Ethereum is one of the biggest altcoins on the crypto market. Of the almost $2.24 trillion that portrays the total market capitalization of the 20,000-plus crypto assets, more than 17% is held in ETH. It is a distributed computing network where users can use the blockchain to run dApps and host smart contracts. Ethereum critics point to high transaction fees. However, ETH is here to stay, with thousands of apps and other altcoins powered by its blockchain. #crypto
