#BTCvsETH

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are leading cryptocurrencies with distinct purposes. BTC, launched in 2009, is a decentralized digital currency focused on store-of-value and peer-to-peer transactions, using proof-of-work for security. Its fixed 21 million coin supply drives scarcity. ETH, launched in 2015, powers the Ethereum blockchain, enabling smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). ETH’s supply is uncapped, with proof-of-stake since 2022, prioritizing energy efficiency. BTC’s market cap dominates, but ETH’s versatility fuels DeFi and NFTs. Price volatility affects both, with BTC often seen as "digital gold" and ETH as a tech-driven ecosystem. Their futures hinge on adoption and regulation.
