The problem about Ethereum is that scaling it is really difficult.
Not sure if these problems will be solved, the only thing I'm sure of is that if it fails, it would be 10x worse than the Bitconnect fiasco.
Yes, the actual problem is scaling not the price.
ETH can reach any price as it's divisible to lowest of decimals but it's the fees per transaction that's limiting it's rise.
If Ethereum works to solve this problem, ETH can easily win over BTC.
Tbh right now for ETH hodlers the bigest problem is the low price, not scaling. No one had any significant issues with the transaction speed and fees, volume is pretty low right now so people are more concerned about the current price.
I've noticed that right now the amount of decent ICOs decreased significantly (that's obvious thing during such dips) so that probably affected the ETH price. I know nothing about technical aspects of mining and other stuff but Vitalik Buterin is one of the best minds in the crypto world. Ethereum still remains more established blockchain then any other.
P.S. Bitconnect was a fiasco only for those who was "smart" enough to invest in this garbage. I see only positive outcome from its collapse.
