Hello everyone, Whats the difference between Bitcoin Address and ERC-20 Wallet address ?
  On the wallet you can only keep bitcoin and coins compatible with it, and you will never be able to send other coins there. And on the wallet of ERC-20 you will be able to store all the altcoins that work on this platform.

Bitcoin addresses begin with a 1 or 3 depending if you use SegWit yet or not. And Ethereum addresses begin with a standard 0x. The difference is that they function on a completely different blockchain, in which right now Ethereum is much more capable and faster.

In layman terms, Bitcoin and ERC20 tokens are built in different blockchains. Hence the addresses are different since it is the result of a mathematical operation. You can’t send Bitcoin to ERC20 address.

Bitcoin wallet is solely for bitcoin and no other coin and ERC wallet is usually for altcoins and especially for new or ico coins. Erc has capacity to accommodate variety of coins, what usually happens is that you imput the contract address, decimal and token name in the space provided for it to see the coin on the erc.

Its very simple Bitcoin address is for bitcoin. You can not store and hold altcoins here. ERC-20 wallet is for ethereum and other ERC-20 based cryptocurrencies. As ethereum's blockchain differs from Bitcoin it need to be stored in its own address.

Bitcoin address is an address with which you hold your bitcoins and it is native to a bitcoin blockchain. Ethereum, on the other hand, has it's own blockchain and set of rules and hence it's own address. But it is not only for Ethereum, it is also for ERC20 compliant tokens which make a majority of cryptos out there. While on bitcoin blockchain you can only store bitcoins.
