I heard about ethereum in 2015 when it was priced $8. However, back then I was not interested in acquiring ethereum. I was more focused on acquiring bitcoins. However, soon bitcoins value increased and it was beyond my reach. Therefore, I began talking interest in altcoins like ethereum, which was priced less than bitcons, yet had a high potential to gain value over the time. I began acquiring ethereum when coinbase, my bitcoin wallet also started providing ethereum wallet.
