This is a milestone node, and you can directly use Bitcoin as collateral for loans.
When BTCfi started, Ethereum's collateral could only be done on-chain.
Speaking of Ethereum's advantages, it comes from the SEC acknowledging that it can be used as collateral. When Bitcoin can already be used, and as it gradually gains recognition later on, by the time Ethereum catches up, it may be too late.
If you can use Bitcoin, why bother with Ethereum? From a price perspective, although Ethereum has more room to grow, in terms of comparison, apart from the usable decentralized public chain, there isn't much narrative to tell. Looking back at previous team reforms, foundation reforms, and technological innovations, it seems possible to achieve, but time may not be on our side.
Are you willing to wait for all the good news about Ethereum to materialize, and for it to rise?
