The erc20 which ethereum represent makes it easier for any company to create there are own blockchain but bitcoin do not allow that.  Bitcoin is not as large as ethereum.  Ethereum can accommodate many companies and businesses.

Bitcoin is just a digital currency, but ethereum has more to offer in addition to that. Ethereum provides a platform to the developer on which they can build blockchain_based smart contracts and decentralized apps. Ethereum was the first cryptocurrency to introduce smart contracts, which are now considered as the next big thing.
Ethereum is also the most preferred platform for launching ICOs.
I don't see any big differences that to be involved in between the Bitcoin and ethereum because both are having same kind of qualities and development but Bitcoin is little more ahead of ethereum otherwise both are very good investment for our future.

Yes, this is the difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin. Indeed Ethereum is very active as a smart platform. But Ethereum's price growth cannot be separated from the growth of Bitcoin. Because we know that Bitcoin is the number one coin and all Altcoin are like being connected with Bitcoin.

ethereum is unique because it has created a platform that is very simple and widely used by many people, although the blockchain is not too bad but ethereum has proven to be chosen by many new projects in crypto currencies.
so right that the ethereum platform from yesterday in 2017, if not mistaken, is still being used by many people to create projects or as a means of transaction within the ICO. ethereum's unique for me like that
I can't say that ETH is more than bitcoin, but ETH does have several advantages. in fact, in terms of investment, sometimes ETH is more important than bitcoin. maybe because people see the potential for ETH to be greater, moreover the price is not as high as bitcoin.

No! The Ethereum platform at the moment is the most well known and used by people! But there is a significant increases in the use of EOS and also Tron! I think the next race will be about creating the best DAPPs and their ability to get users! Probably ETH won't be behind, in a few days the HF will happen and we can have better expectations.

I agree that the main difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin is that Ethereum has smart contracts and this is useful for many sectors of the economy. But what worries me is that Ethereum does not have a maximum supply and is rather a gas for smart contracts. Bitcoin has a limited amount of supply and this makes it more attractive to investors as a long-term investment.

Ethereum might be unique but it still another copycat of bitcoin network and no matter uniques every altcoin is they are still bitcoin kid. However, what make ethereum unique what the knowledge and the ideas implemented by the teams in other to make new project owners to create their own coin/token.

They have some unique that ethereum have that no has no In the bitcoin. If you see most of the project now are base to ethereum coin and I think it will increase the value next few Years. Also most of the project are want to be partnership to the ethereum and that's create ERC20 smart contract all of the tokens are base to the ethereum.

The similarities between Bitcoin and Ethereum ends in the fact that they are both blockchains. We all agree that Bitcoin set the trend for blockchain technology as it is the first fully functional, truly decentralized cryptocurrency. The good part about Ethereum is the fact that it is not purely a digital money platform. The Ethereum blockchain doesn't only allow you transfer funds (Ether), you can also execute smart contracts and launch dApps on the blockchain. I will like to say that, Ethereum took the concept of blockchain to a whole new level.

The uniqueness is that the survival rate of its technology is much greater than that of Bitcoin, and the speed of transactions attracts more and more investors. I wonder how many forks are now in these coins.

Bitcoin is the first succes from the blockchain platform, ethereum is almost the same. Ethereum has got its own blockchain platform. Smart contract platform is more effective, and the same can be used as a base by ERC-20 token developers. Similar to ethereum we've got more other platforms like eos, waves, tron and so on. Even though we've got many such, ethereum stands high among them making it to be a competitive platform to bitcoin.

That's right because of the few coins in the crypto coin that the ICO or project is very fond of is ethereum, because ethereum has a very good platform and ethereum is also the most sought after investor
maybe I don’t understand something, but for the whole practice of participating in Bounty companies, I have met projects almost connected with the ethereum platform. Based on this, I conclude that ethereum is still more in demand on the market.

perhaps ethereum was the only opportunity for new projects a couple of years ago to create their own coins. But today there are enough competitive platforms that can replace ethereum.
You are really right about the choice of platform teams, but if we talk about the difference between Bitcoin and ethereum, then first of all they are different in price per transaction and in the speed of transfer of transactions. if in this regard, to choose the best, then the leadership is still in ethereum.
Both have a lot of differences not only in the blockchain specification but i should remind you that ethereum and bitcoin have been building on the different system that bitcoin focus to be the payment system while ethereum much focused its platform to provide the manufacture.
Of course, you are right, and I think that in the current state of the cryptocurrency market, it is the ethereum that wins in all indicators. Of course, you still have a lot of time to go so that users bet on ethereum, and not on Bitcoin.

