It's sad. The ether here fell to $ 1000, but that's all against the background of the depreciation of bitcoins.
Based on the past recent months trend, I speculate that the price of ethereum will be around 2-3k USD
Ethereum is going to switch from Proof Of Work (POS) to Proof Of Stake (POS), this makes the miners to mine Ethereum Classic (ETC) or any other coin that can be mined from the GPUs especially from the RX 580 and with the increase of the epoch which is going to 4GB very soon I think that the GPUs with 4GB of RAM will switch to another coin. With the increase price of Ethereum the fees will also increase which will not be friendly for micro-transactions and I think that people will still look for another coin until they meet dogecoin which is very cheap very fast and probably one of first coins which was started as a joke but then became very popular.
I don't have these details, but when the time comes, ethereum will be much more valuable than this. Ethereum mining is very costly now and people are spending tons of money on it. This also creates the value for ETH.
It will go up in the next years, the question is the volatility in the long run. If you can just hold your coins than its good. If you try to win in the short run it is pure gambling...
