Lesson 1.1: What is Ethereum?

Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform for building smart contracts and dApps. Unlike Bitcoin, it’s programmable, enabling applications like DeFi and NFTs.

• ETH: Currency and gas for transactions.
• Smart contracts: Self-executing code on Ethereum blockchain.
• PoS: Ethereum uses Proof-of-Stake to validate transactions efficiently.

Lesson 1.2: Ethereum Ecosystem

The Ethereum ecosystem includes wallets, exchanges, dApps, and gas fees. MetaMask, Ledger, and Coinbase are examples of wallets/exchanges.

Lesson 1.3: How ETH Works

ETH is used to pay for gas fees and can be traded as currency. Smart contracts automate agreements without intermediaries.

Lesson 2.1: Buying & Selling ETH

Use centralized exchanges (CEX) like Coinbase or decentralized exchanges (DEX) like Uniswap. Always secure your ETH with wallets.

Lesson 2.2: Market Cycles

Ethereum markets go through cycles: peaks, drawdowns, and recoveries. The Fear & Greed Index helps gauge market sentiment.

Lesson 2.3: Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

DCA reduces volatility risk by investing a fixed amount regularly. This ensures buying more ETH when prices are low and less when prices are high.
