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 $ 3,175.58.

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 $ 3,175.58.

It seems that $BTC and $ETH spot etf could be quite big from day 1. Trading starts tomorrow.


Don't get shaken out. $BTC is forming another red weekly candle. 5th in a row. This rarely happens in a bull market. I do believe fun times are still ahead of us. But as said before, it can't go up forever.


We have made a nice trade with $HBAR pump and sold around 20% of our holdings. Should we sell more? Now it seems so, but it easy to be smart afterwards.


Have a nice day! 😊

As a little extra:


$ETH looks good above 3.3k. everything below is chop with a potential move lower.

My assessment hasn't changed since the last update.


$BTC is still in the same boring range and looks weaker every time it touches the support at 60k.

All the while ETF flows are slowing and S&P500 and Nasdaq bouncing nicely, without any participation from crypto.


$ETH was in a good spot for a very short moment during the weekend, but reversed already, painting a dire picture.


All in all, we're still range bound with meaningful downside risk persisting.


I see no reason to enter here.
