This is my humble perspective on Ethereum.
I believe any alt-coin, such as Ethereum, that has a real and substantive real world use-case is bound to appreciate significantly over time - the greater the use-case, the greater the appreciation.
An indication of the potential of a given asset class is to see what is flowing into it. At present, there is an enormous flow of investment into the Ethereum space, especially for DAPPs and smart contract development. This certainly bodes well for the future of Ethereum.
Recently, Ripple have created “bridges” to link Ethereum with the Ripple network. In effect this would allow an Ethereum smart contract to execute and fulfil currency related transactions as programmed within the DAPP – this is HUGE people! If Ripple manages to take on the status-quo banking system, armed with Ethereum smart DAPPs, then the potential for upside are humongous!
Since this is a Stellar group, it would be fantastic if some development into Ethereum and STR/XLM bridges could be started by developers and/or the Stellar Foundation/Lightyear.IO. The path is beginning to be laid and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see this path... We need to be proactively developing links/bridges into assets such as Ethereum and preparing Stellar to take on the banks and other SMEs.
