Emi Lacapra

Emi has known Bitcoin since 2014 when she received an email to invest in the new digital currency. She cleverly ignored it (ha!) although she was captured by the concept until she decided to invest time and money to become more educated about the technology and the economic implications of the new monetary system. She believes blockchain and Bitcoin will do great things in the future and change the lives of many, for good.

BitCashPay’s Decentralized Liquidity Contribution (DLC): The FIRST in the DEFI World

https://coinfomania.com/wp-content/uploads/Bitcashpay.webp

Ethereum (ticker: ETH, or &#8220;Ether,&#8221; for short) is an open-source blockchain that powers smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Open source, meaning middlemen, like banks, are not needed to create or run programs. Thus, it is often called the backbone of Web3 because it is where most of the action happens in crypto—DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and more. Ethereum, which was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, Gavin Wood, and Joseph Lubin, is different from Bitcoin. It is programmable, which means developers can build applications directly on its network. That is why it is perceived as the foundation of everything from decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms to NFT marketplaces and even blockchain-powered games. Ethereum has come a long way since its early days, with different upgrades, improving security, scalability and the works. One notable fork was The Merge in 2022, moving it from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS)—a shift that cut energy consumption by 99.9% and set the stage for future advancements. The latest news in the Ethereum Foundation is the appointment of Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak as co-executive directors, while former director Aya Miyaguchi has stepped in as president. How does Ethereum work? Ethereum runs on a decentralized network of nodes that maintain the blockchain. Instead of miners, validators—who stake ETH—now secure the network and verify transactions. Central to it is the Ethereum  Machine (EVM), a decentralized computational powerhouse that runs smart contracts. These contracts, written in Solidity, execute automatically—no middlemen, no trust issues, just pure code. For transparency and security, every transaction is put down on a public ledger. With thousands of nodes worldwide, Ethereum remains resistant to central control or attacks—a key reason why it is so widely in use. Ethereum vs. Other Cryptocurrencies Ethereum sets the standard for blockchain-based applications. Bitcoin is great as a store of value and making transactions, but Ethereum&#8217;s strong suite is smart contract functionality. Obviously, newer blockchains like Solana, Avalanche, and Cardano are stepping up the competition, offering lower fees and faster transactions. But Ethereum still leads DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise adoption, and the upcoming Ethereum 2.1 upgrade (with sharding) will handle scalability to keep it ahead of the other blockchains. The Role of Blockchain in Ethereum Ethereum’s blockchain does a lot more than just process transactions. It supports popular token standards like: ERC-20, which is used for fungible tokens (think stablecoins, governance tokens, and DeFi tokens). ERC-721 is the foundation of NFTs, enabling ownership of digital art, collectibles, and more. By removing traditional financial middlemen, Ethereum fuels the DeFi industry, allowing secure lending, borrowing, and trading without banks. Investing in Ethereum Is Ethereum a Good Investment? Ethereum is one of the strongest digital assets out there—a thriving ecosystem with a huge developer community and constant innovation. The move to PoS slashed its carbon footprint and made it greener than before. Plus, Ethereum’s large DeFi, NFT, and Layer 2 ecosystem pumps its long-term value. That said, crypto is well-known for volatility. Ethereum’s price swings are influenced by market trends, regulations, and macroeconomic shifts. For example, ETH has dropped 12.56% in the last seven days, showing that bearish pressure still acting. But the bigger picture looks better. The Ethereum 2.1 upgrade (expected in late 2025) will introduce sharding, boosting scalability and bringing down transaction fees. Add in Layer 2 solutions like Optimistic Rollups and zk-Rollups, and Ethereum&#8217;s congestion issues may soon be a thing of the past. For HOLDLers, these upgrades could be a game-changer, making Ethereum even more competitive. Investment Strategies &amp; Best Practices If you&#8217;re thinking of investing in Ethereum, strategy matters. Here are some tried-and-tested approaches: Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Buying ETH at regular intervals reduces risk from price swings. Staking: Earn passive income by staking ETH while contributing to network security. Diversification: Don’t go all-in—balancing Ethereum with other assets helps spread risk. Long-Term vs. Short-Term Holding Buy-and-hold investors see Ethereum as an essential piece of the decentralized future. They believe it will reshape industries beyond finance. Short-term traders play the price swings for quick gains—high risk, high reward (but not for the regular traders). Legal &amp; Regulatory Considerations Crypto regulations