I want in on the Ethereum shit but I have no knowledge on crypto currencies. /biz/ always tells me to buy bitcoin but I always avoided it because it seemed complicated. I also tried years ago and didn't understand it.
Firstly what is the difference between bitcoin and ethereum? Is Ethereum something to do with bitcoin or is it a totally seperate crypto currency of its own?
Secondly how do I get a wallet and buy them and all the other basic stuffs?
pls

Oh you...
10/10 thread OP
Well first of all, Ethereum is a seperate and more advanced cryptocurrency to bitcoin. Some call it bitcoin 2.0
You can get a wallet by either downloading the mist wallet beta or by using a paper wallet generated at myetherwallet.com
To buy ETH easily you will need to obtain bitcoin first, use loacalbitcoins to do so quickly.
Then you can use shapeshift.io to convert to ETH quickly or you can sugn up for poloniex or kraken crypto exchanges.

thanks m8
ive decided to just buy a btc and play around with the whole thing to try and understand it.
does it matter what type of wallet you get or are all bitcoin wallets the same?

Blockchain.info wallet will allow you to access your btc from anywhere in the world.
If you have a actual bitcoin wallet on your pc you will be stuck with them on your pc.
Blockchain.info has very good security. I trust them more than i trust myself
this is video helped me get started in understanding it all. Andreas Antonopolous explains how it works very well and is very passionate about the technology.

Lmfao. Has /biz/ turned into one big infomercial? You know damn well what the fuck ethereum is. Every other shitty post on /biz/ is shilling it. You also know damn well where to buy it. Cut the shit.

I've never listened to Joe Rogan before, so I didn't realize what a dumbass he is. Wow.
>>1113778
Definitely get some BTC in case of the happening. But get ETH now for sweet gains.

Suuuure sure. I would believe you if there wasnt a hundred "what is ethereum?" posts in the last couple weeks and another hundred "where do I buy it?". You expect me to believe that there are that many newfags on this small ass board that can't even browse for like a minute without posting? Ethereum is literally every other post and there is at least 10 posts in every Ethereum thread explaining what it is and where to buy it.

Read it all. From there you'll be able to figure out the differences/how to buy on your own.

im a regular /pol/itician
i come here sometimes but usually always avoid bitcoin shills because im a skeptic like you but i decided to give it a bash
i fully understand that there is no way i can convince you im telling the truth because i sound like a shill however i try to justify it
>>1113806
I believe you. I dont think all of these "how do i buy ethereum?" posts are shills. A small number of you are just complete dumbasses who dont know how to use a catalog or read a thread before posting. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
