WTF is Ethereum?

Ethereum is behind many buzzwords like:

β€’ DeFi
β€’ NFTs
β€’ DAOs
β€’ Web 3.0, and much more.

Let's break it down.

Ethereum 101: decentralized code πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅
0. What is Ethereum Technology?

The easiest explanation is that:

@ethereum is a decentralized computer spread across the world that lets people build decentralized apps.

It was invented by @VitalikButerin with Smart Contracts at the core, and ether (ETH) is its Currency.
1. But why do we need Ethereum?

So:

1st we got Bitcoin emerging as a new form of digital money which would operate outside the control of governments.

Years after, people realized that the underlying technology of Bitcoin - the Blockchain - could be used for other purposes..⬇️

WTF are Smart Contracts?

Tech people: "They are the backbone of Blockchain"

Me: "But WTF are they? Why do we need Smart Contracts?"

Smart Contracts 101: simplified explanation πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅
Disclaimer:

If you know already what Blockchain is, then feel free to keep reading.

If not, then read this thread first on Blockchain 101 πŸ‘‡
0. What are Smart Contracts?

The easiest explanation is:

Smart Contracts are simply a few lines of code instructed to run a set of commands according to agreed conditions between two parties.

Instead of being physical contracts, they are digital and live in the Blockchain ..⬇️

To grow on Twitter we have to Engage right?

Still, 98% of people don't know how to do it.

Here are 7 tips on how to engage "the right way" πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅
1. Be kind

More important than just being kind, is knowing how to show kindness.

This is where I use emojis like πŸ˜β€οΈπŸ˜ŠπŸ€—πŸ™

And why?

Because without emojis people never know the type of emotion I want them to feel about what I'm writing.
2. Be polite

You don't have to treat everybody as "Sir" or "Madam".

You don't have to be always asking for "sorry" or saying "thank you" a hundred times.

You can be polite by sending regards, wishing the best or by rooting for someone.

Be conscious about other people's time.

How? By being:

2. Share your journey

I've been sharing my journey since day 1.

Success isn't the goal, growing and sharing is.

Each step further helps someone who comes after you.

People will learn both with your successes and failures.

WTF is Web 3.0? The 2nd thread of the series

Now that we know what Blockchain is, how can we trust it?

How do we guarantee that every "block" in the "chain" is valid?

Blockchain 101: Solving trusting issues πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
Disclaimer:

If you know what Blockchain is, then feel free to keep reading.

If not, then please start here πŸ‘‡

0. The foundation

Trust plays a big role in the Blockchain.

But how do we build trust?

We build trust by having an agreed set of consistent behaviors.

Eg.: if I say "I love my girlfriend", she expects a certain behavior from me.

To be faithful, avoid lying, be friendly...⬇️
