Crypto Expert Offers His Advice On ETH
The real issue is whether or not these currencies will continue to increase after they are owned, Jeremy Schneider, the Personal Finance Club’s investment guru, said.
“No more than 5% of your whole portfolio should be held as Ethereum due to the lack of assurance that its value will rise,” Schneider said.
According to the investment expert, people shouldn’t invest if they don’t achieve their financial goals such as paying down high-interest debts or planning for retirement.
Like Bitcoin, Ethereum has its blockchain, maintained by a global network of over 2.4 million computers known as “nodes.” Anyone with the required hardware, skills, and time may run an Ethereum node and contribute to network validation.
The Ethereum network’s miners find new blocks. They are similar to digital boxes which store data such as transaction information.
Miners compete by utilizing specialized computer equipment to be the next person to add a block to the chain and collect transaction fees (from the transactions they add to the block) as well as “block rewards.”
