Vitalik Buterin

admitted the dominance

of Bitcoin in the crypto industry

Buterin also acknowledged that Bitcoin outperforms Ethereum in some aspects: ease of coding, fewer protocol changes, number of nodes, and its lesser dependence on remote procedure call services or RPC, such as Infura, Alchemy, or Ankr.

Other experts in the crypto industry agree with this. The Bitcoin model maintains significant advantages, considering that its codebase is less complex, allowing for secure and reliable BTC transfers. At the same time, the Ethereum code is more complex due to smart contracts and the EVM.

Unlike Ethereum, which has undergone about 20 major network updates, including the latest Pectra update on May 8, Bitcoin has had significantly fewer protocol changes compared to its original model.
