@dana-edwards I do believe ETH will reach 2K next week as well! Let's hope it happens! 2018 will be the year of ETH and Steem. ETH supports smart contracts technology so it can be used in the dark web! If a coin can be used in the dark web then its value is going UP and staying there, and that's the case with ETH.

Ripple is dangerous! Banksters will definitely increase the circulating supply once they decide that their own coin has become too expensive for transactions between banks. You can't trust the thing, however I don't want to miss out either so I keep a small amount I bought at 0,05 USD.
