Ethereum (ETH) History and Overview

Ethereum (ETH) History and Overview

Ethereum is a decentralized software platform that uses blockchain technology, commonly referred to as its native cryptocurrency, Ether or Ethereum crypto. Anyone can access and utilize secure digital technology using Ethereum. The live Ethereum to USD conversion is $ 3,313.19.

With the ETH crypto token, users can pay for work that helps support the Ethereum blockchain. They can also use it to buy services, physical items, or trade it for regular money. Developers like to use ETH to make new and secure technology that makes our everyday lives better.

Bitcoin has a limit of 21 million coins, but Ethereum initially didn't have a maximum supply. Vitalik Buterin decided on this to make a network with endless coins, providing more room for growth and flexibility. Currenlty, the amount of eth in circulating supply is 120.26M coins.

Ethereum first shared its coins during a big sale in 2015, creating about 72 million coins right at the start. People spent these coins in various ways, such as funding Ethereum's development and rewarding the miners who verify transactions.

Ethereum is interesting because developers can make apps which can imrpove various industries. It also uses smart contracts, which are essential for creating decentralized apps (dApps) that people use in IT and finance.

Key points to remember:

  • Ethereum is more than just a digital asset; it's a platform for decentralized applications.
  • In September 2022, Ethereum made a big change to work faster and be better for the environment. It switched from using a proof-of-work method to a proof-of-stake method.
  • As the go-to platform for innovations like DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs, Ethereum is shaping various industries and daily activities.

How Does Ethereum Work?

Vitalik Buterin created Ethereum with the help of Joe Lubin. They first shared their detailed plans in 2014, and Ethereum was up and running in 2015. It differs from Bitcoin because it is built to be flexible and handle growth. As such it is the ideal platform for all kinds of decentralized apps (dApps).

Proof-of-Stake Mechanism

This system uses complex algorithms to agree on network transactions and keep everything secure. To be a validator and help create and check blocks, users need to stake ETH. If they do something wrong, there are penalties to keep everyone honest and the network safe.

Wallets and Transactions

Digital wallets represent ether ownership. Users have private keys (not the currency itself) which they need to make transactions on the Ethereum network.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)

Thanks to Ethereum’s smart contracts, we have DAOs. These offer a clear and democratic way to make decisions in decentralized networks.

The current price of 1 ETH in USD is $ 3,313.19.

Here is also something to think about👇


MicroStrategy—a company roughly the size of Chipotle—bought more $BTC last year than all new bitcoin mined in the world.


What happens if Meta or any other big tech company starts buying bitcoin? Meta for example is 20x the size of MicroStrategy🤯

Under the new EU regulations, running two fully compliant strategies would be significantly more costly and complex. Given that Diversitas EW has a relatively low AUM, we opted to consolidate it into Diversitas, which will continue operating with the required compliance.


@JEDEX @goldenfibs

Okay, good to know. What makes Diversitas allowed to continue and Diversitas EW not?

Thanks for your comment @Diversitas if you can help add some clarity... How come one of your strategies can remain operational but not the other and what are the requirements for a strategy to remain public?
