Article by King Passive

King Passive shares the basics of Ethereum, how it works and what it is used for in a condensed version of their Full Ethereum Guide.

1. What is Ethereum?

Ethereum can be thought of as a virtual supercomputer.

It’s designed as a platform to host applications that can run without the need for human interference.

These applications are called ‘Decentralized Apps’, and I’ll explain how they work later in this guide.

The cryptocurrency, Ether (usually referred to as Ethereum) is the currency or “utility token” that you pay to use this virtual network.

2. How Ethereum Works.

2.1. Ethereum Blockchain.

Like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Ethereum has it’s own blockchain.

This is like a record of all transactions on the Ethereum network. It’s stored on nodes (computers, miners, etc.) across the world.

However, while Bitcoin’s blockchain just stores transaction records, Ethereum’s blockchain also hosts smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps).

Smart contracts are contracts programmed to run by themselves. In simple terms, this means: If x happens, y results.

(I’ll explain Smart Contracts in more detail below).

The Ethereum blockchain keeps a record of the latest execution of each smart contract.

2.2. How Do Transactions Work?

Transactions, whether they are simple money transfers or executions of smart contracts or DApps, require “gas”.

Gas can be thought of as transaction fees. You pay for gas using Ether.

Transaction fees go to miners (explained below).

2.3. What Is Ethereum Used For?

Since you can program different smart contracts and DApps on the Ethereum blockchain, Ethereum use cases are only limited by the imagination.

This potentially makes Ethereum more useful than single use cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (payments). It’s also led to the coining of the term “Blockchain 2.0” (programmable transactions).

Ethereum’s innovation in this regard has even led to copycats trying to mimic Ethereum’s popularity and success.

Note: Want to see how Ethereum works in the ‘real world’?

Check out section 7 of this guide for some examples.

2.4. ​Smart Contracts.

As mentioned, smart contracts are contracts that are programmed to run by themselves.

So why is this helpful?

Smart contracts can eliminate the inefficiencies often caused by middlemen.

Sources: BlockChainHub & PricewaterhouseCoopers

Smart contracts get rid of middlemen like banks and even service providers like Airbnb and Uber.

For example, banks are usually the ones that give people loans.

Instead of having a bank, smart contracts could be written so that loans are disbursed once certain conditions are fulfilled.

For instance, once you pay your loan amount, funds could be disbursed into your account automatically without the need for a loan collector.

For something like Airbnb, instead of having Airbnb connect renters and landlords, smart contracts could grant a renter access to an apartment once he or she makes a payment.

The examples are endless.

Smart contracts could be revolutionary and have the potential to upend many industries and business models.

​2.5. Mining Ethereum.

When you make a transaction, this transaction is broadcast to the Ethereum network.

Miners verify transactions and group them into blocks (groups of transactions), which are added to the blockchain (groups of blocks or all Ethereum transactions).

The way that miners verify Ethereum transactions is via “proof of work”. However, they are planning to move towards “proof of stake”.

Miners, using their mining devices, such as computers or specialized mining devices, perform computationally difficult work.

Whoever finishes this work first gets to add a new block to the blockchain.

For their efforts, miners are paid in transaction fees (gas paid for in Ether) and newly created Ether (if they finish the work first).

It’s a common misconception that people need thousands of dollars in capital to start investing. The amount of capital you need really depends on the type of investment you seek. For example, if you want to invest in property, you would certainly need a lot of capital. But there are plenty of other options to invest in with much lower volumes of capital.

If you don’t have a lot of money to invest, here are some exclusively low capital investment ideas to consider:

Buy U.S. Treasury Security

Treasury bonds issued by the U.S. government are considered to be one of the best forms of investment in the world. The U.S. is the largest economy in the world and, more importantly, has proven to be remarkably resilient through the years. An American treasury bond, therefore, can become a very lucrative form of investment in the long run.

Treasury securities vary in price, of course. But some are available for as low as $100. These fixed-income bonds can be bought with maturity periods that can be as short as 30 days or as long as 50 years.

The bonds pay off interest on a biannual basis. It’s a great way to earn some passive income with little overhead capital.

Buy Cheap Stocks

Super cheap penny stocks are controversial. But if you buy these the right way, you can turn tiny amounts of capital like a dollar or five bucks into potentially hundreds of dollars. Even a single dollar of pink sheet stock that earns ten dollars is a remarkable rate of return.

The key to finding the best penny stocks is to do your research. It’s important to distinguish between stock that comes from worthless and possibly fake entities and stock that belongs to a small startup with great potential. Don’t assume that all cheap stock is worthless. For example, Walmart and Sirius XM were once penny stocks.

Spend It on Wine

Wine grows in value with age. So a $200 wine bottle today could be worth ten times more in ten or twenty years. This is a great investment option to consider if you know your wines and can keep yourself from draining the bottles stored at home.

Keep in mind that those really cheap sparkling wines sold at supermarkets don’t make great wine investments. Invest in a respected wine label to earn a real return in the future. It would help if you read up on the subject if you are unfamiliar with wine labels.

Join a Crowdfunding Startup

Some startups that crowdfund its capital allow people with even small amounts of money to become early investors. This is a good option to consider as long as the startup promises returns in some form of ownership or cash payments.

Companies that offer a finished product in return for funding are not good investment opportunities (unless you really want the product). If the startup accepts your money with a contract to offer stock, return payments with interest, or any type of cash, then it is worthwhile to consider investing in.

Who says investing requires everything you have saved? When you are down on cash, use the above options to invest in both the long and short-term.
