but there is a big fear regarding Ethereum these days. the fear that is caused by the upcoming hard fork that ETH must have otherwise it will no longer be useable because of the difficulty bomb.
and when the hard fork happens a large number of people involved with ether will go away. these were miners who have been supporting and mining it so far. they will go to the next best thing and the media will be filled with that replacing ETH for pump and dumping.
This is what I'm unsure about. Long term I think Eth will be fine and will massively increase, but short term I don't know. There could be a huge drop, but equally it could all pass with no damage to the price. Very difficult to predict the market.
