Ethereum is the same as Bitcoin under the hood since they use similar technologies. But there are two big differences between the two; first, Bitcoin is designed to have an upper limit of 21 million bitcoins.
The other way that Ethereum differs from bitcoin is in the programming language that they use. With Bitcoin, all transactions are recorded on a blockchain secured by cryptography and each transaction must be broadcast to every single node on the entire network for verification and approval – which takes a lot of time slowing down the rate at which transactions can be processed means it’s not great as currency; it works better as a store of value because you’re able to securely transfer something — say money or tokens or whatever based on what platform we’re talking about — from one user to another user without needing an intermediary [therefore decentralized].
If you Buy Ethereum, it is much more powerful because ETH a protocol that allows developers to build applications on top of the blockchain and use its computational capabilities for any kind of decentralized application. You can also go from being just someone who uses Ether to actually being someone who builds businesses or apps through this platform.
And so, I believe: as a technology, it has the potential to be even bigger than Bitcoin in the long term because there is an unlimited set of applications that you could build on top of this foundation.
Ethereum is decentralized not only in terms of the P2P transaction network but also in computational everything else. That means that any node can execute code for smart contracts, store their own data and participate fully in the global computing platform. Computational resources on Ethereum are called Ether which is basically generated by mining.
Growth
Since its launch in 2015, it has become increasingly popular with people looking for new ways to create communities themselves – whether they’re part of existing networks or building their own alternatives.
The technology also supports a variety of applications, including social networks; insurance contracts; electricity grids; voting systems, and more. It’s built on top of blockchain technology pioneered by Bitcoin but makes some key changes so that it can function more like the web-based programs most people use every day.
Ethereum functions like an open global marketplace for the development and execution of these programs. The technology also supports a variety of applications, from digital currencies to online voting systems.
Open source
Ethereum also acts as an open-source software platform for developers to build their own decentralized apps on top of it with smart contract functionality – which means they can be self-governing without interference from any third party or centralized controlling entity.
It’s open to everyone, wherever you are in the world – all you need is the internet.

Human rights
Ethereum is also a community built on the idea that no individual should have to sacrifice their rights for other people in order to build something great together and we think this model has been working really well.
We at Ethereum believe that everyone around the world deserves an equal chance of success and opportunity – not just those with privilege or access.
For example, participants will be able to use our platform without having any knowledge of programming (or paying someone else to write code). This way, they won’t need permission from Facebook or Google anymore either – because everything runs locally within your device!
This makes it possible for anyone who might otherwise face barriers building applications themselves: women looking to launch their own company, people from underrepresented communities who want to earn without leaving their homes.
The number of apps and developers using our platform continues to grow exponentially – we have over one million users on Status alone. Ethereum is making a world where everyone has the same opportunity at success. We can’t wait for you to join us through this journey.
