My brave Ethers holders, only we know how hard it has been to hold on in these two years of limited growth compared to BTC cancer. But things are about to change, soon the price of Ether will reflect its true value and we will all be rewarded for our foresight and ability to imagine a better future. Here are a number of reasons why we're all going to make it. Feel free to add more. We will make it, it's just a matter of time:
> Almost all the tokens in the top 100 can be found on Ethereum (including all the stablecoins that matter) > Decentralized finance, crypto-games and all sorts of experimentation takes place on Ethereum > Ethereum enterprise alliance > New Ether tokenomics with Eth 2.0 (reduced issue, EIP 1559 introduces fees burning) > Many other improvements in the near future with ETH 2.0 (mandatory to mention solving the problem of transactions per second and user experience in GAS payment) > Staking > Hundreds of thousands of developers are working on Ethereum to gain a prominent position in what will be the standard blockchain of the future > IPFS, ENS and all the WEB3 stuff. > Last but not least, Ethereum is the platform chosen for integration on Reddit, one of the most visited social networks in the world. Imagine what will happen if other platforms do the same
How do I get into Ethereum? Is there a simple piece of software I can download like with Bitcoin? I can't seem to find one. I found something called MEW but it seems web-based. I just want a client app like with my other cryptos.

>Indirectly, the Bitcoin 2020 halving is about to pull it up, along with the rest of crypto >A large % of ETH will be locked up for an indefinite amount of time (12-24 months approx) during phase 0 staking and unable to be dumped/sold. If you keep your ETH liquid you can sell during this period while price rises. If you stake, you'll earn 5-20% rewards according to devs. >The fee burning EIP 1559 has been introduced and will likely be implemented >A continuing stream of good news will pump the price with each upgrade dropped and rolled out in phases: 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 >The total supply to the market has been confirmed to be cut in half to 2 million ETH per year, so inflation will be approx 0% or even at deflation with fee burning >Most importantly, Ethereum has already won. Bitcoin is being used now as an investment. Ethereum is an investment and everything else for crypto. The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance has JP Morgan, Microsoft, Intel, E&Y, AMD and tons of other huge companies. They are all using Ethereum for their blockchain programs and are going to be pouring money into R&D. entethalliance.org/members/
Cons: >You have to wait before this begins and starts to snowball
I don't see a download link. Just pages linking to other things programed with Ethereum and a list of wallets - all of which were browser extensions or for smartphones/tablets. They all seemed third party as well.
How can I just get "the" Ethereum wallet for Windows?

>Pros: >>You have to wait before this begins and starts to snowball FTFY, we’re actually blessed with a bit more time to accumulate
Jonathan Perez
Metamask or hardware wallet
John Lopez
Is there one that's a standalone app, not a browser extension?
Charles Butler
A few years ago I used a certain exodus wallet that you can download from here: exodus.io.
Now I use a hardware wallet and I feel much more comfortable with it.
Jose Morales
mist wallet
Ryan White
>Now I use a hardware wallet and I feel much more comfortable with it. Wow I never knew about these - they seem good, and probably gives the platform more utility than BTC. I'll probably get one in the future but ill try for now.
Leo Gonzalez
Apparently this is deprecated. Why is getting Ethereum so bizarrely convoluted? I just wanted to download a wallet app, go to an exchange, but some ETH and Bob's your uncle.
Blake Jones
Just go to myetherwallet and make one
Josiah Bell
An online wallet? How likely is it to get hacked?
Austin Thomas
>only we know how hard it has been to hold on in these two years of limited growth Jokes on you, I just converted from link to eth, comfy
Justin Williams
I think it still works, but if you're worried then your best bet is a multi crypto wallet like Exodus, or you can check out mycrypto wallet (mycrypto dot com) it's an open-source desktop wallet but I never tried it so can't vouch for it.
Jordan James
If it doesn't snow ball or if it dips from here I'll just buy more. I have no problem with that.
Mason Diaz
Weird BTC seems so much more complicated and stupid to me lol. "Segwit", "Legacy wallet", "Lightning network". I don't know the difference and don't care. Btc will be in the trash soon.
Based movie
Landon Ramirez
>Btc will be in the trash soon. I agree. I just sold mine. Over 2 hours ago and the transaction is still "unconfirmed". This shit is obsolete.
Carson Wilson
shut up, layer 2 go back to work
Hunter Edwards
It's just a frontend to generate the keys You can use it offline as well. There's a GitHub page where you just download it and use it without ever connecting to the internet
Parker Adams
Ethereum is the ultimate shitcoin.
Thomas Lewis
2 hours is not that much for btc desu, bitcoiners recommend doing everything offchain with lightning.
Aiden Gonzalez
Then what do I do with these keys? Are they the same as wallet addresses? Also if you don't connect to the internet how are transactions made?
The more I look into Ethereum the more needlessly complicated it seems. I just don't get it at all.
Blake Diaz
What the fuck, are you retarded? Ethereum is straight forward. You got a wallet address and the private key that belongs to it, same as in Bitcoin. The difference is that you don't have UTXO but account based transactions as well as there are automated wallets which got some code in it and you can interact with them (so called smart contracts).
Thomas Collins
Wallet address is how you receive shitcoins Private keys prove your ownership of it and that's how you send coins from that address Aka don't ever give the keys out because whoever has them owns the wallet
Elijah Foster
>Also if you don't connect to the internet how are transactions made? Obviously you need to connect to the internet to broadcast a transaction. Key generation and signing of transactions however can and always should be done offline (on a hw wallet or airgapped system) as in any other cryptocurrency. Thats why you can download and run MEW offline, so that your private keys will never be exposed to the internet.
Get some basic knowlegde nigger. The absolute state of biz :(
I just got Exodus and, finally, something that resembles the crypto experience I'm familiar with.
My experience goes: >download the official app of the currency >wait for it to sync to the network (which may take weeks >then you can start creating addresses with which to send and receive funds, all through the app
Until now nothing I found resembled this process - sorry if that makes me retarded.
