The history of Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) creates much debate in the crpytocurrency world about whether or not the taking over of Bitcoin is possible. Since its inception in 2014, ETH radiates an aurora of trust and hope about being the golden standard for cryptocurrency. This reputation results from not only a result of not the technology that supports it, but also its fearless leader Vitalik Buterin. Looking at its short history, it is no secret that the pace of growth and adoption has been rapid. The question now is whether ETH can maintain this growth while still pushing the frontier for security. The answer remains unknowable for now, but what many agree on as being true, is that Buterin and ETH have the best chance of leading this cryptocurrency revolution.
