In today’s contemporary world, the latest hype that is going on is the Crpto currency trend. People are confused between Bit coin and Ethereum and they actually do not know which surpasses the other. Though both the ecosystem is trying to do things in their own way, there are definitely some distinctive marks between the two.
Since Ethereum is a relatively new platform there is much more availability of coins. Bitcoin in comparison is a lot scarcer. Bitcoin is known to have a coin supply cap of 21 million BTC. Ethereum has around 92 million coins that are being circulated. People usually tend to overlook the fact that it will remain an inflatory currency. People tend to shrug this off and claim that this actually does not matter. Ethereum is the only currency without a fixed maximum supply cap at the moment. Though Bitcoin is better in this regard, the availability and supply of coin is definitely more in Ethereum. This it can be termed as better.
I agree the inflationary nature in terms of number of coins should not be overlooked. This could well have a deflationary effect on the price.
The question is how big does the Ethereum network become and what are the uses? Bitcoin is already showing some limitations that may or may not be worked out. The transmission speed, for the foreseeable future, will remain a problem as will the cost. Hence, the likelihood that BTC is even used for micropayments is low. Atomic swaps could solve this problem, in fact they most likely will. Nevertheless, the store of value that BTC is starting to claim is going to be a huge thing for it. BTC will top coin for this reason in my opinion.
