Hi! I am a digital artist and I have had a few offers made on my art but they buyer wants to pay with Ethereum. I don’t know much about cryptocurrency and even less about Ethereum so I don’t know if this is a scam or not. Would anyone be willing to help me out?

    One sentence in your whole comment is false: “This database has never been hacked, as Bitcoin.”

    True for Ethereum, false for Bitcoin.

    On Aug. 15th, 2010, an unknown hacker nearly destroyed Bitcoin. The hacker generated 184.467 billion BTC out of thin air, in what has become known as the “Value Overflow Incident”. Satoshi hard forked the chain to remove the 184.467 billion BTC, which is the only thing that saved Bitcoin from dying an early death that day.
