All bullshit aside, no pumping,....just some thoughts:
- The # of transactions per second keep increasing. currently at 4k/second. that's pretty damn impressive
- when there are 'bugs' in the system, they can be fixed without forking the blockchain
- there are numerous ways to invest your coins (i.e. stake, RAM, etc)
- the number of DAPPS keeps increasing; airdrops keep coming
- the inflation rate of EOS is being reduced from 5% to 1% in the near future
- sending EOS is essentially free
*.....and last but not least,...and there are many others, but this one is pretty vital ---- Bitfinex will soon be on the EOS platform so that transactions for their customers is much faster. This essentially means that a lot more EOS will be bought, tied up, and used for/on the EOS blockchain. It's NOT going to sky-rocket overnight but I suspect that the price will steadily increase.
$1000 per EOS by end of 2018? Not a chance! ...... I'm thinking $15-$25. That's a good start. For those that bought ETH back in early 2017---yeap....that's how it started. So,....is EOS the Ethereum killer? Uhm....maybe not/maybe not quite yet,....but is it a contender?........OH ABSOLUTELY!
Good luck. Don't be greedy.
