Bitcoin is the world’s oldest cryptocurrency. It was originally conceived in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. A year later, Bitcoin was launched, and after 14 years, the asset reached a market cap with a high-water mark of more than $1 trillion. At its most basic, Bitcoin is an online system of computers powered by blockchain technology that stores and processes financial data. All connected devices (called nodes) host a digital ledger with Bitcoin’s complete history of transactions.
Bitcoin (BTC) has a capped supply of 21 million tokens. The BTC halving schedule, the rate at which new BTC is created, is cut in half roughly every 4 years. At launch, 50 new BTC were generated per block every 10 minutes. After going through three additional halving events, currently 6.25 new BTC are generated every 10 minutes.
Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and goes hand in hand with Bitcoin when studying blockchain technology. Although complex, Ethereum can be summarized in only a few words: a smart contract ecosystem. Smart contracts are an emerging technology that enables users and developers alike to interact on a blockchain network in a decentralized manner without requiring trust. Having the ability to execute a transaction based on preimposed rules is what makes Ethereum so versatile and long-lasting.
The more total Ethereum (ETH) that is staked, the higher the system-wide ETH issuance rate. There is no current capped supply and the current mining reward per block is 2 ETH + priority fees contained within the block. ETH rewards are distributed on a sliding scale based on the total amount staked on the network. Per the ETH Foundation, if 30% of the network staked their ETH, that would result in approximately 3% annual inflation.
