Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two dominant forces in the cryptocurrency world. Each represents a unique vision of the future of blockchain technology.
Bitcoin, being the pioneer of this revolution, brought the world into the blockchain era. Therefore, it forms the foundation for all subsequent cryptocurrencies.
As the first fully functional blockchain in the world, it offered users an operating model based on a decentralized ledger, which enables transparent and secure financial transactions without the need for intermediaries.
Created as an alternative to traditional currencies, bitcoin coins were intended to act as a decentralized, censorship-free and neutral digital currency.
However, over time its use has evolved. Currently, bitcoin is not only a medium of exchange, but also a store of value available to everyone, regardless of account balance. (1)
The decentralized nature of BTC also reduces the cost of international transfers, making the cryptocurrency an alternative to traditional financial systems.
Another distinguishing feature of the Bitcoin network is the largest market capitalization. This proves its popularity and the trust investors have in it.
