What is ETH?

Ethereum is a decentralized open-source blockchain system that features its own cryptocurrency, ether. ETH works for execution of decentralized smart contracts and as a platform for a myriad of other cryptocurrencies.  

Ethereum was created by Vitalik Buterin, who first described it in a whitepaper in 2013. Buterin and the other co-founders conducted an online public crowd sale to secure funding for their project in 2014, which proved wildly successful.

Should I buy ETH today?

Ether might remain on an upward trajectory, but trading volumes, active addresses, and other important metrics have decoupled from the soaring value. This indicates an impending bear run according to blockchain analytics firm Santiment. It might be a good time to buy before ether starts climbing again.
