FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can buy a fraction of an Ethereum. For example, you can buy 0.01 Ethereum.
Officially, ETH has a minimum fractional number called a Wei. Each Wei equals 0.000000000000000001 ETH (10-18). But the minimum amount you are allowed to purchase is dependent upon your exchange’s minimum limit. Our exchange allows a minimum of $10.
The cost of buying Ethereum can vary depending on where, how, and when you purchase it. Typically, the price is determined by supply and demand in the cryptocurrency market. The price can also be influenced by market sentiment and news about the cryptocurrency. To find the current price of ETH, you can either log in to our website and see the real-time price or check our Ethereum Calculator to see the price of Ethereum in your desired currency.
To store Ether and Ethereum-based tokens, you need software or hardware called a “wallet”. A wallet can be considered like a bank account that is used to store, receive and send money.
Ethereum software wallets are free and you can easily install them on mobile phones (Android and iOS) or PCs (Windows, Linux, and Mac). Some wallets are also web-based and can be accessed with internet browsers (such as Chrome). In contrast, hardware wallets, which are more secure, are physically available and must be purchased from reputable stores. It is necessary to take a backup copy of your wallet so that you can recover your funds if the wallet is deleted, the password is forgotten, or the device on which the wallet is installed is damaged.
There are several options to buy ETH such as cryptocurrency exchanges, Peer-to-peer marketplaces, Ethereum brokers, etc. However, cryptocurrency exchanges are among the most popular ways to buy Ethereum for beginners. You can easily buy Ethereum without any buying fees from our exchange.
Since Bitcoin and Ethereum serve two different purposes, it is impossible to say which one is better than the other. However, it is often said among the cryptocurrency community that Bitcoin is better in terms of security and validity, and Ethereum is better in terms of network performance and speed.
There is no right time to buy Ethereum, as the price is highly volatile and can fluctuate rapidly. Some experts believe that the best time to buy is when the price is low and predicted to rise, while others believe in buying and holding for the long term.
It is always recommended to do your own research, understand the risks, and have a clear investment strategy before buying Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency.