Think of this, Ethereum is the son of Bitcoin (maybe daughter if you wish). Why is that?
Think bitcoin as a General and he's got a son who achieved same achievements on a very young age. It's great that his son is doing great but he's not as valuable as his pops, Ethereum is always behind the shadow of bitcoin.
Anyways, blockchain is initially used on bitcoin, Ethereum just improved it better based on the utilities it could serve best, their not on the same track

Ethereum is no more the only platform to offer smart contract. There has some more coins too. There is no way of comparing bitcoin with ethereum. As a coin Ethereum has a lot to offer but bitcoin is the most accepted cryptocurrency and it has the most active nodes which is the main base of a cryptocurrency.

Ethereum was the first cryptocurrency to introduce smart contracts, which are now considered as the next big thing.
Ethereum is also the most preferred platform for launching ICOs.

Bitcoin:

  • Bitcoin is the world’s first fully-functional cryptocurrency that is truly decentralized, open-source and censorship-resistant.
  • Bitcoin’s blockchain doesn’t care whether you are a human or a machine. Thousands of Bitcoin nodes on the blockchain are equally able to verify the legitimacy of payments independently and that’s why there is no need for any third party intermediaries like banks.


Ethereum:


  • Ethereum is not purely digital money but it doesn’t mean that you cannot transact on that blockchain
  • Ethereum’s blockchain can handle accounts and transactions like Bitcoin’s blockchain but can also store and execute newly coded programming logic.
  • Ethereum has its own Turing complete internal code... a Turing-complete code means that given enough computing power and enough time... anything can be calculated. With Bitcoin, there is not this form of flexibility.

The difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum

  • Ethereum is different from Bitcoin mostly because with Ethereum you can not only transfer money (i.e. Ether) but you can also execute smart contracts and make DApps

Another thing Ethereum is mainly used for Launching an ICO.

Both great cryptos. All have pros and cons. Eth has unlimited supply as for me this is not the great idea. BTC has no smart contracts. But both have real usage and widely famous. Hope both will become faster in next few years.
The Bitcoin and Ethereum is a Cryptocurrency it is the only mutual things in these two platform but others totally different in this platform. Because Erc 20 is much better project in current situation so Ethereum is a unique opportunity to follow the Ethereum smart contract. But your answer totally outside of question so read carefully then post the right manner.

They have their own distinctions of variations, peculiarities, and trends as we all know how popular is Ethereum with smart contracts and its support towards ICO and its tokens creations, it serves its purpose that bitcoin cannot serve and that's it, ETH cannot replace bitcoin most especially with its price and popularity, ETH has no limit to its supply while bitcoin has.

Agree. Until and unless, Ethereum community accepts Vitalik's EIP, Ethereum may never repeat history again. Who can forget the ultimate run of Ethereum in 2016-17 but if problem of inflation isn't solved it may never see $10,000.

One more thing, due to excessive daps development and ICO abuse, Ethereum blockchain is much more abused than Bitcoin's blockchain. So when comes to real world use as mode of payment, Bitcoin tends to overshadow Ethereum as ETH network is more prone to abuse and congestion.

the main difference are that ethereum is centralized, has a huge premine, it also had an ICO, and also finally it is providing an easy way of scamming people by creating these useless things called ICOs.
of course there are smaller differences too like having a bloated blockchain that nobody can sync anymore and the dwindling number of full nodes run by regular users on their personal computers and everything moving to servers and centralizing it even more.

