If you’re looking to invest in Ethereum, there are a few things you need to know. First, Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of fraud or third party interference.

These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property. This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middleman or counterparty risk.

Second, Ethereum is still experimental and faces many challenges. While we believe that Ethereum has tremendous potential, it remains unproven and largely untested.

As such, investing in Ethereum now may be a high risk investment.

Third, you should only invest money that you are willing to lose. We cannot stress this enough: investing in Ethereum is risky and you should only do so with money that you can afford to lose.

Fourth, if you’re looking to invest in Ethereum, you need to have a good understanding of how the platform works and the risks involved. We recommend that you take some time to learn about Ethereum before investing any money.

Fifth, there are many different ways to buy Ether (the unit of currency for the Ethereum network). You can buy Ether with fiat currency (like USD or EUR) or with cryptocurrency (like BTC or ETH).

There are also many different exchanges where you can buy and sell Ether. We recommend that you do your own research to find the best exchange for your needs.

Finally, we would like to reiterate that investing in Ethereum is risky and you should only do so with money that you can afford to lose.
