Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain with smart contract functionality. Ether is the native cryptocurrency of the platform. Amongst cryptocurrencies, Ether is second only to Bitcoin in market capitalization. Ethereum was conceived in 2013 by programmer Vitalik Buterin.

- If you could download your consciousness and upload it to blockchain, would you do it? It’s a matter of time before humans are able to digitise consciousness and run it on blockchain so you live forever in virtual reality. That’s probably a no brainer for future generations, but assuming it was possible today, would you do it? Why or why not?

- ETH History Hi! I'm doing an essay for university on the financial feasibility of ICOs for funding early ventures and would like to use ETH as a case study. However, I can't seem to find any documents or texts describing the process pre and post ICO. Could anyone point me to some resources that analyse the ETH project from a financial standpoint. Alternatively, is there a better case study for ICOs? Thanks

- Hi all, noob question. there is so much going on with NFT’s and decentrand etc, which use ETH or the ethereum blockchain. I don’t understand why the ETH price is slowly falling. Surely the busier and more trades being made with this currency should increase price? What am I missing?

I was expecting to get 1.57ETH back but when I go to [https://reclaim.ens.domains/](https://reclaim.ens.domains/) and type in the address it says there is nothing to get back? Any ideas? Is it possible this was stolen somehow?

- Trying to code an ETH transfer in HTML for my website. Can anyone help? So firstly I thought it would be necessary to say that I have little-to-no coding experience. This is really my first time being exposed to a lot of these concepts. I found this [bit of code](https://www.ukbitcoinblog.com/general-info/add-metamask-payments-to-any-website-with-just-a-few-lines-of-code/) online. It seems to work almost flawlessly, but I ran into two problems. Firstly- I need to specify the amount of ether being transfered. (I plan on the value being 0.1ETH). I am aware that the code says "// amount: '0xfe'; - add if you want to", but I tried to delete the // and replace '0xfe' with '0.1' and it seemed to have broken the code. Secondly- The transaction seems to operate on the Rinkeby Test Network, and I need some help changing the network to the ETH Mainnet. ​ Thank you all for the help!

- Smart contract wallet may be the key to mass adoption Bc Argent has this features: * No awkward seed phrase * L2 by default (zkSync) * Fiat-on-ramp * Username * Simple UI Currently defi protocol Curve and Unisync (fork of uniswap v2) are live on ZkSync testnet. Matterlabs also has a roadmap to enable privacy on ZkSync Basically Argent is the DeFi version of PayPal but more secure, permissionless, trustless, with a flat-transparent-crystal-clear-innocent fee If there's another Smart Contract Wallet built on L2 and you can bridge funds to ZkSync, then I guess it's just like sending money from Paypal to Cashapp/Venmo/Square Last but not least, according to L2fees, current tx fee on ZkSync is only $0.42, which is still more expensive than other alt L1, but already much more cheaper than most of international/domestc tx on TradFi Western Union: $5 to 70 (Depends on tx amount, finalized in minutes) Commonwealth: $2 to 5 AUD or 3% UBS: $0.3 to 5 CHF Paypal: $0.3 to 4.99 HDFC: 20 INR ~$0.27 Well, it's not as cheap as domestic tx in a developing country, at least for now...

- I have 9604012 eth and cant do anything with it So here's what happened. I transferred approximately 0.4 eth (approx. $900 at the time of purchase) from Trust wallet to a coinbase wallet. So that being from a binance smart chain to a different smart chain, so it got stuck in a black hole somewhere and I've managed to get the contract address and place it in my metamask wallet (smartchain). Once I had placed whatever the asset is/was, it displayed 9604012 eth. It wont allow me to send it to another address and I cant swap it for any other coin such as BNB coin. I'm pretty sure I dont own 9m+ eth coins but I think at the time of purchasing this eth coin in TrustWallet it was some sort of stable coin that's pegged to Eths value. What can/do I do? https://preview.redd.it/byyl2r7u64a81.png?width=456&format=png&auto=webp&s=481914963d70af2ae8b3548bd38cf17559c96b9f PS: Binance and Coinbase were unable to support.

