What is Ethereum and why are corporations and developers adopting it instead of simply using Bitcoin? In this episode, host Tom Wheelwright interviews Matthew Leising, author of Out of the Ether, to explain how Ethereum works and why it has become the most widely used blockchain platform in the world.

Tom and Matthew walk through the origin of blockchain technology and clarify the key differences between Bitcoin and Ethereum. Instead of functioning only as digital money, Ethereum supports smart contracts, decentralized finance, and business applications that companies actively implement today.

You will learn:

• How Ethereum differs from Bitcoin at a practical level
• Why corporations and developers build on the Ethereum network
• What smart contracts are and how they automate financial transactions
• How blockchain technology is reshaping finance and business operations
• What investors should understand before evaluating crypto opportunities

Matthew Leising shares his firsthand reporting on the founders and builders behind Ethereum and explains how the network evolved from an experiment into a foundational layer of the decentralized economy. Tom focuses on helping investors evaluate technology based on function and use—not speculation.

This topic matters now because businesses, financial systems, and digital ownership models are rapidly changing. Understanding Ethereum helps investors and entrepreneurs recognize where blockchain creates real value and where risk still exists.
