All you need to know about Ethereum

If you have ever heard of cryptocurrencies, chances are high that you must also have heard of Bitcoins. Bitcoins, the first ever decentralized applications to function as a medium of exchange clearly dominates the crypto market but there is a lot more that the highly-volatile, yet a promising crypto market offer, and Ethereum is one of it.
Simply speaking, Ethereum is an open software platform based on blockchain technology which enables the developers for building and deploying decentralized apps.
It has grown tremendously since its inception and it is currently the second-biggest by market capitalization value.

What led to the inception of Ethereum?
In 2013, the idea of Ethereum was proposed by Vitalik who came up with an idea of building the entire Ethereum system which would be supported by a global system of nodes. (He called the volunteers who download the entire Ethereum’s blockchain in ther desktops and enforce the rules of the system by keeping the network honest and receiving rewards in return).He then presented his idea in a white paper and  announced the project in 2014. A few months later the team which comprised of members Vitalik Buterin, Anthony Di Iorio, Mihai Alisie, Charles Hoskinson, Joe Lubin and Gavin Wood decided to hold a crowd sale of ICOs for funding the development and it turned out to be a huge success.
Is it similar to Bitcoins?
Ethereum raised around $6 billion during the launch of its ICO and emerged as one of the global leaders in the cryptomarket. Just like Bitcoin, it is also a distributed public blockchain network. But, they differ completely in their purpose and capability. The Bitcoin blockchain tracks ownership of virtual currencies, whereas the Ethereum blockchain emphasizes on running the programming code of a decentralized app. In Bitcoin blockchain, the miner mines Bitcoin, whereas in Ethereum blockchain, the miner mines ether, a crypto token which is used to fuel the network.

How cryptocurrency prices work?

The cryptomarket is characterized by high volatile nature of the cryptocurrencies. The swrils and sways of the virtual world might give you a ‘pinch-me’ feeling at one moment while it can also send chills down your spine at the other.
When it was first launched, it did not have any official price at all as it was being sold in dollars. When the first exchanges started to take place, gradually a price for it also got decided. It started at 6 cents and reached around $22 in 2011. The Bitcoin then took off and climbed rapidly over $140 in 2013, it was clear from the trend that the investors had started to take interest in it.
However, for understanding the mechanism of functioning of the cryptocurrencies, it is necessary to know how the price of cryptocurrencies works.

Numerous Factors regulate the ups and downs of the cryptomarkets
It is different from the fiat currencies as the price of the cryptocurrencies is not set by the central government thus most of the regions do not accept them as a legal tender. The prices of the Bitcoins, thus is not decided by a single factor but numerous factors. It is traded on several cryptocurrency exchanges, all of which have different average prices. Indexes gather the prices on several crypto exchange platforms and use the average of it to determine the price. But the index sites do not function as an exchange platform, if you wish to buy or sell a Bitcoin, you will have to choose one exchange platform which possesses its own average price. Liquidity is another factor which contributes to the ups and downs in the price of the cryptocurrencies. Apart from these, the government policies also contribute to the fluctuations of the cryptomarket.
Some sites also offer the complete information about the trading rates of the cryptocurrencies, thus one can check the price of the virtual currencies from there as well.

What is Cryptocurrency mining?

The Cryptocurrencies or the digital currencies were introduced to provide the world an alternate mode of transaction. It was designed to work as a medium for facilitating transaction, when the first ever decentralized cryptocurrency got released in early 2009, it sent ripples across the world. It raised several questions which also led to several inceptions. One of the concepts which is integral to understanding about the cryptocurrencies is the cryptocurrrency mining and understanding how does it work.

The term mining refers to the process through which the Bitcoins or Alt coins are generated. Since, there is no central authority that issues the Bitcoins, they are created through cryptomining.



How does cryptocurrency mining work?


Cryptocurrency mining consists of two major functions, i.e. adding transactions to the blockchain (verifying and securing) and releasing a new currency. The process needs a computer and a particular software which aids the miners to stay ahead of their peers and solve mathematical equations. In regular intervals, a miner attempts to solve a block having the data required for transaction using cryptographic hash functions. A numeric value called the Hash value is of fixed length and it uniquely identifies data. Miners try to make the best use of computer to zero in on a hash value less than the target and the one who cracks the code first gets a reward. The reward for mining a block is roughly limited to 12.5 Bitcoins as of now.

With the growing popularity of the cryptocurrencies, mining has emerged as a lucrative business which is capable of generating good revenues. Earlier, people could mine their own cryptocurrency using standard PC, but now the quality and the quantity of the hardware has effectively increased in line with the number of people mining.

However, since the amount of electricity needed for cryptocurrency mining is massive, the industry has begun looking for alternate solutions for facilitating mining.

ICO Token: How to invest them?

The bandwagon of ICOs has created a ripple and garnered attention of people across the world. People are eager to get on board and try investing in the ICO tokens.
Distinct from digital coins or cryptocurrencies, these digital tokens are emerging as one of the fastest growing trend for fund raising where the investor buys an ICO being offered by the entrepreneur for investing in his business and pays him in Bitcoins or other virtual currencies.



The company first of all create a digital token that are pre-defined by the issuing company which takes into account the amount, terms and conditions and value. It will serve as the smart notary for the future transactions, so one must make sure that all the criterias are fulfilled.
After this, the token is acquired by the investor who will use the ICOs for dealing in what has been promised by the issuing company.  It can then be used for transactions which is supported by the platform that issued the token.
There are different types of ICOs such as Utility tokens, Stock tokens, Credit tokens and Token combos which are available that are  offered by the issuing company. Thus the investor can check and see which kind of token suits him the most.
However, before investing in the ICOs, it is necessary to evaluate every possible aspect of a campaign and decide if it a win-win deal or a risky one.

Why investing in ICO can be profitable?

The conventional methods of taking a business to next level are the dust-laden pages of history. Now, the ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) have come up with an unorthodox approach to offer a new mode of investment to the investors.  It is a new way of creating capital through cryptocurrencies. Companies create additional token and they sell it to the investors in exchange of Bitcoins.
‘Cryptocurrencies’, a relatively new term, which was unheard of a decade ago, has been hogging headlines for quite some time now. For one reason or the other, Cryptocurrencies are ‘Talk of the Town’ most of the time.



The Bitcoins, Ethereum, Ripple are some of the digital currencies which have captured a major portion of the crypto market. Studies suggest that $6.6 million was raised selling a total of 217 ICOs in the last quarter of 2017.
Although investment in ICOs is subject to market risk, investors are often cynical about spending their money in the crypto market. However, if you wish to make them aware of your lucrative business, you can convince them by proving why investing in your business would be a deal of benefit.
For instance, the Ethereum project launched an ICO back in 2014 for developing smart contract applications which used the blockchain technology. It witnessed the value of its digital token Ether to shoot up from $1 to over $480.
Present a white paper to them which gives a clear vision about your business.
Globally, there has been a silent boom in ICO fund-raising, and Europe and North America have emerged as the global players.
While cryptocurrencies are still not considered as a legal tender, many other countries have embraced the plethora of options that they offer.
ICOs were the red-hot trend till last year, its popularity has certainly witnessed a downfall, but the volatility of the cryptomarket is what makes it an enigma which the world is constantly trying to demystify. So, ICOs are still one of the growing alternate which proffer plenty of growth and profit.
