#BTCvsETH

Both operate on blockchain technology with a focus on decentralisation.

Bitcoin is primarily a store of value, while Ethereum is functional, enabling the execution of applications and smart contracts.

Bitcoin uses Proof of Work (PoW), while Ethereum transitioned to Proof of Stake (PoS) in 2022 for faster and more energy-efficient processing.

Bitcoin is often described as ‘digital gold’ and Ethereum as ‘digital silver’.

Bitcoin is seen as a decentralised value store and less volatile, as well as known for its fixed supply.

Ethereum, with more functions, has higher transaction activity, greater adoption rates, and adopted the PoS system.
