How is Bitcoin different from Etherium?

[liivii]

Bitcoin is more popular than ethereum so many people investing in bitcoin rather than ethereum but for me those two are nearly the same that will be part of our future payment systems. Bitcoin started the trend of crypto market and followed up by altcoins and ethereum is needed for you to make transactions to other altcoins. having those two in your wallet will guarantee you a better profit in the future if you manage those two carefully.

To my mind, it is necessary to be a professional specialist to differentiate between them, I think that you need to buy ether as it has good potential and it costs not as much as btc. To my mind,you have to learn more about them asking experts

Bitcoin is a digital cryptocurrency in the country, it goes for the future and provides a payment system for their coin. While an Ethereum is the latest platform that can set up any of these things. So as social media decentralization or all of these earning mods are connected to all types of devices sometimes also fun like the ICO, you can place all the platforms.

Currently these two coins are developed on two different platforms. BTC is always more valuable than ETH, but in terms of popularity, ETH is more popular than BTC.

Bitcoin has a different platform from ETH. But both are popular coins and also in traders's eye both are valuable coins. In future definitely bitcoin and ETH give us profit, But bitcoin is in number First forever.

For me bitcoin is an expensive investment while ethereum is the affordable one but both are profitable investments depending on one's strategies, experience and patience.

How is Bitcoin different from Etherium?

For me, as an investor, Etherium poses a bigger personal interest than Bitcoin, but it is pretty clear that at least for the next year bitcoin will be the leading currency in the crypto market. That is also because most of the people nowadays are familiar with Bitcoin, but have heard nothing of Etherium. But if you are looking for a long term investment, Etherium might be your solution.

I hold the same view until I read that Ethereum has only one application - ICO. I am wondering, what other application apart from ICO does Ethereum support? Are we hoping that the foretold Ethereum fork is aimed at addressing this?

BTC has a higher TPS & SPT than Ethereum

Bitcoins is the base of all the crypto currencies and therefore it is the best.

Bitcoin is like a ramp to the cryptocurrency world. It is both a medium of payment and a digital gold, so you can almost treat it as an encrypted reserve asset. It is really good in terms of payment. Meanwhile, Ethereum is the world's computer platform. It is the Blockchain platform that contains smart contracts that can be built on that foundation.

It is both a medium of payment and a digital gold,

So how about etherium ?  Etherium is can be also called a digital silver  and also a medium of payment because it can be used for both purposes just like what we have on bitcoin.

The only main difference between them , is that  bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency and etherium is just a mere altcoin but both of them are still superb or superior because of their solid characteristics .

Choosing both coins is also a good idea rather than choosing only one .

You guide us good, it is right, better to choose both of them rather than choose only one. But if we compare which one is better than definitely Bitcoin will be in first position than ETH.

When you said ethereim poses more investors interest meaning this was in demand?if your basis is the rampant usage of this coin for ico project then you are definitely wrong because this was just being used for scamming and nothing concerns as for the investors,when time comes that this ico's putted policies and regulations for sure the demand for ethereum will goes down and again bitcoin wins

Bitcoin is primary investment in cryptomarket and ethereum is bussiness platform. I am prefer think bitcoin is store of value and can be used as currency and ethereum is my second investment choice. Both are good coin and its worth to invest

[RasicaOla12]

As the average time of each block of Bitcoin is 10 minutes and Ethereum is 12 seconds More than two thirds Bitcoin has been exploited and put into circulation on the market. Ethereum alone does not have a fixed supply that is fundamentally different from ethereu and bitcoin

Me too, but when it comes to its price ethereum is still can afford to buy while bitcoin even drops drastically has still really have a high amount that small investors can't afford to buy a lot. Anyway, they are far different from each other.

Both coin are good but bitcoin is really different to Ethereum, they  say that bitcoin is the   father of CryptoCurrencies and ethereum is different to it because ethereum has a lot of  token unlike in bitcoin.

[kniheant]

for me,I think bitcoin is more popular but in reality they have many common features and this can explain the great popularity of ether as well as bitcoin. i m sure that bitcoin is the best of the best but ethereum is a real rival.

[Zurbuchen]

The difference between the two is that bitcoin is the main token or currency while etherium is just an alternative coins. But i do think that of all the alternstive coins existing in the market etherium is the best rival of Bitcoin. Since it has been following bitcoins progress in the market.

Totally different in so many ways. Talking about bitcoin being deflationary while Ethereum being inflationary, talking about how one is more of a currency and the other is more of a smart contract platform and so on. One thing is that they both serve unique purposes which make them very useful in the cryptocurrency space and of course, make them keep being on top as they are now if they end up not getting a push from a competition.

How is Bitcoin different from Etherium?

I have seen many questions on this matter around Bitcointalk, so I thought that this would be useful as a source. Hope you enjoy and don’t forget to say “thanks”.

So let’s start off with the question “What are Bitcoin and Etherium?”. Well, they are cryptocurrencies, based on the blockchain. So what makes Bitcoin and Etherium so different, if they are based on the same system?

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is often defined as the “digital gold” and that is for a reason. It had been one of the first cryptocurrencies to appear and this makes it such a popular coin nowadays. It can be defined as the dollar of the blockchain, as it is only a payment method. It can not be described as an innovative and mind-blowing technology, although it is very useful itself, it is just your money, held in a digital form. Bitcoin can be used for multiple purposes, one of them is inviting in ICOs (Initial Coin Offering). Once you support an ICO, they give you their tokens, which can be compared to stocks, which grow with the company, although are dependent on the price of Bitcoin and the market in general. Some other purposes are investing and basic payments, which are getting more and more popular nowadays.

Etherium

Etherium, on the other hand, is defined as the “digital petroleum”. It had been launched at the beginning of the crypto market development, and many people see it overtaking Bitcoin in future due to it’s flexibility. Of course, it is priced lower than Bitcoin as it had entered the market way later, but that does not deny it’s usefulness when it comes to innovations. Shortly speaking, where Bitcoin is just a currency, Etherium is a platform for other applications to host and grow at. It is so “open-minded” as a platform, that you could build anything on it, starting from 3D printing to traveling network management. And that is the quality that allowed Etherium to enter the big market: it occupies a different area rather than Bitcoin, therefore serves for different purposes.

Conclusion

For me, as an investor, Etherium poses a bigger personal interest than Bitcoin, but it is pretty clear that at least for the next year bitcoin will be the leading currency in the crypto market. That is also because most of the people nowadays are familiar with Bitcoin, but have heard nothing of Etherium. But if you are looking for a long term investment, Etherium might be your solution.

The difference between bitcoin and etherium is their price value. Bitcoin price value is much higher than compare to etherium price value. And interms of popularity bitcoin is the first and etherium is the second.  But they have both good coins and gives good profits.

Ethereum has open source algorithm to develop own dApp of use like we have seen ERC 20 Tokens in ICOs for raise money for developing a product or service for people. But on the other hand bitcoin does not support open source algorithm.
Ethereum has many applications such as Ethereum Smart contract, ERC-20, Dapps.
