🚨 BITCOIN vs ETHEREUM: THE SUPPLY SURPRISE!
Here is a fascinating difference between the world's two major crypto networks.
Bitcoin has a fixed maximum supply of 21 million BTC.
But Ethereum's ETH has no fixed maximum supply limit.
So, how does Ethereum manage its supply?
🔸 Bitcoin: New BTC enters circulation through mining rewards. The block reward is cut in half approximately every four years.
🔸 Ethereum: New ETH is issued as staking rewards, while a portion of transaction fees (the base fee) is burned and permanently removed from circulation.
🔥 The surprising part:
When Ethereum network activity is high, the amount of ETH burned can exceed the amount newly issued. At other times, issuance can be higher than burning.
This means ETH supply can expand or contract depending on network activity and staking.
My takeaway: Bitcoin focuses on a predetermined supply limit, while Ethereum uses a dynamic issuance-and-burn mechanism.
Neither design guarantees a higher token price.
👇 Which monetary design do you find more interesting: Bitcoin's fixed supply or Ethereum's dynamic supply?
