Ethereum is the most well-known altcoin, and it's much more than just another cryptocurrency for many investors and enthusiasts alike. Experts predict Ethereum will increase in value.
Ethereum launched in summer 2015 with the aim of expanding the use cases of blockchain and cryptocurrency to encompass all manner of decentralized applications beyond Bitcoin’s initial scope, from permissionless financial services and crowdfunding to new organizational structures.
After the Ethereum blockchain did away with mining and completed its long-anticipated transition to proof of stake in mid-September the price of Ethereum is predicted to increase.
Ethereum's upgrade could make it more appealing and sustainable for widespread use, but until that happens, experts are waiting to see how investors and companies building their tech on Ethereum's platform respond to the changes.
