Digital Gold vs. World Computer
Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" – a store of value and a medium of exchange. Ethereum, on the other hand, is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference.
Supply
Bitcoin has a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins. Ethereum does not have a hard cap, but its issuance is regulated by its protocol updates (like EIP-1559 which burns ETH).
Utility
Bitcoin is primarily used for payments and as a store of value. Ethereum is the foundation for the DeFi and NFT ecosystems.
