It seems like it was just yesterday that Ethereum prices were climbing toward $1,000. But since reaching $982.93 per coin on Feb. 18, 2018, ETH prices have dropped 45%.

He's worried about competition from EOS, which calls itself the most powerful infrastructure for decentralized applications.
"Ethereum is at risk of other coins like EOS doing the same thing, but better. We've perhaps already seen the best growth we're going to see from Ethereum in a while."
It's good to know multiple viewpoints when making an investment decision.
We know the downside, but if Ethereum prices do climb to $1,800, that would be a gain of 235% from today's prices of $536.74.
However, Bitcoin could offer an even larger return, skyrocketing to $100,000 per coin…