- Location of tokens? Can’t remember after concussion [some reward for the golden tip..]. Hi guys, The problem is the following: I recently had a concussion in an accident and lost some of my short memory... \- Now i have some tokens that are on different places offline but there is one place that seems to be lost or maybe staked or on a place i can't remember because of the accident. I also hold 3 offline backups with all the details of my tokens and is on a place not possible to find by another. I don't have life changing money but some to keep offline and safe tho.. On that backup i got documents with places i have staked and where my tokens are but for some reason i can't find some of them back. The address where i thought my tokens should be are on a Metamask address: 0xcf3EB53084D01168Dcf14D4283F1F72748342cf0 I have checked etherscan, ethplorer, polygonscan to figure out where they could be but can't seem to find my tokens MATIC, UNI, CELR, GRT, LINK... . The strange thing is that on any of the scans it also didnt showed that i staked my VGX token on the VGX site so the tokens could still be somewhere staked or stored. I have for safety sended my VGX tokens to my Ledger Nano already. On the blockchain i have seen that most of my tokens have been sended to: 0x11661c622dC6d4f65497d9B9A91304bDfc408A8F ( Can the origin of this address be find? ) and that they are swapped for wETH on Uniswap or something? I did know a little bit about using Uniswap and Polygon wallet but both seems to be empty. Now i also don't think it's hacked because of the following: \- Metamask was installed on a different laptop only being used for crypto and all the addresses are bookmarked so no ad clicking of phising sites were used. \- Metamask was installed on the official extension of Chrome and the seed was kept offline on a paper. \- The laptop is up-to-date with an Antivirus that didnt scanned for malicious software or any virus. \- The Matic has been moved with first 100 MATIC, 500 MATIC and then the rest. I always send my tokens like this to be sure they arrive well. 100 MATIC, 500 MATIC and then the rest is the way i would do it also. \- The staked VGX was not stolen and was the biggest piece of my money on it. \- In the document i have was stated that my LINK and MATIC were on [app.aave.com](https://app.aave.com/) staked on a Metamask but connected with Ledger. My Ledger goes online only for transactions and is safe. I know i used Aave for staking, lending tokens there ( but only MATIC and LINK ). I think i moved them later on Maybe i forgot some software or location i have staked, stored like the way it was with VGX on their website. I could not find any of that on the blockchain that i found so maybe i overlooked something?I also checked on Ledger Live if any of those token could be there but can't find them there also. Maybe u guys see something on the blockchain i don't? I know there are many places for staking, storing... but i do remember most of them and are also on the documents.. Thanks for any help and be sure to receive quite some USDT if for some reason i could get them back :-).

- Where to invest your cryptocurrencies to get annual % Wandering the depths of youtube, I found a podcast on investing in BTC and Etherium ([https://www.youtube.com/c/InvestAnswers](https://www.youtube.com/c/InvestAnswers)), where you can find a lot of answers to the questions you are asking. I have always been looking for a way to make more of it just by holding crypto. Many people keep their savings in bank funds that give 2% on the amount they hold, but they keep forgetting about inflation rates, which leave you with only a minus as a result. According to [theguardian.com](https://theguardian.com), inflation in the US is 6.8%, which leaves you with an annual rate of -4.8%. The money in the funds is mostly used for loans and other banking matters, meaning that your existing money in the account is always used ​ A platform like [https://celsius.network/](https://celsius.network/) offers loans in cryptocurrencies, but there is another medal you can use this platform as a lender, which is that you deposit a cryptocurrency (Eth, Btc, Bash, Ltc etc.) and you get an annual return of about 6%, a monthly return of about 0.5% and that percentage is paid to you every week on Monday. This gives you the opportunity not only to make money from price fluctuations, but also to make money from a stagnant currency in the long term. One of the ways I use to get extra Eth and Btc. ​ Here's a bit of simple maths so you can see the numbers. By holding $3000 worth of Btc at 7.81% per year, you earn about an extra $243. As I often tell myself, $10 doesn't fly anywhere on earth. Have a nice day ​ Here is a podcast with Celsius Ceo [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUu3WcfssmE&t=467s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUu3WcfssmE&t=467s)

