If you look at the whole price chart, then it's downward, what can change it?
If you look at the historical graph you will see that ETC has gone up as the time has passed by but if you look the at last weeks or months you will see a downward trend but that is after a massive movement in the altcoin market that happened in the first 6 months of the year.
Eth does not have that potential of touching the sky in the coming years. Unless and until the bitcoins are playing hard in the market, eth can’t produce a drastic profit. Eth needs a lot of improvement and updates in order to remain in the picture. Otherwise it will disappear soon.
I both agree and disagree with your comment, ETH is not going to touch the sky in the next years that is right but to think the second coins in market cap is going to disappear soon if no improvements are made is a little bit drastic, At worst another coin will displace it from the second spot on market cap.
