I’ve recently discovered Ethereum - more than a cryptocurrency, it is a general-purpose Turing-complete blockchain-based platform for hosting decentralized applications. I had been waiting for something like Ethereum for more than two years, after I realized that the potential of Bitcoin was limited by its inherent weaknesses in term of mining, centralization and incentive structure.

I had promised myself to seize the next blockchain-based opportunity, and I feel that Ethereum could be it.

But its complexity makes it difficult to grasp, so after quite a bit a research I decided to make a video of what I found to help me understand and price Ethereum.
