The RAM of #EOS is a resource used on the blockchain network to store smart contracts and account data, with its smallest unit being a true byte. This means that any content that needs to be stored on the EOS network, whether it's the code of a smart contract or user data, will consume RAM resources in byte units.
Although in the EOS ecosystem, 'RAM' typically refers to storage capacity, it is fundamentally different from cryptocurrencies like 'Bitcoin' (BTC). BTC is a cryptocurrency used as a store of value and for payments, whereas EOS's RAM is a unit of resource for storing information on the blockchain.
However, from a certain perspective, EOS's RAM can also be likened to a 'byte coin' because its scarcity and demand will influence its market price. RAM in the EOS network is a valuable resource, and the market supply-demand relationship determines the price of RAM. If there are many developers and users needing more storage space, the price of RAM will increase with rising demand. Thus, RAM, as a digital asset, also possesses certain economic attributes.
In summary, the smallest unit of EOS's RAM is a byte, and from an economic perspective, it also has characteristics similar to a 'coin', but its function is different from that of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
