以太坊是什么货币,合法吗？

以太坊是合法的。

The courthouse is legal.

有人质疑以太坊不是合法的，可以肯定的是以太坊不是骗局，它只是在个别国家不被接受。之所以推出时间不长就迅速普及，最主要的原因之一就是其底层技术，以太坊规则可以通过使用代码和智能合约表达的方式来编知哗写，因此也被外界称为“世界计算机”。
拓展资料:
1、以太坊（英文Ethereum）是一个开源的有智能合约功能的公共区块链平台，通过其专用加密货币以太币（Ether，简称“ETH”）提供去中心化的以太虚拟机（Ethereum Virtual Machine）来处理点对点合约。
2、以太坊的概念首次在2013至2014年间由程序员Vitalik Buterin受比特币启搭清行发后提出，大意为“下一代加密货币与去中心化应用平台”，在2014年通过ICO众筹开始得正昌以发展。
3、截至2018年2月，以太币是市值第二高的加密货币，仅次于比特币。

一、以太坊的发展与主要功能
以太坊是加拿大籍人Vitalik Buterin提出的概念，其发行的代币（或称其为加密数字货币）称为ETH。2014年7月，以太坊基金会通过ICO的形式筹集了大约31000个比特币，市值在当时高达约1800万美元。所募集的比特币用于以太坊生态系统的建设。以太坊是一个去中心化应用的开发平台，其将区块链和智能合约结合，被称为区块链2.0。据CoinMarketCap的统计数据表明，截止到2018年5月，以太坊的市值在700亿美元左右；在其价格最高时，市值高达近1400亿美元。在加密数字货币行业，其市值仅次于比特币，长期稳居第二的位置，影响力巨大。以太坊经过4年的发展，其代币ETH具有以下几种功能：第一，基于以太坊平台进行技术开发所需要的燃料；第二，商家接受的“货币”支付方式；第三，二级市场上的投机；第四、投资者购买ETH参与其它ICO项目的募集代币活动，用其和其它代币进行置换。

One of the main reasons for this is that it is not legal, but that it is not accepted in individual countries. One of the reasons for its introduction is that it is fast-tracked, with the bottom technologies, which can be documented by using code and smart contract expressions, and is thus referred to as the “world computer.”
