What is Ethereum? — If Bitcoin (BTC) is the future of money, then what is Ethereum? For those unfamiliar with the cryptosphere, this is a reasonable question. Likely because of everywhere in the exchanges and news, Ethereum and its native cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH) are appearing alongside Bitcoin. However, it would be unfair to assume that Ethereum is in direct competition with Bitcoin. There are multiple lenses, features, and even technologies.
