#BTCvsETH Both Bitcoin and Ethereum operate on the principles of distributed ledgers and cryptography, but they technically differ in many ways. Transactions on the Ethereum network can contain executable code, while the data attached to transactions on the Bitcoin network is used solely for recording transaction information.
Other differences include block time (ETH transactions are confirmed in seconds compared to minutes for BTC) and their consensus mechanisms. Bitcoin uses proof of work, while Ethereum uses proof of stake.
