Do you think these rumors are real? I tend to think yes and I think this will happen soon.
To be well understood, I believe in Ethereum's potential (even though so far I have lost money investing in Ethereum, but I notice that it is still a good project and this will makes it to explode one day) and I still believe that by the end of 2018 it will have an increase of thousands of dollars, but at the same time I feel that it will drop much more than it is now before starting the growth again.
This is an apocalypse! Ethereum can go maximum at around 6-700 USD. Less than that no. The market has only one way from this point, and that way is up!