- Reminder: Crypto is Not Here To Make You RICH. Crypto is Here To Make You FREE **Introduction: Opportunity for Wealth in the Cryptoverse** Nowhere else on Earth will you find similar types of gains in the cryptoverse. It is a fact, that the opportunity for wealth here is so immense that it creates dreams of unprecedented wealth even for those with a common life. Combine this with explosive price actions and hype, lots of attention and adoption are drawn into the space on a regular basis, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in the entire human existence. However, while everybody thinks crypto is the go-to place to make millions, it is also where entire financial life and fortune are ruined and lost. As a nascent space, crypto is warned with a lot of risks, even in a bull market, yet it is intriguing to see people pilling themselves up, thinking this is the only opportunity to escape the rat race and hence better their life. This kind of mentality does make me wonder what the hell is wrong with the current world we are all living in. ​ **The Reality of The Current System** The truth is you can’t blame them. In the legacy system, so much wrongs are to be found that clouded their ability to judge and search for opportunities. People are enslaved to the system, both in the physical and in the digital world. They live most of their life in accordance to the work and spend cycle, conforming and following the exact same path of life as everybody else under the promise of security and happiness. In exchange, they have to give up their freedom to those who stay in the highest positions of power. Either by forces or by influences, every human society trends toward a structure with a few in control of the majority. While this is natural to the existence of human beings, it is also what creates much of the sufferings and injustice we see throughout all human history. Being power-hungry and driven creatures, we form hierarchical structures to ensure the best cooperation between each other, yet when societies and networks expand beyond our consciousness, power tends to overconcentrate in entities that then often become corrupted, oppressive and unaccountable. ​ **Centralization of Power and Human Nature** Reflecting on this, we can see the same presence in some of the strongest nations in the world today. When power is abused by a centralized entity, someone must suffer. If not those at the top, the price will have to be paid by those at the bottom, and this is often the case. We see this time and time over again, with the final fate of most society leading towards intolerance, civil war and eventually the collapse of the entire system. The same can be said to the digital society today, though the difference is those in positions of power are untouchable and divine. They play the role of Gods, influencing the lives of millions and billions each year without us having a voice-over, yet we all have come to accept it because we have no other choice. Despite all of these, people are still chasing the same damn things that make them slaves in the old system. Thinking by somehow riching off from crypto or any new innovation will make them more free and live more comfortably. This is only a delusion painted by the lies of consumerism and power-hungry culture. In a centralized system, you are neither free nor rich, you are either the few powerful or the majority powerless. ​ **Faith in The New System** Understanding this is the first step in understanding why the world of crypto is so disruptive and why the opportunity for wealth here is so real. Wealth does not magically exist. It comes with and from people who came collectively with the same mindset, same vision and set out to do the same goal: to make a difference in the world, to build something that breaks away from the power structure of the legacy system and to create a place where fairness and freedom lie at the heart of the system. Crypto was never made to make you RICH. Crypto was made to make you FREE. This is the vision of Satoshi for what a decentralized, trustless, permissionless and censorship-resistant system would bring to the future of humanity: A world where we all have a choice, to either give away control of our life to someone else or be the one who dictates our own fate. Many of us realized we do not need banks, institutions and corporations to be our responsible. Many of us realized we do not need centralized entities to tell us what to do and what not to do with our life. Many of us realized that we can decide things for ourselves, and that is something we are not offered in the current system. With crypto, we have A CHOICE, and as there exists a demand for having this choice, the market responds with growth and opportunity to where it is offered. ​ **Becoming Successful In The Cryptoverse** Understanding this is crucial to becoming successful in the space. Those who do not stick around will never win big or win at all because their minds are still plugged into the old system. The biggest winners of the space are those who understand the value proposition and turn themselves to this beautiful vision and dedicate their lives to make it a reality either through long-term capitals, through their voices and their words or through their own hands. Without courage, there is no freedom. Without freedom, there is no opportunity. What is offered as protection in the centralized world is in disguise of restriction, to limit the rate of innovation and revolution that are happening through crypto. They will doubt our success and they will question our authenticity to change the world. But we show them why we are better and why we had to be better, and by believing and dedicating to this space, we ultimately win by bringing equal opportunities to all human beings, while expanding the potentials of human kinds instead of limiting them like in the legacy system. ​ **TLDR: Conclusion** Those who understand the purpose of the cryptoverse will ultimately understand the opportunity for wealth that comes with it. And for as long as we, the people, come together to push it into existence, crypto will not be a single opportunity but an opportunity of a lifetime for all of us human beings. Crypto is here to stay. Like what I write? Consider following me on Twitter u/cryptocat1607 for similar philosophical post on the future of blockchain technology.

