Etherium is the currency which is the second branch with classical etherium ERC. The price of ERC is very low as compared to ETH. The new currency was improvised by the prior management due to some issues.

A few months ago, when I joined this platform , the price of etherium was about $345 and Bitcoin was hitting almost $7000. Now if we compare it with the previous price then we have to go behind the scene.

The price of the token depends upon market caption and circulating supply. As we know that from a few months circulating supply of Bitcoin is a low but the market caption is at top and is at number one. 

Etherium is the second major currency. Its circulating supply is also aided by the sellers and buyers. As we see the buyers focus on such currencies and buy it in the period when its price is very low. They invest and sell when the price is at its peak. Three year ago this was about $35 and now today it's at $605 right now and it is many many times exponential as compared to before.

I hope it will cross 1000 dollars very soon. Many of the other currencies depend upon etherium for transactions and it will be difficult for people to pay gas fee.
