Where does Ethereum come from?
Ethereum was first mentioned in 2013 in a whitepaper by Vitalik Buterin, the developer who was working on Bitcoin at the time.
Buterin believes that Bitcoin should be made easier "adjusted". He believes that Bitcoin should be used further than simply as a wealth store and the smart contract feature can be used to automatically determine when payments are made, for example. This project is not for Bitcoin, therefore Buterin created Ethereum in 2014 for this purpose.
Ethereum is a pioneer known as an initial coin offering (ICO), sold to an initial investor of about 60 million token Ether while the project is still under development. This is a great journey to develop and continue to promote the Ethereum ecosystem while paying fees for the legality and development sphere.
Since then, Ethereum has grown rapidly. Several other projects have been launched, and the development of the Ethereum platform begins, with varying degrees of success.
