Ethereum at 130$
Yesterday I posted about the new record high for Ethereum which was standing at 115$ but in the last 24 hours we have reached a new historic maximum price currently standing at 130$.
Trading volume has also seen a huge increase by about 20 % today exchanges have registered 528,000,000 $ in trading .
All or most major cryptocurrencies have seen large gains, to which Steem is no stranger either.

Ethereum is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. It provides a decentralized Turing-complete virtual machine, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which can execute scripts using an international network of public nodes. Ethereum also provides a cryptocurrency token called "ether", which can be transferred between accounts and used to compensate participant nodes for computations performed. Gas, an internal transaction pricing mechanism, is used to prevent spam and allocate resources on the network.
Much is to expected from Ethereum as they head into the next Milestone protocol called Metropolis expected towards the end of this year and then finally the transition into the finished product by developers called Serenity.I myself bough into the presale with about half a bitcoin which fetched me 1100 Ether, due to circumstances almost all of these coins where sold at ridiculous prices ( around 3-7$) but I hope to buy some back soon and get back into the Ether speculation game along with many others.Do you own Ether? What are your thoughts on the future price of this great alternative to bitcoin with its many special use cases and built on blockchains?
