I think because Bitcoin is stable it's helping other currencies like Ethereum and Steem are growing . 

What do you say @frogtron ? Do you have Ethereum?

The price of the Ether, which had declined since its last record high at $ 400 last June, could reach new heights.

The rise in the price of Bitcoin beyond $ 8000 seems to have benefited a large part of the "altcoins", with rising trends observed especially on DASH and Monero.

And it could now be the turn of the Ether to shine, as it has almost equaled its previous record of 400 dollars, after a downward trend started since mid-June.

Ether, which is already the second largest market cryptocurrency in the market, is right behind Bitcoin in terms of notoriety.

If this is the latter that seems to attract the most attention from the media and observers, partly because of its rise of more than 700% since the beginning of the year, it should be recalled that the price Ether had started 2017 at less than $ 8, and has since recorded a rise of about 5000%.

Now, the Aether seems ready to really break the $ 400 mark - and there is every chance that the rise will continue, as was the case for DASH, which has almost reached $ 600 this week, before a retracement to around 550 dollars.

Predictions for 2018??
