Fuck off faggot
Its "Fun Money" for NEET's and Autists.
Its had a little increase in value recently but it will drop again in the next day or two. I wouldn't buy it right now.
This ted talk does the trick plus some more info below:

Remember most Chinese exchanges and bitFlyer (JP) don't trade ETH yet, even some are confused by ethereum-troll-chain (ETC) thanks to Chandler Goo, Barry Shillbert, and Bobby Lee's litecoin bias (his brother is the creator of LTC), but exchanges can't ignore the opportunity costs in trading fees for much longer or other players will go in and eat their lunch by offering ETH/CNY.
So, that's why I don't worry about buying ETH at $20, or $30 or even $40 when the time comes if the Asian markets haven't jumped in; when they do we'll see some crazy stuff, not to mention: https://np.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/5vraur/so_what_makes_eth_a_good_investment/
Also ETH's trading volume is 1/3 of BTC's but the market cap is around only 1/10, that means ETH is very coiled up and ready to rocket with its stronger than ever fundamentals.

What is Ether?
Ether is the currency used on the Ethereum platform. It can be traded on many of the same cryptocurrency exchanges as other digital currencies and is also used to pay for services needed to use the Ethereum blockchain. Ether (like bitcoin, the USD, or gold) has intrinsic economic value as a scarce commodity. However, unlike bitcoin, Ether is also the resource (described as a “fuel”) on which the Ethereum platform runs. No program can be run on the Ethereum platform without payment of Ether.
Why the fuck is my coinbase not showing eth

It took me some time for it to show up too for some reason; I thought I was the only one. Refresh it in a few min, it will show up.
