BTC vs ETH - Why do we, as a community keep comparing these two when they are different in many ways. Embracing both unlocks full potential of crypto, and most people in crypto world will tell you that you should hold Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Yesterday were some posts comparing BTC and ETH, and people were discussing which one os "better", will ETH surpass BTC and so on.

Well, I understand the "cultish" behaviour behind coins that you hold, but Idon't get it. Most of people that are into crypto hold both, understanding that both of them work in a specific way. Both projects are extraodinary, both server different purposes.

So I don't understand "will ETH surpass BTC, how much ETH went up compared to BTC this year, which one is faster, which one is more "programmable" etc.

Bitcoin is maybe simpler and more seen as a store of a value, with its fixed supply. Ethereum is a revolutionazing blockchain that is a great platform to build decentralized applications, meanwhile his supply is not capped, it is more upgreadable. It is known for its smart contracts.

Bitcoin is like a gateway to crypto. It is a pioneer, established cryptocurrency, more recognized then Ethereum. If you never heard about ETH you probably heard about BTC. After getting into crypto, it won't be a long time untill you find about ETH and its smart contracts, DeFi apps, gas fees.

We could go forever with comparisons between these two, but my point is: they are not rivals. They are something like a force when united can give you a full crypto potential, they are working together. Holding these bluechips will relieve you from stress in crypto world.

BTC and ETH comparisons and debates should be moved from arguing to "working together". Different projects have different strenght and weaknesses.
