#BTCvsETH

In the world of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) hold key positions; however, their goals, functions, and market dynamics differ significantly.

Bitcoin is "digital gold," created for storing and transferring value with maximum security and transparency. Its main goal is to serve as a reliable store of value, with a limited supply of 21 million coins. Bitcoin dominates in capitalization: today over 56% of the market belongs to it, and 98% of Bitcoin users are in profit.

Ethereum is positioned as a "world computer" — a platform for smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps), NFTs, DeFi, and DAOs. Ethereum has implemented an eco-friendly Proof-of-Stake, which has reduced energy consumption by more than 99%. Its economy is more flexible — fees are periodically burned, which can create deflation.
