New haircut? And yeah, I think ETH will reach $1000-2000 in 2018 once Proof of Stake, Raiden, and just one or two killer apps catch hold. If Proof of Stake offers interest in the sweet spot range (8-10%) then why would anyone with a large enough stash not stake?

My final take on Bitconnect, it's gambling. I'm not against it if the people marketing it admit it's nothing different from Satoshi Dice or anything else which is a gamble. Truth is people are going to lose more in my opinion trading on these ICOs than on Bitconnect as those ICOs are gambling as well.
