What's the difference between BTC and eth
BTC bitcoin
bitcoin is the first distributed digital asset platform created. Since its launch in 2009, it has proven to be not only the most popular, but also the largest market capital value. In addition, it is also the most expensive, with a value of $10710 per coin on February 17, 2018. Bitcoin introces the first blockchain distributed ledger dedicated to recording all transactions, and gets rid of the function that users need a central authority to process or verify transactions
its goal is to provide a platform for users to conct cross-border transactions without any intermediary, which is what we call decentralization. The platform's largest money (BTC) supply is about 21 million. Of this figure, about 16.5 million have been mined and are now in circulation. It is mined all the time around the world to ensure the circulation of coins
Advantages:1. Its distributed system provides users with great freedom
2. High portability

2. The user may lose the key
eth Ethereum
Ethereum is also a distributed platform, which was created by Network Programmer vitalik buterin in July 2015. Ethereum aims to enable users to create and deploy smart contracts. One of the main functions of smart contracts is to allow the creation of encrypted assets or tokens running on Ethereum networks. Ethereum token is used to purchase various functions such as cloud storage space. These tokens are stored in a digital wallet compatible with Ethereum blockchain
Ethereum's digital currency ether serves as the medium for executing smart contracts. At present, about 98 million ether coins have been mined and circulated, and the circulation supply increases by about 18 million every year. Ethernet coin is created to run on the Ethereum network. It can be used to compensate the participant nodes or transfer from one user to another

< H2 > extended data:generation principle:
starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually a special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the finite solutions of a system of equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique
in the metaphor of banknotes, bitcoin is the number of the top word of a banknote. The number of the top word on a banknote owns the banknote. The process of mining is to constantly seek the special solution of the equation system through huge amount of calculation. The equation system is designed to have only 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million
to mine bitcoin, you can download the special bitcoin computing tools, register various cooperation websites, fill the registered user name and password into the computing program, and then click the operation to officially start
after completing the installation of bitcoin client, you can directly obtain a bitcoin address. When others pay, you only need to post the address to others, and you can pay through the same client
after installing the bitcoin client, it will assign a private key and a public key. You need to back up the wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, personal bitcoin will be completely lost
Bitcoin uses SHA-256 encryption algorithm. When mining, it competes with computing power. In order to improve computing power, bitcoin has gone through four stages: CPU mining, GPU mining, FPGA mining and now ASIC mining machine mining, and the degree of specialization is getting higher and higher
Ethereum uses the ethash encryption algorithm. In the process of mining, it needs to read the memory and store the DAG file. Because the bandwidth of each read memory is limited, and the existing computer technology is difficult to have a qualitative breakthrough in this problem, so no matter how to improve the computing efficiency of the computer, the memory read efficiency will not be greatly improved. Therefore, in a sense, Ethereum's ethash encryption algorithm is ASIC resistant.
different encryption algorithms lead to great differences in mining equipment and computing power between bitcoin and Ethereum
at present, bitcoin mining equipment is mainly ASIC mining machine with a very high degree of specialization. The maximum computing power of a single mining machine is 110t / s, and the scale of computing power of the whole network is more than 120eh / s
the main mining equipment of Ethereum is video card miner, and there are very few specialized ASIC miner. On the one hand, the "ASIC resistance" of Ethereum mining algorithm improves the threshold of developing ASIC miner. On the other hand, after Ethereum is upgraded to 2.0, the consensus mechanism will be transformed into POS, and the miner can not continue mining
compared with the ASIC miner, the graphics card miner has two orders of magnitude difference in computing power. At present, the computing power of mainstream graphics card miner (8 cards) is about 420mh / s, and that of Ethereum is about 230th / s.
from the time dimension of the past two years, bitcoin's computing power of the whole network is growing rapidly, while Ethereum's computing power of the whole network is growing relatively slowly
The ASIC mining machine of
bitcoin is monopolized by several major mining machine manufacturers, and miners can only buy it from the market; Although the graphics card miner of Ethereum is also manufactured by a special miner, the miner can buy accessories from the market and assemble them according to his own demand
although bitcoin and Ethernet are both digital currencies, unlike bitcoin, the main purpose of Ethernet is not to build itself as a payment substitute, but to facilitate and monetize the operation of Ethereum, so that developers can build and run distributed applications
1. The price of BTC and eth you see on this platform is not the real price against the US dollar, but the price in usdt, which is priced in OTC legal currency. Their ups and downs are all calculated in terms of usdt. All three of them are virtual currencies, just currency transactions, not real dollar prices
2. Usdt is a complete domestic counterfeit currency, formerly known as realcoin, but it has just changed its name. Realcoin is the second generation of domestic counterfeit currency, and the first generation is called chncoin Chinese currency. Both of them collapsed successively in 2013 and 2014
3. The actual value of usdt can be said to be equal to 0. Teda Company, which issued usdt, stopped providing any services to American citizens, that is to say, Teda Company could not provide usdt to us dollar
extended information:
1. Fire coin is a safe and reliable bitcoin trading platform in China. It has won a round of ten million RMB capital investment from Zhenge fund, Dai Zhikang, Sequoia capital (shareholders of many world-famous companies such as apple and Alibaba). Fire coin implements strict risk control management and operates stably. As of the end of 2016, the accumulated turnover of fire currency reached 200 billion yuan
2. In the future, fire coin will mainly focus on overseas transactions. Founder Li Lin said in an open letter that he is currently carrying out five major businesses around the world, including fire coin global professional station, fire coin Korea, fire coin China, fire Coin Wallet and fire coin global dollar station. Among them, fire coin China focuses on blockchain technology R & D and application information, while fire coin Korea and fire coin global dollar station will continue to provide local legal currency to digital currency digital asset trading services
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto on November 1, 2008, and was officially born on January 3, 2009 [1]. According to the idea of Nakamoto, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network on it is constructed. Bitcoin is a virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function, which provides decentralized Ethereum virtual machine to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether (ETH)
warm tips:
1. The above information is for reference only, without any suggestions
2. According to the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, there is no approved digital currency trading platform in China. According to the regulation of digital currency in China, investors have the freedom to participate in digital currency transactions at their own risk

if you have to choose one, you should not look at anything else when digital currency comes out. BTC has risen more in the past week than any investment proct in the world. But now in the historical high, be careful.
