🌐 Ethereum vs Bitcoin: a mature market with different missions

✏️ Hunter Horsley (CEO of Bitwise) clearly noted: 2025 is not a "battle for the throne," but an era of specialization.

✏️ Bitcoin has become digital gold with a market capitalization of $2.4 trillion, a favorite among institutions and the youth (55% of Americans aged 18-34 want to buy BTC). Its main role is as a store of value.

✏️ Ethereum is a platform for DeFi, NFTs, tokenization, and smart contracts. The network scales through Optimism and Arbitrum, making it accessible and inexpensive.

✏️ Ethereum competes not with BTC, but with Web 2.0 and banks. The tokenization of real assets and DeFi takes it beyond mere speculation.

✏️ The market is moving away from the "CoinMarketCap era" with a race for price and dominance to assessing real utility and niches. Bitcoin is a stable safe, Ethereum is the engine of the new Web3. They are not competitors, but two pillars of crypto. Meme of 2025: "BTC is gold, ETH is the financial internet."
