[SohyunPark]

What is the major difference between these coins both are the same?

the most striking difference is in terms of price. people who save bitcoin are mostly for investment, but ethereum has smart contracts.

There are some differences between Bitcoin and Ethereum. Mostly because Bitcoin and Ethereum are created with a different situation, so they have differences. At least, we can see these distinctions :

1. The Ranks on CMC
2. The Value
3. ETH is altcoin
4. King vs Queen of crypto coins

I think one of the striking difference is the both coins share different value and the bitcoin demand is not actually the same with Etherum because of it's price value. But another amazing thing about Etherum is that many other altcoins is building under Etherum Blockchain.

The first thing to note when mentioning Ethereum is that "ETHEREUM is not just a digital currency". That is the name of a blockchain platform characterized by the concept of Smart Contract
One major difference between them is supply. More than two thirds of Bitcoin has been mined and put into circulation. Ethereum alone does not fix the supply

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency coin but ethereum is an altcoin created based on POS. Bitcoin market cap is much more than Ethereum market cap.

Although both are categorised as cryptos, yet the main diff between the two is the nature i.e etherum is an alt coin, a sub category of crypto.

Coins are created with different codes, at different times, for different purposes. Bitcoin is in the first place for investing, and in terms of reliability, by the way, too.

ethereum is the king of altcoin if bitcoin is the king of crypto. in terms of price, they are very much different even though they are in the first and second positions in the coin market.

[ariennem]

They are different cryptocurrencies with their own characteristics.

Bitcoin is worth more, has a lower max supply (21 million) and 10 minutes blocks.

ethereum is the king of altcoin if bitcoin is the king of crypto. in terms of price, they are very much different even though they are in the first and second positions in the coin market.

If we compare bitcoin with ethereum , ETH is more robust than BTC, but if you consider their prices, BTC is far more in value as compared to ETH.

[rhetorically]

Apart from the obvious price difference, Ethereum is a subcategory of bitcoin, aka, altcoin so one could say that Bitcoin is a bitcoin and Ethereum is an altcoin.
