Bitcoin uses computing power to keep the ledger, but Ethereum no longer uses mining rigs. What’s the difference?
Definition: Bitcoin produces a block roughly every 10 minutes, and mining difficulty is readjusted every 2016 blocks.
Why: Proof of stake uses staked assets as collateral: validators who break the rules have some of their stake slashed, and those offline for a long time also lose some of their balance.
A price quote at the end: $BTC is quoted at 81550 (24h -0.66%).
Understanding the principles helps you make informed decisions; it’s not about predicting market movements.
