Ethereum
The Ether is the second most valuable cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. Vitalik Buterin created it in 2015. It goes above and beyond by being more than just a cryptocurrency. It is also a platform that developers use to create decentralized apps and smart contracts. The Ether is the native currency and original purpose of Ethereum.
It is also a great platform for launching ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) for other blockchain projects. They have a transaction speed that lasts seconds, which is fast compared to Bitcoin’s 10 minutes. Ethereum has just one coding language (Solidity) which is a barrier for developers who want to enter.
The prices for Ethereum have been more stable than bitcoin. They crash but they do so steadily. With a market cap of $77.5 billion, it is second only to bitcoin.
