Comparing the Cryptocurrencies
When you look at Ethereum vs Bitcoin, you can see that their goals are largely different. Looking at their market statistics, though, the difference is rather small — Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $147.3b while Ethereum’s market capitalization is $84.2b.
Note: market capitalization (often referred to as “market cap”) is the total value of all coins in existence. For example, Bitcoin’s $147.3b market cap means the value of all Bitcoins together is $147.3b.
So, besides statistics, how exactly do Bitcoin and Ethereum match up?
Many beginners in cryptocurrency believe that Ethereum is only as a financial currency, like Bitcoin. This is wrong for many reasons; let’s look at the basics.

Although it isn’t a formally recognized medium of payment or store of value, cryptocurrency has managed to carve out a niche for itself and continues to coexist with the financial system despite being regularly scrutinized and debated.If the private key is lost, the bitcoin network will not recognize any other evidence of ownership; the coins are then unusable, and effectively lost. For example, in 2013 one user claimed to have lost 7,500 bitcoins, worth $7.5 million at the time, when he accidentally discarded a hard drive containing his private key. About 20% of all bitcoins are believed to be lost -they would have had a market value of about $20 billion at July 2018 prices.bitcoin count пулы bitcoin monero dwarfpool продать bitcoin ethereum miner