It seems that these information is hard to get as most sites only limit on very superficial information. 1. What does an NFTs dataset in ethereum looks like? What information is stored exactly in the blockchain? 2. If the content of an image NFT is not stored in the blockchain, how to proof what the image was showing, if the webserver where the images is stored on goes offline?

- Cold storage change for ETH2.0 & layer 2’s Ok, apologies if this comes across as a basic level question but if one were to store Eth on a cold wallet for the long term, what would be the process in the future to then have access to those tokens? I’ve read about Rollups decreasing fees and improving transactions significantly. Basically, is one fine to hodl using current hardware wallets (i.e Ledger, Trezor) as layer 1 fees will only get more expensive. Or am I totally wrong.

- Why Token Economics is different from Economics 101 We provide over 100+ FREE crypto articles on our SubStack! :D (Link on our profile). This is not financial advice. ​ **TLDR**: As markets evolve, the economics governing the markets also evolve. Markets evolve due to technological advancements and new types of resources creation. Intangible resources are a new resource in the space today. Supported by technological advancements, these developments have reshaped the way we understand how markets work and can be designed. **Get smart:** Technology has changed the way economic principles are being applied. The good news is that fundamental economic principles do not change. We just have a new resource to play with now. # General Conclusion Traditionally, economics is the study of how resources are produced, consumed and distributed in a market. Resources are input factors to produce goods or services for commerce. They are factors of production. There are four main resources: labour, land, capital and entrepreneurship. Economics is a “soft science” like psychology, political science and sociology, compared to a “hard science” like physics, biology and astronomy. As our ecosystems evolve due to technological upgrades and increased complexity of human behaviours, the analysis and objectivity in economics evolves with resource evolution. The advent of new economic resources like information as a resource, and technology allowing for interaction between agents, has resulted in new economic fields. Many of the recent Nobel prizes were awarded in recognition of new economic approaches. For example, auction theory (2020), integrating technological innovations into long-run macroeconomic analysis (2018), nudge theory and choice architecture (2017), contract theory (2016), two-sided markets (2014), and market design (2012). # New Economic Resource: Intangible assets The four traditional economic resources are land, labour, capital, entrepreneurship. These are traditional tangible resources. In today’s digital ecosystems, a new resource has come into the picture: information (intangible resource). # 4 Properties of this new resource **Sunk costs:** these are costs that have already been paid for and consumed. Spill-overs: these are additional effects that can be both positive and negative. This is determined by the secondary impacts and implications related to the intangible assets created. Scalability: this is the ability to expand growth easily. The key feature in an intangible asset is that it has a non-rivalry characteristic. One person’s usage does not reduce the existence of the asset. The asset is also supercharged with “network effects”, a positive spill-over. Two people in two cities can read the same article online at the same time. This is different to an article in a newspaper, where only one person at a time can read the newspaper because they are each in different physical places. **Synergies and complementarities:** these are intangible assets that can produce synergies and complementarities with other assets, enhancing network effects. This helps networks to scale and produce positive spill-over effects, as opposed to substitutability.

- Hacked and Sim Swapped could they have moved my staked ETH 2.0? So as the title says I got sim swapped and my phone taken over due to T mobiles data breach and has SMS as my 2FA. Yes I know it’s dumb and I won’t make that mistake again. Well, I got the account back and I’m just waiting to be reverified to sign in. All I had was staked ETH 2.0. Would that be able to be moved if a hacker got into my account? I couldn’t move it myself to a wallet or anything that I know of. And I guess I’ll find out soon, but any help would be greatly appreciated
