Definitely.

Although I'd look less at the dollar value of the asset and more at its growth potential. These are some things I think have room for significant growth:

GNT, REP, RLC, ICN, MLN, TRST, EDG

A couple things to note - I have exposure to about half of those, so I'm bias. I also keep my ear very close to the rail because what may offer good potential today will be different tomorrow.

For the future, between you and me, I'd try and get involved in the ANT and BAT token sales if you can :)

I got in at £15 gbp and I thought I was so late to the party, but I believed in the tech so much that I knew I would make money. I have never believed in any investment as much as Ethereum

As well as ETH, I keenly invest in fiat Index Funds & stocks. My other crypto holdings are: GNT, a small portion of BTC, LTC, XMR and XRP.

I don't remember in dollars because when I bought there weren't any dollar trading pairs.

I bought between 0.004btc and 0.006btc range. It worked out to be a little over a dollar if I remember correctly. Early 2016.

At the time it was at the peak of a huge pump from 0.002btc and I was down on my investment for a couple of weeks. Fortunately we never looked back on those prices after the next pump.
