Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are major public blockchains, but what exactly sets them apart?
Bitcoin uses proof of work (PoW). In September 2022, Ethereum switched from proof of work to proof of stake (PoS) through “The Merge.”
When comparing Bitcoin and Ethereum, looking at their design and use cases is more meaningful—and less likely to be swayed by market sentiment—than focusing only on price movements.
$BTC and $ETH are the native coins of Bitcoin and Ethereum, respectively, but they have different design goals. Currently 73820.41.
