Title: What Makes Ethereum Special?
Post by: totol02 on July 27, 2018, 01:29:55 PM
As you have likely gathered at this point, Ethereum was built to be more than just a blockchain to hold the Ether cryptocurrency token and confirm transactions, Ethereum was built to be an open source and decentralized blockchain-based software creation platform that any developer can use.

At the core of this platform/network is a “blockchain-based smart contract system,” to which one contract type is the native cryptocurrency Ether (which trades under the symbol ETH). However, unlike with Bitcoin and its blockchain, Ethereum’s platform is designed to run code rather than just account for coins.

With that in mind, Ethereum can be used to do a range of things. It can be used make multiple unique cryptocurrencies, to do any type of contract, and even be used to create/store blockchain-based apps.

This can result in unique tokens/cryptocurrencies that aren’t Ether (but use the Ethereum network) like Augur, Golem, Aragon, etc, traditional contracts like insurance contracts (“contract” is a term that encompasses many things here; it goes beyond just basic contracts), and even software (like a Minecraft like game that is now hardcoded into Ethereum’s blockchain; a DApp).

With all that said, let’s go over some more Ethereum facts to move beyond what we have covered already:

    FACT: Ethereum-based tokens can be traded for Ether on the EtherDelta token exchange. This is useful for trading new tokens from ICOs as soon as they launch.
    Stoked on Ether yet? If not, check out this list of reasons to buy Ether.
    TIP: Ethereum is the system, ether is the token, despite this… most people refer to all of this as ethereum and use the terms ether and ethereum interchangeably.
    DID YOU KNOW? You can actually create your own token right now (via tokenfactory).
    FACT: Ethereum initially launched as an ICO. Meanwhile, many ICOs use the Ethereum network.
    FACT: Ethereum currently uses a Proof of work model of mining, but they are switching over to Poof of Stake. Learn more.
    FACT: Another name for a cryptocurrency is “token.” Ethereum’s native token is called “ether.” Ethereum’s “ether” token trades under the symbol ETH and it is what most people think of when they think of Ethereum. Learn more about ether from ethereum.org.
    TIP: Developers can “fork” off the Ethereum blockchain and create their own tokens (these may have different names in practice, for example KIN). Meanwhile “ethereum classic” is the original ethereum cryptocurrency. Ethereum classic still trades on cryptocurrency exchanges and can be used as cryptocurrency. A new investor probably just wants ETH (Ethereum’s ether) and a digital wallet like MyEtherWallet (or a coinbase account with a built in Ethereum wallet).[8]
    FACT: Ethereum is a popular choice for ICOs due to its capabilities. About 1/2 of ICOs use ether-based coins.

From what i think it should be the because ethereum is one of the pioneer in creating smart contracts and we see many ICO want to use it to generate their own coins.

I think what makes Ethereum coin special it is because many tokens has been integrated to Ethereum coin and it is being used of some online payment.Ethereum is special because it has the highest price value in all altcoins now.

This  is very useful information for beginners.
If I may say to add comment is next major update which is called serenity.
Ethereum is still POW right now. but after serenity, moving POS instead of POW.

In POS, the Minor in POW becomes the role of Approver.
In the POW method, work was done to approve the block by mining, whereas in the POS method you can gain the right to approve the block by staking the ETH on hand, and if you approve the block it will be rewarded as a reward I will be paid.

In order to solve this Nothing at Stake problem, the POS method of Enterprise is introducing a mechanism that makes a bet in a real sense.

The POS of the Enterprise that is planned to be implemented at Serenity is also named Consensus by bet, also known as Consensus by bet and is totally new concept in approval work in the cryptographic currency.

Stake to the approver to approve the correct block, give a reward if it is approved, and give a penalty to the approver stuck to whom the block is not approved.
In this mechanism, the approver stakes the ETH on hand with confidence that the block will be approved.
It is said that correct block can be accepted as economic rationality because it is possible to receive the incentive corresponding to mining fee as its consideration and conversely there is a possibility of losing the ETH on hand by penalty.

Ethereum is a chain-of-block platform with intelligent contracting functions. Eereereum has a function like a virtual machine that can run smart peer-to-peer contracts with ETH (ETH) cryptographic money. In addition, ethereum is the most popular altcoin in the ico field, so this is what makes ethereum so desirable.

As you have likely gathered at this point, Ethereum was built to be more than just a blockchain to hold the Ether cryptocurrency token and confirm transactions, Ethereum was built to be an open source and decentralized blockchain-based software creation platform that any developer can use.

At the core of this platform/network is a “blockchain-based smart contract system,” to which one contract type is the native cryptocurrency Ether (which trades under the symbol ETH). However, unlike with Bitcoin and its blockchain, Ethereum’s platform is designed to run code rather than just account for coins.

With that in mind, Ethereum can be used to do a range of things. It can be used make multiple unique cryptocurrencies, to do any type of contract, and even be used to create/store blockchain-based apps.

This can result in unique tokens/cryptocurrencies that aren’t Ether (but use the Ethereum network) like Augur, Golem, Aragon, etc, traditional contracts like insurance contracts (“contract” is a term that encompasses many things here; it goes beyond just basic contracts), and even software (like a Minecraft like game that is now hardcoded into Ethereum’s blockchain; a DApp).

