#BTCvsETH (ETH):
Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency, created as a decentralized digital currency to store and transfer value without a central authority. It’s often called “digital gold” for its role in preserving wealth. Ethereum, while also a cryptocurrency, is a smart contract platform enabling decentralized applications (dApps) and DeFi services. BTC focuses on security and scarcity (21 million max supply), while ETH emphasizes programmability and innovation. Ethereum is faster and evolving (e.g., with proof-of-stake), while Bitcoin remains more stable and conservative. Both are leaders in the crypto space but serve different purposes: Bitcoin for value storage, Ethereum for application utility.
