we all know that prices are affected by volatility, which is where more people use them the higher the value of the coin, the possibility that ETH can never keep up with bitcoin prices because its users are lower than bitcoin, Ethereum has not been able to become a major competitor of Bitcoin in savings and exchange rate issues

it is all in your head. nobody uses ethereum ever.
the only usage is when people buy it as a token to gamble in ICO and lose most of the times. and since these days ICO is dying ethereum price is also dying with it.

The value of ethereum from $ 15 in 2016 has reached $ 1,000 in 2017, And now 2018 we see from the rise in ethreum prices at the end of the year. So let's get ready for it because the ethereum is sure to exceed its 1,000 $ price mark in 2017 and may reach $ 2,000 at the end of the year.

Ethereum is currently at it's high now. Actually, people are predicting the high up to 800 usd. Are you talking about ethereum not as high as bitcoin?

[Kprawn]

Ethereum's price was bumped with the ICOs and since most mayor social media sites started to ban Crypto currency

advertisements, the ICOs declined and with it the price of Ethereum.   The only thing keeping them going now, is the few

merchants that started to accept Ethereum as a payment option and some online gambling sites.    Vitalik must find some

other use case for Ethereum or it will die soon.

There's a new chinese exchange with lots of volume on it for the last 24 hours.
It's very unusual for ETH to have more volume than BTC.
Price might go up soon.

[MochaDeny]

actually the price of ethereum is now quite high, if we go back to 2016 1 eth is only worth 15 $ and every year quite up significantly

[Jetakenare]

I feel the current slow rise of ethereum is linked to the too many tokens currently hosted by it. But then again shouldn't this make ethereum more popular since everyone must buy ethereum to buy into these new icos? Many question, few answers.

[glorybtc]

the core of this problem is the total supply of ethereum is more than bitcoin, so even though more transactions are using ethereum, the eth price can not exceed the bitcoin price

[jarojak]

If you compared to bitcoin, yes the price is not so high.  I think Etherum need more time to reach the price of bitcoin.

the fall in the price of the virtual currency is not solely the result of government prohibition plans. There is also the saturation factor of conservative investors who are unable to cope with the ups and downs of the Bitcoin price that routinely occurs.

Eth is the second largest encryption, the best encryption besides BTC, and there are also many eth and eth based assets, which add up to a high market value.

Ethereum is indeed one of the most undervalued coins to date. Like all coins, its price depends on the price of bitcoin. However, if the crypto-currency market begins to rise, this is one of the most promising coins that will grow in the first place. Especially, if it soon will be implemented project Plasma, which will solve the urgent problems with scalability. Therefore, it makes sense to buy this coin now, because it is now very cheap - $ 464.

Too many ICO's that are crap companies. They sell tokens using ETH and raise a shit ton of revenue and then dump ETH for us dollars. Very glad the government stepped in (did i really just say that?) to make these crap ICO's adhere to guidelines just like a regular initial stock offering .
ETH will grow in the next 5 years (i hope) after it rebounds from the shithole ICO's.

[rayk]

Ethereum's supply is not finite it is not a coin like bitcoin and those shit tokens and ICOs you see in the market always dump eth, it is a coin that is dumped always.

It has reached 1300$ is the highest price. But it was only made three years ago. In the past its price was around 30$. It has risen 50 times. That's a high number. And the total supply of ETH is more than that of bitcoin. Thus, the price of ETH can not be higher than Bitcoin
