Most of people think of Ethereum as a cryptocurrency. Something I can have in my wallet and send to you as a value. But first of all Ethereum is a powerful tool for creating decentralized applications: smart contracts.

And again most of people think of smart contracts as something computer related just for geeks been crazy digging in the code. That’s because they think it is very complicated and very far away from our real life.

Hence there are a lot of projects using ETH which aim is to create some products that will lead to Ethereum mass adoption nevertheless they are still too far from ordinary people’s lives. That’s why in this article I want to tell you something will change a way of your thinking about this #2 cryptocurrency in the world.

At Etherbox.io we want to create a community of people who are not only cryptocurrency traders or miners or coders. We want to build a community of people who will use ETH in their real lives just like they use their Visa or Mastercard.

And here is the list of benefits we want to show to you:

The first benefit of using Ethereum is of course a store of value. From the price of $2.83 in August 2015 it costs almost $170 today (May 2019) with a peak value of $1300. And that is just a start. The best way to use this benefit is just to buy ETH at some exchanges (for example at Binance) for maximum 10% of your monthly income and don’t look at the price valuations caused by the dirty manipulations.

The second benefit of using Ethereum is a cross border extra small fee money transfers. You can send ETH to any person in the world who has just a ETH wallet at their smartphone or desktop from $1 to $100 000 000+ and pay a very small commissions for that transfer. Nobody can stop this transfer or freeze your money: it’s all in your hands.

The simplest way to get a free ETH wallet is to install a MetaMask extension to your favorite browser. What you should do is to write down your mnemonic phrase and store it very well. Because if you’ll forget it you can forget about your money :( And what you must never do is telling your mnemonic phrase (or your wallet secret key) to anyone who ask for it for any reason!

The third benefit our community will get is a cashback from shopping at world’s largest marketplace — Aliexpress. Launched in 2010 it gives you an opportunity to shop online and buy any goods from China suppliers from all around the world with mostly free shipping. Every EtherBox member who will buy any item from Aliexpress will get a cashback in ETH once they will get that item from shipping company and confirm it at their personal dashboard at Aliexpress.
