You missed the BIG increase in price, unfortunately, however Ethereum does have a bright future - it will likely become the new payment/contract layer of the internet.

Also, when you invest in Ethereum you open up a whole new world of crypto that is built on Ethereum. It's in the early stages now but there's some very compelling projects being built on Ethereum (for example, BAT token, which is a new advertising platform built by the co-founder Mozilla and the creator of Javascript).

I'm uncertain what's going to happen with the price in the short term - I would suggest putting a little bit now just so you have a stake. Then just keep putting money in when you can. Even if it crashes in the near future (very possible) I think long-term it will far outpace its current price.

Good luck!
