#BTCvsETH

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are the two leading cryptocurrencies, but they serve different functions. BTC is primarily a "digital gold" and a store of value with a limited supply of 21 million coins, making it deflationary. BTC transactions are relatively slower, taking about 10 minutes per confirmation.

In contrast, ETH is a platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). ETH has a theoretically unlimited supply, but with a "burn" mechanism, it can be deflationary. ETH transactions are much faster, taking only seconds.

In investment, BTC is often considered a long-term asset and hedge, while ETH offers growth potential from its ecosystem innovations (DeFi, NFT). Both have high volatility, and the best choice depends on your investment goals and risk tolerance.