There are many differences between Bitcoin and Ethereum.
1.   Bitcoin creates 12.5 new Bitcoins every 10 mins and Ethereum creates 3 new ethers every 15 seconds.
2.    Bitcoin is limited to 21 million Bitcoins, of which 16.7m have been created so far. Ethereum has no hard cap currently, but there are plans to reduce or stop issuance in a year or two.
3.   Bitcoin creates new block every 10 minutes and Ethereum creates new block in 15 seconds.
4.   Ethereum assigns a cost, known as gas, to every operation or use of storage on the blockchain. Bitcoin transaction costs are based simply on their size.
5.   Ethereum smart contract code lives at its own address on the blockchain as opposed to being within a transaction as in the case of Bitcoin.

HODLing is an art, not just a word...
in short bitcoin is a currency that has additional features built on top of it in form of side chains instead of it all being on the blockchain and bloat it for no reason. while ethereum is just a token that you use to make ICOs (aka smart contracts) which is already possibly with bitcoin.

in details:
bitcoin is decentralized while ethereum is centralized.
bitcoin has a small supply which is capped, ether has unlimited supply with a huge circulating one.
bitcoin is a currency and also can be used to create smart contracts. ether is just a token that you can only create smart contracts with.
bitcoin is battle hardened and fully tested without any bugs while ethereum is filled with bugs and there are a lot of exploits in it.

Ethereum had better have more to offer than a digital currency! Because Bitcoin is moving further and further away from the pack in achieving that (it already has achieved it actually, it just is now scaling and then maybe focusing on other issues such as privacy and miner centralization). Ethereum was supposed to be all about dapps and smart contracts, but it is in danger of collapsing if all these dapps suddenly come together and start to work! It will totally break the network.

Hi friends, the answer below might help you a little.
Ethereum is specifically designed to be an open smart contract. Transactions conducted in blockchain can execute a smart contract in various ways, for example by sending a digital currency or data to the contract address. If successfully executed, the smart contract can process more transactions or execute other smart contracts. Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), is a software that developers can use to create applications as easily as creating crypto-based transaction applications. With the concept offered, developers do not have to create and manage their own blockchain.

Bitcoin is created as an alternative to regular money whereas Ethereum is developed as a platform which facilitates peer-to-peer contracts and applications via its own currency  Main purpose of Ethereum is to enable developers to build and run distributed applications DAPPS. You may think of ethereum as an operating system for the blockchain. However In a bit technical terms programming language used by Ethereum is Turning complete whereas Bitcoin is in a stack based language
In terms of block time Ethereum transaction is confirmed in seconds compared to minutes for Bitcoin. And in terms of algorithm Ethereum uses ethash while Bitcoin uses secure hash algorithm, SHA-256

Ethereum currently sees about 100,000 new addresses a day, with the total number of new addresses doubling since December and now exceeding 35 million.
Comparable statistics for bitcoin are no longer shown by his main block researcher, but according to the latest known data in March, bitcoin had 24 million addresses, while ethereum had 31 million.
The comparison may not be very accurate, as in ethereum smart contracts are the address, but such smart contracts are only thousands, and the gap, at least in March, was about seven million.

Bitcoin centers to be a digital mainstream currency in the future and is currently used more as an investment asset. Ethereum, on the other hand is much more versatile than the pioneer.
Not only as an investment asset, it is used as a platform for posting new ICOs.
The coin can also be used as a token for smart, decentralised e-applications. Also, the coin's development team makes its blockchain much more advanced than the pioneer.

Ethereum is unique in a way how it's project development works and how hard their team is working. That is why it still remains as a top coin for a long period of time and it was able to beat coins like monero that was able to launch their coin first. But no one knows for sure how the coins are going to work in the upcoming years. Because every coins is unique in their own ways. Five years from now, it is possible that an altcoin can beat bitcoin already.

This is what makes Etherum different from Bitcoin, Etherum has a unique feature that is smart contract used by many ICO projects. This is what makes the market share owned by Etherum can be said is a fantastic value. Unlike the other Altcoin which is far away below Etherum.

But if taken conclusively then Bitcoin remains in the top choice, with a much larger transaction volume then it has created a much higher level of trust. The difference is that Etherum still can not beat Bitcoin for now, it is not impossible that someday it could happen, yes there is nothing impossible in the world of digital currency because everything can happen so quickly and full of surprise .
