What is Ethereum?
Ethereum was introduced in 2015 by a Russian-Canadian programmer Vitaly ‘Vitalik’ Buterin. It is an open-source platform that utilises blockchain technology to create and execute distributed applications (DApps). Users can create or join so-called ‘smart contracts’ directly without third parties, limiting the possibility for fraud.
Ethereum is commonly used as a name of the associated cryptocurrency, but in fact, Ethereum is the system or network while Ether or ETH is the native currency. Users need to have Ether when they want to execute a certain transaction through the system.

- - Improvements in the Ethereum system in the future.
General factors related to the crypto world:

Although, the price did bounce back within minutes. One trader reportedly made over $1m, thanks to an automatic buy order set at $0.10 through which he purchased more than 3,000 ETH.

What is the Euro?
Officially introduced in 1999 (in 2002 it was introduced in its physical form), the Euro or EUR is the official currency of 19 countries that are part of the European Monetary Union (EMU) and the European Union (EU). The group of countries that use the EUR as their official currency is also known as the Eurozone. There are also countries which are not part of the EU or EMU but, for one reason or another, use the EUR as their official currency (Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, etc). The EUR is one of the most popular currencies in the world and the second-most-traded currency after the US dollar.
Which factors affect the Euro value?
As an official currency of the EMU countries, any adverse or positive changes in the EU economy or the economies of individual countries can result in changes in the EUR exchange rate. Employment rates and job creation can also affect the EUR. Moreover, traders should closely track the monetary policy, which is managed by the European Central Bank (ECB) and watch the economic news release calendar.
Fluctuations in EUR value are also under the influence of the national debt of individual countries as well as their budget deficit. Also, political events and international agreements may drive the value of EUR.