are a moving target. Some countries embrace Ethereum, while others impose strict restrictions. Investors should stay informed about tax laws, compliance rules, and potential legal risks before making big moves. How to Buy &amp; Trade Ethereum How to Buy Ethereum Getting your hands on Ethereum is pretty simple: Choose an exchange – Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, or Gemini are all solid choices. Create an account – Sign up and complete identity verification. Deposit funds – Use fiat currency or other cryptos. Buy ETH – Place an order based on your budget. Transfer to a wallet – Keep it secure in a personal wallet, not just on an exchange. Best Exchanges to Trade Ethereum Ethereum is available on almost every major crypto exchange, including: Binance Coinbase Bybit Kraken Gemini MEXC Global OKX Gate.io Transaction Fees &amp; Trading Costs Ethereum&#8217;s gas fees fluctuate based on network activity. When demand is high, fees can get expensive. Some exchanges also charge varying trading fees, so compare costs before trading.  Ethereum Wallets &amp; Security Best Wallets for Ethereum To secure your ETH, choosing the right wallet is very important: Hardware Wallets (Cold Storage) – Best for security (Ledger Nano X, Trezor Model T). Software Wallets (Hot Wallets) – More convenient but online (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Exodus). Exchange Wallets – Easy to use, but riskier due to potential hacks. Paper Wallets – Highly secure but impractical for daily use. Security Best Practices Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for extra protection. Use strong, unique passwords. Store private keys offline in a secure location. Watch out for phishing scams and shady links. Ethereum Adoption &amp; Future Growth Key Partnerships &amp; Innovations Ethereum is everywhere, powering: DeFi platforms like Uniswap and Aave NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea Enterprise solutions backed by Microsoft and JPMorgan Major upgrades are also coming: Ethereum 2.1 (late 2025): Introducing sharding for better scalability. Layer 2 solutions: Optimistic Rollups &amp; zk-Rollups will make transactions faster and cheaper. Final Thoughts: Ethereum&#8217;s Future Potential President Donald Trump announced that ETH, BTC, XRP, SOL, and ADA will be part of the U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve. This move began a market surge, with BTC surpassing $93,000 and ETH rising nearly 5%. At the moment, ETH is priced at $2,379.39 (CoinMarketCap) as of writing, and forecasts suggest a 21.26% increase, which would take its value to $2,894.68 by April 2, 2025 (CoinCodex).  Despite this projected rise, market sentiment remains bearish, with the Fear &amp; Greed Index at 33, indicating that many investors are cautious about entering the market right now. Ethereum has recorded 40% green days in the last 30 days, meaning it has seen positive price movements 12 times out of the last 30 days. Volatility remains relatively high at 7.98%, signaling that price swings could continue in the short term. The short-term forecast indicates that Ethereum’s price will fluctuate over the next week, with a slight dip on March 6 before rebounding to $2,507.53 by March 8, 2025, marking a 5.08% increase from today’s price. Going beyond the near term, Ethereum&#8217;s performance for the rest of 2025 is expected to be much better. CoinCodex suggests that ETH will trade in a price cap between $2,269.03 and $6,880.35, with a middle price of $4,452.55 for the year. The potential return on investment based on these predictions could be as high as 189.30% by the year-end.  ETH is expected to break past the $3,000 mark in April, eyeing a maximum of $4,297.56, and by May, it could climb to $6,055.70 if the trend continues. The months of August, September, and October could see ETH testing new highs, with potential prices reaching between $5,491.05 and $6,880.35. Pros &amp; Cons of Investing in Ethereum Pros: Strong developer community and continuous innovation. Huge adoption across DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise sectors. Transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) improves energy efficiency and scalability. High liquidity and market capitalization ensure stability. Cons: High gas fees during network congestion. Scalability issues compared to newer blockchains. Regulatory uncertainties in various countries. Potential risks from Ethereum competitors. Community &amp; Developer Support Ethereum has one of the largest known blockchain development communities. Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation continue to support ecosystem growth. The Devcon and ETHGlobal conferences point to ongoing innovations, helping to engage the developer network. Is Now the Right Time to Invest in Ethereum? For quick-profit traders, the current market conditions suggest that ETH is not in a good buying zone, as the bearish sentiment and technical indicators point to potential near losses. Albeit, for growth-focused investors, Ethereum’s roadmap and strong tokenomics make it a solid investment for those willing to wait out volatility.  With the upcoming Ethereum 2.1 upgrade and increased institutional support, Ethereum’s future looks strong. Still, competition and external risks should be considered before making investment decisions. FAQs 1. What is Ethereum?
