The Taproot upgrade consists of three separate upgrade proposals. However, at its core, the upgrade introduces a new digital signature scheme called "Schnorr" that will help bitcoin transactions become more efficient and more private. Schnorr can also be leveraged to let bitcoin users execute more complex smart contracts.

What do you think about the latest update? For me, Smart Contracts are extremely important in the long run: it will be possible to create d-apps on Bitcoin blockchain for which it will be necessary to use Bitcoins to interact, leading more people to buy Bitcoins.

I'm the founder of Upneko, a service that gives the opportunity to users to build their own cryptocurrency on the Ethereum blockchain without the need to write any code.

It's a web3 application that generates and deploys crypto Tokens/Altcoins that are compliant with the ERC20 standard: you are able to add and choose additional features to create a custom Token.
There is a free tier (minus gas fees) that you can try on Mainnet. You can also try it using all possible features on test networks like Ropsten completely for free.

I'm an engineer and I noticed that it's very hard for non-tech people to make a token, that's why I decided to build this application.
I would love to see if anyone could be interested in this type of service.

I was wondering, why (or why not) do you think that Bitcoin is better than Ethereum?

Ethereum seems to provide everything that Bitcoin offers but it has a huge advantage: smart contracts.
Smart contracts are small "programs" that live on the blockchain, so you can use them to build actual services and applications, while Bitcoin is useful only as a digital currency.

So why do you prefer Bitcoin if Ethereum seems superior?
Or maybe I'm missing something that makes Bitcoin actually better than Ethereum in some way?
