I'm watching the price of ether rise by vast amounts every minute, which is exhilarating but also a bit concerning to me at the same time. As an investor in ether myself I want the price to rise and do nothing but rise to greater lengths, but from doing some readings myself I've come across a lot of articles saying ether's price is largely influenced by buyers and sellers. I guess this just concerns me because if it is mainly influenced by investors doesn't that make it vulnerable to major losses just like the stock market experienced back in 2009? If ether/cryptocurrency is the future for deregulated money systems as many people (myself included) believe it's going to be, is there anything else besides investors keeping the price of ether rising? I'm sure I'm not totally informed on how it all works down to a T, but I would love for this question to spark up a discussion with others that may know more than me, or for others that also have concerns about ether!
