Are you looking to invest in a cryptocurrency that has the potential to reap high levels of profits? Do you want to know more about the technology that could convert centralized systems across thousands of services into open source, decentralized networks? This technology is Ethereum, and it is one of the most talked about crypto-technologies of the moment, alongside its currency, known as Ether. This book is going to provide you with everything you need to know about Ethereum and whether it is worth investing in now.

Like many people, I became interested in Bitcoin years ago, when Bitcoin was still relatively new, but hinting at a huge profit margin for those who took the risk and invested. It was after a couple of years playing around on the Bitcoin market that I heard about a new type of blockchain technology, one that wasn’t just a digital form of payment, but one that could support potentially endless different types of applications. Not only that, but it comes with its own currency. This, to me, sounded like a potentially profitable situation, so I decided to dig a little deeper.

Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is still largely unknown to those who don’t keep up with the cryptocurrency world, so the amount of information available is limited or highly technical. Still, it was fascinating and the more I read about Ethereum, the more I began to see its huge potential. And I’m not alone. More and more Fortune 500 companies are investing in Ethereum technology as it becomes increasingly lucrative and poises to change business processes as we know them.
I decided to condense my research and share my knowledge on Ethereum by writing this book. The book is designed for those who are new to cryptocurrency, but want to invest in it or learn more about it, as well as for more experienced traders looking to expand their portfolios. With a 5,000% increase in value in the first few months of 2017, Ethereum is proving to be a profitable currency. Still, as it is so new – it was only launched in 2015 – it comes with many infancy-related risks. It’s partly this that makes it so exciting. This book will help you make your own investment decisions and decide if Ethereum is the right coin for you after weighing up the pros and cons that are presented here.
So far, Ethereum has made me good money and I was lucky to make the investment when I did. However, now is not too late to invest, not by a long shot. In fact, now is the perfect moment to make the most of Ethereum’s infancy and gain potential first-mover advantages. Ethereum’s technology is only at the beginning of its potential growth stages, possibly reaching to dozens of industries and thousands of services. If its technology is adopted the way it is expected to be, Ethereum will enjoy a long and lucrative spot at the top. The profits are ripe for the taking.

The author's explanations (and possibly understanding) of the technology were very shallow and unsatisfactory. For example, it completely failed to give me an understanding of how Ethereum's Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake shift works and why it is so important. The Beginner's Guide to the topic on the website Blockonomi made everything crystal clear and in fewer words. Seeing as PoS/PoW is such a crucial part of the investment thesis for Ether you would think it merited a quality treatment.

However I do think the author gives a decent high-level take on what Ethereum is and that he provides an honest take on the risks/rewards of Ether investing.

Para uma informação apenas, sem detalhes, é uma boa leitura, curta e grossa. Suficiente para pelo menos saber do que se trata. Os impactos do ecosistema Ethereum serão imensos, impossível prever alguma coisa. A ideia é fantástica, e supera a questão de criptocurrency que passa a ser apenas um detalhe em todo o ecossistema. As implicações para os negócios, para a vida do cidadão, para as comunicações, para a relação com serviços de modo geral e bancos principalmente, são imensas. Vale a leitura como informação, mas não espere detalhes, para isso tem que entrar prá valer no assunto.

An excellent primer to start you out on Ethereum. Requires some knowledge of blockchain in general and maybe BTC, since it compares and contrasts the two so heavily. Good crash course, don't wait to read it - it's likely the deeper you dig into crypto and blockchain, the less useful the initial overview this book provides will be.

This is a sales pitch for Ether.

This is clearly a fluff piece, pretending to be in-depth research. It contains vague descriptions of technical topics and glowing support to buy, buy, buy. The title is misleading - this is not ultimate, and it is a poor guide to Ethereum. I read it for free - not worth it.

Quotes:

Investing In Gold Not everyone would associate Ethereum with investing in gold, but that is exactly one of its uses. Using a process developed by Digix, users can use tokens to buy gold on the Ethereum blockchain. How does this work? Using the Digix app, you can exchange either Ether or fiat currency (real-life money) with gold tokens. This gold is linked to the Singaporean gold vault through a complex crypto-code. Whenever the user wants, they can switch their gold tokens for actual pieces of gold without needing to go through an intermediary or paying any large fees. This also opens up the possibility of creating similar processes for all sorts of commodities.

Good but not so technical

A good book for beginners, but I was expecting something deeper about the technology judging by the title. I hope the autor can write a more complete book about the topic, since there’s so much to talk about it.

Short read which is good for anyone looking to read something on the go. Most of the knowledge could be gained from websites and YouTube tutorials. But a nice refresher or first time reading guide.

Too short to be have any depth. Repetition galore.

But as an introduction into Ether and Ethereum it is informative.

A very shallow and non-technical introduction to Ethereum. The only chapter worth reading is how smart contract might revolutionize several major industries.

An absolutely must read book if you want to fill in knowledge gap about Ethereum. Ethereum is a front-runner in this industry.

A great place to start if you want to wrap your brain around the enigmatic Ethereum project. Use as a springboard for deeper learning.
