Bitcoin vs. Ethereum

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

My online world is rife with cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin being the most popular while other altcoins like Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Iota are struggling to grow in market cap.

People have begun to compare Ethereum as a worthy competitor of Bitcoin. I am trying to tell you about the similarities or differences between Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Bitcoin appeared in 2009 leading the cryptocurrency world, while Ethereum became known in the digital world in 2015.

Although Ethereum is not as established proven as its predecessor, it possesses some attractive features which show that it has more potential than Bitcoin in some particular areas.


If you are looking for the most successful digital currency to use as a store of value, then Bitcoin takes the lead. It is by far the most valuable digital coin in the world being more popular, recognized, and acknowledged compared to other cryptocurrencies, and this makes it easier to purchase, resell and store.

Ethereum is the second most popular and recognized cryptocurrency, after Bitcoin.


From my point of view Ethereum is more likely to become number 1 cryptocurrency from all points of view. Let me tell you why I think so:

  • The fees per transaction are lower than bitcoin's fees;
  • Ethereum allows you to create digital tokens(those can be use to represent virtual shares, assets);
  • Bitcoin average blocktime is around 10 minutes while Ethereum has a blocktime of only 12 seconds;

I would really love to see Ethereum accepted on each store. Paying with Ethereum is fast, secure & very low fees. Let me give you an example. You want to drink a coffee on 23th January 2046. Would you pay $5 for a coffee and $10 fees?

Of course we will never know what will happen in future, who knows? Maybe we will pay our coffee with Steem!

Hello @jwolf
Every time your blog is the best. Regarding this post the #BTC is more bright in 2018 and become more up level 50k. But now a day its not stable. I hope #BTC increases but #Ethereum stand stop not up level and also its crypto market / block chain position not so good.
I attain the one in question happening many times its much as vibrate inject. #BTC has mature exponentially inside a few days, prior to cursory Ecompetentum and turning into the second one barter cap subsequently #Bitcoin. But I trouble not to establish cool division a coins in the direction of through to it.
Let c what is become in 2018 crypto.
Keep sharing

Bitcoin future is bright.

Excellent article, thanks for sharing.

bitcoin will nail the show until the other alts/usdt trades start. money will flow more and more into crypto. if you call it a bubble thats fine. but remember dot.com bubble is 10 trillion ( after that it made a break out). crypto is just 570billion still too young

thanks for best information! bitcoin top level work.

Cryptos will rock the world !

Yes i do agree with your thought it's transaction time is very less than BTC and it performs quickly while BTC take some time for sure.
One thing was new for me to learn
