What’s the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum? Don’t panic—your class study rep is here:
Vitalik Buterin wrote the Ethereum white paper in 2013, and the mainnet launched in July 2015. Its goal is to be a platform that can run general-purpose smart contracts.
Bitcoin places greater emphasis on simple rules and network stability, so protocol changes are very conservative. Ethereum puts more emphasis on programmability and ecosystem growth, so it undergoes more protocol upgrades.
The first page of my study notes says: Understand it before you place an order.
$BTC 81267.93(-0.97%)
