⚖️ Key differences
Bitcoin has a fixed supply cap and uses proof of work. Ethereum has no hard cap, uses proof of stake, and its supply can shrink when network fees are burned. Ethereum's value is tied more to app usage; Bitcoin's to its role as a scarce asset.
⚠️ Risks
Both are volatile and exposed to regulation. Ethereum carries extra smart-contract and competition risk; Bitcoin faces questions about mining energy use and long-term security fees.
