1000$ is a little to high for DASH , But I think maybe for Eth which has some value and works .
Eth works. Sure but what about Eth's first DAPP? I recall a buggy crappy app called the DAO causing the whole block chain to fork also meaning the blockchain can no longer said to be immutable. But apart from that it just works. Btw Dash already is a DAO
also i should add that as far as i can tell the ethereum fork was just a
rollback not much of a bug fix and that means this incident can be repeated if another good hacker comes along to exploit the ethereum platform and then we will see another fork and another fork and so on while price drops and no amount of whale wall can prevent that.
