We can appreciate how much of a challenge learning new subjects can be. In the case of learning about crypto, the task can be daunting.

For this podcast episode we share the places we have gone to learn about the technology and fine print associated with cryptocurrency.

By no means is this an "end-all be-all" of crypto learning information. But a starting point...who knows, we may be working on something more. To help put learning about crypto into layman's terms.

We sit down to talk about Ethereum $ETH.

In full disclosure, we mine Ravencoin as one of the coins we offer at Fort Brox. But convert it to $XNO so keep gas fee's down 😉

We take a look at the PROs and CONs, what is possible, the journey to ETH 2.0 release and so much more.

*** from ethereum.org ***

Ethereum is the community-run technology powering the cryptocurrency ether (ETH) and thousands of decentralized applications.

Ethereum is open access to digital money and data-friendly services for everyone – no matter your background or location. It's a community-built technology behind the cryptocurrency ether (ETH) and thousands of applications you can use today.

Ethereum 101

Ethereum is a technology that lets you send cryptocurrency to anyone for a small fee. It also powers applications that everyone can use and no one can take down.

It's the world's programmable blockchain.

Ethereum builds on Bitcoin's innovation, with some big differences.

Both let you use digital money without payment providers or banks. But Ethereum is programmable, so you can also use it for lots of different digital assets – even Bitcoin!

This also means Ethereum is for more than payments. It's a marketplace of financial services, games and apps that can't steal your data or censor you.

***

*Please DM or message us through any of our portals to suggest more info or as questions about Ethereum that we can help to find an answer for.
