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 $ 2,632.38.

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 $ 2,632.38.

Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade: The Real Game-Changer?


Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade, set for March 2025, could redefine the network’s efficiency, reducing gas fees and doubling transaction speeds. The upgrade introduces Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) that increase data availability, enhancing Layer-2 scalability & reducing congestion. Investor excitement is fueling record-high ETF inflows, with $3.17B added to spot $ETH ETFs in the past few weeks. On-chain analysts believe this could push $ETH past $4,100, as historical price trends show 20-35% rallies after major upgrades.Β  With Ethereum still leading DeFi (TVL: $57B), the question is: Will Pectra be enough to maintain its dominance, or will Solana and other L1s steal the spotlight?

Ethereum Technical Analysis: Recovery or Rejection?


$ETH is currently hovering around $2,750, consolidating after a sharp recovery from its recent dip. The RSI sits at 54, signaling neutral momentum, while the MACD is stabilizing, suggesting the market is waiting for a clear direction. $ETH must break above $2,800 with strong volume to confirm bullish momentumβ€”if successful, the next major resistance lies near $3,000. However, failure to reclaim this zone could lead to a rejection and a retest of $2,700-$2,680, the lower Bollinger Band support. Ethereum’s short-term trend shows resilience, but buyers need to step in to push past resistance levels. On-chain activity and ETF inflows remain strong, indicating institutional demand is still present. With Ethereum’s Layer-2 growth accelerating, interoperability upgrades like Polygon’s AggLayer and Base could fuel the next rally. Will $ETH sustain this recovery, or is another pullback coming?Β

I saw you have removed RUNE from the strategy. Do you think RUNE has no future? I was a big holder but sold everything, with profit but still dissapointed in RUNE

@CryptoMan Can you be a bit more specific with your question about $RUNE ?

Data about exchange reserves is even not reliable…

Exchanges drying up is the biggest nonesence ever. There will always be supply. Also OTC desk will have unlimited supply. There is always someone wanting to sell their bitcoin at the right price.

Are all the coins at the Exchanges for sale? Or is there a large numbre of bitcoins held at the Exchange that are owned by individuales or companys?
