I know there will be more each year) and considering the potential it has to actually be adopted and used (unlike Bitcoin, which 99% of the population doesn't own or care about) then you can infer that 1 Ether should have a relative high value if that makes sense.
Imagine if institutions and companies around the world (like Microsoft and Reuters in recent news) start developing dapps and using Ethereum blockchain. All this massive platform require fuel to work, and Ether being divisible like Bitcoin, well then, I'm not saying it should cost $10, $100, $1000 or more but if Bitcoin went to $1300 with such a bad name and minuscule user base then anything can happen.
