Actually, i have been reading up about Ethereum for the past 2 days. And the founder having met Putin and other Russian Gov officials has really skyrocketed the excitement related to Ethereum as it was reported that Russia has created a fork of Ethereum for a nationalised financial system. Apart from that, it has also been in reports with JP Morgan's. Compared to Bitcoin, which has limited usage, Ethereum provides a blockchain platform for various uses, thus it is getting so much of attention..
