Comparing the Cryptocurrencies
When you look at Ethereum vs Bitcoin, you can see that their goals are largely different. Looking at their market statistics, though, the difference is rather small — Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $147.3b while Ethereum’s market capitalization is $84.2b.
Note: market capitalization (often referred to as “market cap”) is the total value of all coins in existence. For example, Bitcoin’s $147.3b market cap means the value of all Bitcoins together is $147.3b.
So, besides statistics, how exactly do Bitcoin and Ethereum match up?
Many beginners in cryptocurrency believe that Ethereum is only as a financial currency, like Bitcoin. This is wrong for many reasons; let’s look at the basics.

Ethereum
Launched in 2015, Ethereum’s blockchain widely known synonym is “Blockchain 2.0”;
Smart contracts program the transactions (which I will explain further in this guide);
Its smart contracts eliminate the need for third parties in many systems, not just financial ones;
It provides a platform to build smart-contract apps (known as dApps);
It provides a programming language, called Solidity, to build the dApps with;
Ether is its currency, it powers transactions on the Ethereum blockchain;

Said simply: scarcity is essential to the utility of money, and a zero-growth terminal money supply represents 'perfect' scarcity — which makes Bitcoin as near a 'perfect' monetary technology as mankind has ever had. Absolute scarcity is a monumental monetary breakthrough. Since money is valued according to reflexivity, meaning that investor perceptions of its future exchangeability influence its present valuation, Bitcoin’s perfectly predictable and finite future supply underpins an unprecedented rate of expansion in market capitalizationbitcoin работать best bitcoin cryptocurrency wikipedia bitcoin cfd programming bitcoin удвоитель bitcoin bitcoin алматы matrix bitcoin
