Because of the problems and the brakes in the Ethereum network, the ETH course now reduced. It's time to buy it. But it could be another pullback (up to$ 400) if you look at the charts. Of course not like this. It would be better returned to the bullish trend
I have heard that the etherium network is very crowded these days since there is a popular cat game, I do not much about that game, but I hope this problem can be solved in the near future since I think it will limit the future of eth.
Cryptokitties are partially clogging the eth network yes. However, there is a common misperception among the crypto community that this is stopping people from transact, which is clearly misleading and may lead to unnecessary FUD which in turn just compounds the original problem which is scalability. I personally think this is a lack of knowledge and/research since I conduct several eth transactions almost everyday and rarely get delayed after last eth upgrade - simply raise your gas to 450k and Gwei to 60 - yes it will cost you a bit more but at least you keep getting fast confirmations.
So, in my view, the problem are not the kitties, in actual fact, I think they are positive to strengthen and grow mass adoption, gain new markets, push use cases into the "normal" realm that loves games/collectables.
The scalability problem for eth has always been there and still is - same can be said of many other big coins, such as btc, kitties just happened to be the first Dapp that triggered this sentiment and sense of urge.
