ETH: Created in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin for smart contracts & decentralized apps (dApps).

Both use Proof of Work (PoW) originally, but Ethereum transitioned to Proof of Stake (PoS) with the Merge (2022), improving energy efficiency.
BTC remains the most secure network, built to be a store of value.

BTC has a fixed cap: 21 million coins.
ETH has no hard cap but now has deflationary mechanisms (EIP-1559).
6/ ⛓️ Development & Ecosystem
BTC evolves slowly, focusing on stability.
ETH is constantly upgrading – like sharding & Layer 2 scaling.
7/ 📊 Market Status
BTC is still the #1 by market cap, seen as the original.
ETH is #2, but many believe it will flip BTC in the future due to utility.
