Ether Trivia

ETH, a.k.a, Ether is a cryptocurrency (or “digital fuel”) that helps run the operations of Ethereum, a decentralized blockchain-based platform. Ethereum is the brainchild of Vitalik Buterin, who presented its whitepaper at the North American Bitcoin Conference in 2014. Major use cases of Ethereum are smart contract execution, building decentralized apps, and autonomous organizations.

While Bitcoin has a hard cap of 21M Bitcoins, Ether does not have a similar limit. Of the ether that does exist, 60M was purchased by users in a 2014 crowdfunding campaign. Another 12M was donated to Ethereum Foundation. 19M Ether, at most, are mined per year. 5 Ether are created roughly every 12 seconds, whenever a miner discovers a block, or a bundle of transactions.
