Ethereum is usually discussed as a coin. This book treats it as infrastructure: a settlement layer on which stablecoins, tokenized assets and automated agreements already move real value every day. The Programmable Settlement begins with the fragility of a debt-driven monetary system, then explains in plain language how Ethereum works, how it evolved from its founding to the shift to proof of stake, and how ETH issuance, fee burning and staking shape its supply. Later chapters compare Ethereum with Solana, Avalanche and other platforms, show how to read on-chain metrics, review analyst price scenarios and set out practical strategies such as dollar-cost averaging, long-term holding and risk limits. Written for the curious individual investor who wants a reasoned, long-horizon view rather than a trade of the week.
