You probably still remember the bitcoin virtual currency that generated a variety of polemics in various countries. Now bitcoin has a rival, a virtual currency called Ethereum whose value jumped dramatically to 1,000 percent in just three months.

Large companies in finance and technology such as JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, and IBM also helped highlight the existence of Ethereum. They call Ethereum a Bitcoin 2.0.
