#BTCvsETH Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are the two titans of the crypto world, but they serve very different purposes and have distinct strengths:
Bitcoin (BTC)
• Purpose: Designed as a decentralized digital currency and store of value— often called digital gold.
• Supply: Capped at 21 million coins, making it deflationary.
• Consensus Mechanism: Uses Proof-of-Work (PoW), which is secure but energy-intensive.
• Use Case: Primarily used for peer-to-peer transactions and as a hedge against inflation.
• Market Dominance: Holds nearly 50% of the total crypto market value
