## What Jamie wrote

This is an article I wish I had written. Ethereum is so much more than Bitcoin. It is an entirely different solution, with much more capability. If you add the ecosystem around it you get an easy 10x expansion of value.

> Ethereum is so much more than a cryptocurrency. It’s a “world computer,” and the “value layer” of the internet. It lets people build apps and products with money baked into the code. If you believe that web3 is going to continue to grow, then you likely believe that over time, Ethereum will become the settlement layer of a new internet. All sorts of transactions, whether they happen on Ethereum, another blockchain, or even Visa, will turn to Ethereum to exchange funds and keep secure, immutable records. A year ago, I wouldn’t have said that. 

This is why I will continue to build up knowledge and capital in Ethereum. It feels like the very early days of the web, when [Mosaic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_(web_browser)) was still in beta.
