The speaker holds Ethereum for two reasons: half as a long-term investment, half because they use it daily and get paid in it. They expect Ethereum to hit $10,000 when institutions recognize its advantages over Bitcoin and pour capital into it.
Half the reason why I have Ethereum is actually because I want to invest in it for the long term, and the other half is just because I use it all the time. I'm using it, you know, I get paid in it from some things, and I truly, truly believe in a $10,000 Ethereum one day. I think institutional investing for Ethereum is coming. People are going to be investing in this thing like crazy when they realize how much better than Bitcoin it is.
