Crash in the value of Ether has also resulted in projects selling off their cryptocurrency.

Let’s take a look at some of the price predictions for Ether to verify whether Ethereum will investable in 2019 or not.

Ethereum will Become More Popular than Bitcoin

Crypto market observer and author, Jedd Reed is highly bullish on Ethereum. Reed is of the view that Ethereum is a better than Bitcoin in the long run.

He elaborated on why he thinks Ethereum will become more valuable than Bitcoin,

“Like Bitcoin, there is little stopping Ethereum from being an alternative currency to fiat and commodity currencies. You can conceivably trade anything using Ethereum, but this is not Ethereum’s strength in comparison to other cryptocurrencies – they can all do this. It’s rather the computing language that allows the smart contracts to exist that makes Ethereum more valuable than BTC.”
