Why do people compare Bitcoin to “digital gold” and Ethereum to a “world computer”?
One number: Bitcoin produces a block on average every 10 minutes, while Ethereum produces a block every 12 seconds, one slot at a time.
“Digital gold” and “world computer” are just common metaphors describing their different focuses; they don’t imply anything about their prices.
Understanding this is better than memorizing a bunch of jargon. Be extra skeptical of projects claiming stable, high returns.
$BTC and $ETH are the native coins of Bitcoin and Ethereum, but they serve different purposes.
