- superhans2 9y agoYou probably mean Ether (ETH), the currency. Ethereum is the name of the platform. One approach is to buy Bitcoin (BTC) instead of ETH, because there are a lot more exchanges to choose from. Then use a exchange service to exchange that BTC into ETH. I used shapeshift before. Be aware of the fees that are usually hidden in the exchange rate.
