I have some ETH, but I wouldn't buy it normally. I don't like the coin. Some of its developers claim to be communists and the remainder of the development community hasn't disavowed this claim.
ETH grants me access to DENT on HitBTC and DENT has been selling to ETH (at X4 my original purchase price!).
S. Wilson has some fairly accurate predictions and he seems to think that Ripple and possibly ETH will have a run up against BTC's market cap (and fail) before BTC's next big run. So I'm holding a few ETH in case that happens.
If you take a look at the graph of ETH on coin market cap, you will see an anomaly: The orange ETH/BTC line drops BELOW the ETH/USD line. This is not a normal behavior for almost any other coin. Does this indicate that ETH's value must rise dramatically for this seemingly standard pattern to restore itself? It might and that means I'm HODLing until further notice.
