Research Aim: Ethereum has grown rapidly over the years. Since the birth of bitcoin, every cryptocurrency that has entered the market has been labelled as a copy of the former. However, every currency has its own way of working and its own set of protocols. This research will assess the growth of Ethereum and also assess how the currency has evolved. The research will also discuss the currency’s current performance and how it might play a huge role in shaping the economy in the future.
