Public rules

The code is public, agreements execute exactly as written. Think vending machine versus hoping the cashier gives correct change.

Global

Anyone, anywhere can use Ethereum. No permission needed.

Free access

No credit check, no minimum balance, no account approval. If you have internet, you're in.

Nobody owns Ethereum

Changes happen through open proposals that anyone can participate in. Think community garden versus corporate farm.
