Ethereum vs. Ether: What’s the Difference?


Ethereum is a blockchain platform that is, in its own words, “a global, decentralized platform for money and new kinds of applications.”

Many people in crypto talk about "buying Ethereum," but it’s important to understand that when you buy ETH, that means you own Ether (not Ethereum).
