Also, I reckon no one read my comment about this news. EOS is surpressing Ethereum on the market but many of the replies are positive.
Not exactly a "crypto developer" but I had one with Steve Wozniak from the convention as well: https://nulltx.com/exclusive-interview-apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-talks-blockchain-reveals-upcoming-involvement-with-crypto-startup/
I think it's pretty evident that much of Ethereum's run up throughout 2017 was from people purchasing ETH to buy ICOs... Of course, this goes both ways, and EOS and others likely are creating a strong negative sell pressure on ETH. However, I do not think this is sufficient in keeping Ethereum down as it's still the #1 platform being used by mainstream corporations and Fortune 500s. Is it the best in terms of performance? Not necessarily. But similar to how Bitcoin is King of crypto 1.0, Ethereum is king of the 2.0 generation.
I personally see the $20k prediction as quite optimistic with just one quarter of the year remaining. However $20k will be shattered in the next run up- which will not take a very long period of time from start to finish. If we see new money entering by start of December I see this happening. With NSADAQ and Bakkt coming to fruition by end of year potentially, this is possible. Lee seems to put a pretty strong emphasis on the role of an ETF or other means for institutions to buy Bitcoin.
Is Ethereum really being used by mainstream corporations and Fortune 500 companies? I reckon if they are using it, it might only be experimental and they might have stopped experimenting in it by now hehehe.
In any case, if you are referring to the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance, I reckon they are building their own platform based on Ethereum's code?
