How to Buy Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is an open platform that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications, Ethereum allows participants to run decentralized blockchain applications called Smart contracts! Smart contracts are highly secure and run with a perfect digital history making them auditable since these smart contracts can be programmed without any chance of downtime censorship or fraud. The Ethereum blockchain and smart contracts form a shared global supercomputer that can move/send value across the world, represent ownership & transmit tokenized assets and digitize many more complex financial applications. This allows developers to create many things all without a middleman and all immutable much like what the internet did for information, Ethereum has the power to open up the financial system to the world and build a safer more accessible and fair economy for everyone to participate in. Other projects like OmiseGo are now building on top of Ethereum, using this as a parent chain and providing scaling solutions such as Plasma to really push the boundaries of what is currently possible with Ethereum, other such projects like Raiden are also important in the long run as they allow transaction speeds to ramp up, whilst there are a range of other projects to speed up bitcoin exchanges and bitcoin applications such as the lightning network, Ethereum too will be using sharding along with other side chain projects to allow for a much more efficient and expansive system for everyone to participate. Whilst Ethereum is a platform that is specifically designed for people to build these kinds of decentralized applications with its own EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) allowing for peer-to-peer network for sending messages and a generalized blockchain with a built-in programming language, Ethereum can be used to build financial applications that are fully trustworthy and transparent because they run on a cryptographically secure system allowing for the storage and management of your property/digital property/digital assets using smart contracts, other applications such as social networking and messaging systems that allow users to maintain control of their own data systems for trading underutilized computational resources like CPU time and hard drive space and eventually tools for online voting and distributed governance and the most exciting applications are yet to come since this space is so new, some people are focused solely on the Ethereum price or how Ethereum price predictions are going to play out, sometimes it¡¯s not only the value of the price of Ethereum but the actual projects which successfully deploy on the Ethereum chain which will ultimately help discover the true potential of this technology, by providing a universal programmable blockchain and packaging it up into a client that anyone can use, the Ethereum project hopes to do the same for peer-to-peer human collaboration as a whole to create and expand the cryptoverse and push Ethereum forward!
