The Story of a Coin (2): Ethereum $ETH
In 2013, a 19-year-old young man named Vitalik Buterin was thinking about a new idea.
He said: Bitcoin is great, but it only sends money. What if we created a network that could run programs too?
In 2015, the Ethereum network launched.
Its most important feature is smart contracts. They are programs that carry out agreements on their own, without a bank or an intermediary.
They led to the creation of many applications: new currencies, games, and digital art.
In 2016, a major project on the network was hacked. The community split, and then they decided to fix the problem.
In 2022, the network changed how it works, so it now uses much less energy.
Today, Ethereum is considered one of the largest networks in the world.