With all that said, let’s go over some more Ethereum facts to move beyond what we have covered already:

    FACT: Ethereum-based tokens can be traded for Ether on the EtherDelta token exchange. This is useful for trading new tokens from ICOs as soon as they launch.
    Stoked on Ether yet? If not, check out this list of reasons to buy Ether.
    TIP: Ethereum is the system, ether is the token, despite this… most people refer to all of this as ethereum and use the terms ether and ethereum interchangeably.
    DID YOU KNOW? You can actually create your own token right now (via tokenfactory).
    FACT: Ethereum initially launched as an ICO. Meanwhile, many ICOs use the Ethereum network.
    FACT: Ethereum currently uses a Proof of work model of mining, but they are switching over to Poof of Stake. Learn more.
    FACT: Another name for a cryptocurrency is “token.” Ethereum’s native token is called “ether.” Ethereum’s “ether” token trades under the symbol ETH and it is what most people think of when they think of Ethereum. Learn more about ether from ethereum.org.
    TIP: Developers can “fork” off the Ethereum blockchain and create their own tokens (these may have different names in practice, for example KIN). Meanwhile “ethereum classic” is the original ethereum cryptocurrency. Ethereum classic still trades on cryptocurrency exchanges and can be used as cryptocurrency. A new investor probably just wants ETH (Ethereum’s ether) and a digital wallet like MyEtherWallet (or a coinbase account with a built in Ethereum wallet).[8]
    FACT: Ethereum is a popular choice for ICOs due to its capabilities. About 1/2 of ICOs use ether-based coins.


The reason that makes ethereum special is smart contact platform. For now, many tokens integrated to ethereum.

if I see it, the ETH is like a coin in general, it's just that it distinguishes it, it comes out first of the coin that has just come out, and the price is also very high because it already has a smart contract and is one of the altcoins used for airdrop, bounty forum and so forth.

Yes, and in addition, Etheruem is a decentralized software platform that enables SmartContracts and Distributed Applications (ĐApps) to be built and run without any downtime, fraud, control or interference from a third party. Again, it is sought by developers looking to develop and run applications inside Ethereum.

The genius Vitalik Buterin opened the smartcontract for ICo which can create new tokens under the Ethereum network.
So from all that provides an opportunity for others to create new tokens or tokens after the SWAP Network.

Ethereum is Ether asset exchange platform that can be used to create online services based on blockchain technology. So it is very suitable if Ethereum is said to be special.

maybe because it is successful in the ease of transaction and has also been found or listed in almost all markets. ether is also a platform for other altcoins. making it very good in terms of reputation from ether.

Ethereum isn't your average cryptocurrency. It is a decentralized platform that runs on a custom-built blockchain. That kind of platform that allured prodigious corporations. Although true believers see the platform as something far way more than a tool for corporations. They view it as a way to decentralize the internet - and make it more democratic.
As competition amongst businesses in many industries stiffens, blockchain technology is likely to become even more in-demand in the years to come. While there are many competing blockchain programs out there, the architecture behind Ethereum’s blockchain system made it uniquely adaptable and extensible that ultimately, Ethereum became the platform of choice for for crypto-asset entrepreneurs

As you have likely gathered at this point, Ethereum was built to be more than just a blockchain to hold the Ether cryptocurrency token and confirm transactions, Ethereum was built to be an open source and decentralized blockchain-based software creation platform that any developer can use.

At the core of this platform/network is a “blockchain-based smart contract system,” to which one contract type is the native cryptocurrency Ether (which trades under the symbol ETH). However, unlike with Bitcoin and its blockchain, Ethereum’s platform is designed to run code rather than just account for coins.

With that in mind, Ethereum can be used to do a range of things. It can be used make multiple unique cryptocurrencies, to do any type of contract, and even be used to create/store blockchain-based apps.

This can result in unique tokens/cryptocurrencies that aren’t Ether (but use the Ethereum network) like Augur, Golem, Aragon, etc, traditional contracts like insurance contracts (“contract” is a term that encompasses many things here; it goes beyond just basic contracts), and even software (like a Minecraft like game that is now hardcoded into Ethereum’s blockchain; a DApp).

With all that said, let’s go over some more Ethereum facts to move beyond what we have covered already:

    FACT: Ethereum-based tokens can be traded for Ether on the EtherDelta token exchange. This is useful for trading new tokens from ICOs as soon as they launch.
    Stoked on Ether yet? If not, check out this list of reasons to buy Ether.
    TIP: Ethereum is the system, ether is the token, despite this… most people refer to all of this as ethereum and use the terms ether and ethereum interchangeably.
    DID YOU KNOW? You can actually create your own token right now (via tokenfactory).
    FACT: Ethereum initially launched as an ICO. Meanwhile, many ICOs use the Ethereum network.
    FACT: Ethereum currently uses a Proof of work model of mining, but they are switching over to Poof of Stake. Learn more.
    FACT: Another name for a cryptocurrency is “token.” Ethereum’s native token is called “ether.” Ethereum’s “ether” token trades under the symbol ETH and it is what most people think of when they think of Ethereum. Learn more about ether from ethereum.org.
    TIP: Developers can “fork” off the Ethereum blockchain and create their own tokens (these may have different names in practice, for example KIN). Meanwhile “ethereum classic” is the original ethereum cryptocurrency. Ethereum classic still trades on cryptocurrency exchanges and can be used as cryptocurrency. A new investor probably just wants ETH (Ethereum’s ether) and a digital wallet like MyEtherWallet (or a coinbase account with a built in Ethereum wallet).[8]
    FACT: Ethereum is a popular choice for ICOs due to its capabilities. About 1/2 of ICOs use ether-based coins.

Ethereum is the queen of crypto currency. It is so popular now. Maybe It is the reason why makes ethereum special.

In my opinion, what makes Ethereum special is Ethereum is widely used to exchange tokens and smart contract platforms. Currently Ethereum is a good and very popular coin, its position is right under Bitcoin.

Yes I agree that ethereum is special because it s easy to use and convenient. It is also has exchange tokens and smart contract platforms.
