Is Ethereum a private company?
Most people know that Ethereum is a public blockchain network that transacts billions of dollars in value. Many of these private, permissioned Ethereum instances are separate from the public chain, though they have an option to bridge to data or value on the main public Ethereum network.
What exactly is ether?
Ether is the solution to the issue of payment—a digital asset-bearer like a bond or other security. You can call it the cryptocurrency of the ethereum network. Just like cash, it doesn't require a third party to process or approve transactions.
Can I invest in ether?
Like Bitcoin, investors can buy and hold ether as a long-term investment, with the hope that its value will continue to increase over the long-term. But as with any cryptocurrency investment, the price of ether is likely to see plenty of ups and downs, especially in the short-term.13 Jan 2022
