#BTCvsETH

The rivalry between Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) continues to shape the world of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, the pioneer launched in 2009, is often seen as a store of value, the "digital gold", due to its security, scarcity (21 million units), and increasing institutional adoption. Ethereum, on the other hand, goes beyond mere currency. It enables the development of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps), making it essential in the DeFi ecosystem, NFTs, and Web3.

BTC is preferred for its relative stability, while ETH attracts with its innovation, particularly its transition to Ethereum 2.0 with proof of stake (PoS), reducing its carbon footprint. Both cryptos have different but complementary uses and visions, and their dynamics strongly influence the entire crypto market.
