#BTCvsETH

Bitcoin (BTC) is primarily a decentralized digital currency and store of value, often dubbed "digital gold." Its blockchain is simpler, mainly recording transactions.

Ethereum (ETH), however, is a more versatile platform.

While Ether is also a cryptocurrency, the Ethereum network enables "smart contracts" and decentralized applications (dApps).

This makes Ethereum a foundational layer for Web3, allowing for complex functionalities beyond just monetary transfers, offering a broader ecosystem for innovation.
