Bitcoin fundamentals
Bitcoin is a decentralised network that uses proof of work to validate transactions. Market prices reflect changing supply, demand, liquidity and sentiment. No return or future price is assured.
Ethereum fundamentals
Ethereum supports programmable smart contracts and uses proof of stake. Applications include token issuance and decentralised finance. Smart contracts, validators and applications introduce distinct technical and economic risks.
A framework for learning
Consider network design, custody, liquidity and transaction costs separately from price narratives. Learn how to verify transactions without sharing private credentials. This is education, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
