You’ve signed up. You’ve got some USDT. And now you’re looking at Bitcoin and Ethereum — wondering where to start.
They’re both top coins. They’re both everywhere. But they’re not the same.
Bitcoin is simple:
It was built to be digital money.
No middlemen. No banks. No fancy features.
Just a limited supply (21 million), strong security, and a belief that money should be free from control.
People call it digital gold — and it kind of is. You buy it, hold it, and hope it holds its value.
Ethereum is different:
It’s more like a platform than a coin.
Smart contracts, NFTs, DeFi, apps — all built on Ethereum.
It’s the engine behind a big part of Web3.
ETH isn’t just about holding value. It’s about being part of a system that’s constantly growing and changing.
So which one should you buy?
Both are solid — for different reasons.
Bitcoin is steady, simple, and slow-moving.
Ethereum is active, evolving, and full of possibilities.
You don’t have to pick one. You just have to pick a place to start.
Next up, I’ll tell you how I lost $10 on a memecoin — and somehow learned more than any tutorial ever taught me.
