In 5 years the price will likely be lower than many people anticipate. The biggest problem is that investors have trouble differentiating between the Ethereum platform and ETH the token released to raise money for development of the platform. Largely, this lack of understanding has been promoted by proponents who publish or link to articles that have nothing to do with the public chain and are related to the platform only, as if they represent value to the public chain.
ETH investors have been sold on the idea that a decentralized public chain that runs hundreds (if not thousands) of times slower than a cell phone or the 8080 processor is a super computer. The fact is it's extremely limited in its capacity to run multiple smart contracts for thousands of DAPPS as people without computer skills have been convinced. This is already becoming evident; but, will be obvious within five years and as a result price will be lower than expected.
ETH has served it's purpose in providing funds to the Ethereum Foundation for the development of the platform. They have raised millions selling approximately 30 percent of the foundation funds just in the last four months as can be seen here:

Ethereum the platform is more interesting than ETH the token and might be used to develop private chains connecting international business. These private chains do not add to the value of ETH the token and are only useful to the organizations with access. The platform is just one of the many similar platforms developed by companies such as IBM, R3 or others. It remains to be seen which platforms will become dominant players in the future.

I don't want to speculate about price, but from what i see price can go only up. There are lots of new projects, lots of coins are being sold during ICO and mostly they use ethereum platform. Users need ether to transfer them, more new coins are upcoming, the higher ETH price will be.

We only know in the future. There can always be a black swan event.
Vitalik will keep growin ethereum with a good ecosystem. The price would be around $2,000 if no hacking scandal happens.
20% up in the last 24 hours. I am expecting $1000 plus before year end
Uhh that wouldn't have anything to do with Bitcoin itself being $3,000.00 per coin would it ?
And why has Ethereum gone up ?
Also did you guys notice it's already been out for 3 years ?
Nothing to do with bitcoin. I am talking about a steady demand

In 2025 Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin , in the 2022 it will be very close to Bitcoin.

I agree with your idea. But I do not think that the number of coin which is based on the etherchain causes the significant increase in the ethereum price. Because ethereum is not just a good crypto, it is also the future and people are buying future right now. That is why the price of ethreum always goes up, just like bitcoin From what i see ethereum is something worth of investing.

5 years don't know but by the end of the year is going to be around 1000$
I think it depends on bitcoin destiny. If bitcoin hard fork will success then ethereum will lost his price a lot. Because now ethereum price grows up so fast because of fear before bitcoin hard fork of some investors. My price is between 1,500-3,000$. When bitcoin price should be not less then 10,000$. I am very optimistic 
Some says bitcoin prices might goes up to 100.000 dollars. So are you sure that you're optimistic?
In 5 years, we'll be talking about the year, 2022, where bitcoin block halving will have taken place 2 years ago. We'll observe huge price movements.
cmon $100000 for 1 BTC?!?
I don´t believe there is such a huge market.
Ethereum in 2020 I could imagine around $1000.
it's possible dude, bitcoin with forex market and big rich billionaries investors can increase a lot, 100k is doable in 2020-2030 time frame, at that point ETH would be 1000-10k range with easy

What would be your target price of Ethereum for 2022?
I think ethereum will be around $1200/ETH and bitcoins price is around $250k/BTC, i make target up to $1200 because in 5 years later will many projects be builded on ethereum with its smart contract on there, we can see right now almost all of big corporations support for ethereum, we can imagine ethereum in 5 years later the projects on ethereum blockchain will be more than right now.What would be your target price of Ethereum for 2022?
If the current situation continues,we'll have eth at $1000 or even more many good tokens are being created using ethereum based token and many people now continue to trust eth I'm happy that I invested eth when it was low it's one of my best investment so far.
Yes, that is whay im saying it can go up at least 100 dollars in 2 or three days so I expect 1000 in the short term

I hope ether will hit 1000 $ to 2000 $ in next five years . I cant really compare with bitcoin with ether like how much bitcoin for one ether . if there is no strong alternative currency comes until ether will grow
We may be expecting it to be around $1200
What I am doing now is saving some Bitcoin (%70) and some Ethereum ETH (%30) from a wallet. Earnings from successful trade or coin payments from my services. I save the 5% from my BTC and ETH wallets. In the future the price might be 10x to 20x.
Why cant discard the possibility that ETH could keep gaining 3000% every year
Eth were like btc in 5 years ,it can be considered as one of highest value alt.
Why cant discard the possibility that ETH could keep gaining 3000% every year
So, do you guys think that is cheap getting ethereums at the current price based on your 5 year target?
No. I think eth will drop to $100 or at least $150 again before getting higher than it is right now. You I think now is a bad time to buy it.As for the price, I don't believe its marketcap will overcome bitcoin and thus I suppose that eth's price will be around $600 at that time with btc around $5k. Sounds unbelievable though. And eth might as well explode and be worth around $10 at that time if it gets a hard fork.
