Bitcoin was introduced to the market in 2009, initially trading at less than the value of a cent, it has since risen in value to over $50,000, Ethereum, more recently debuted in 2015, has in the space of 6 years increased from $3 a token to selling well over $2000.
Bitcoin offers the titular Bitcoin, while Ethereum offers Ether; however, nothing could be further from the truth.
As well as being a decentralized currency free from government or commission control, there is a limited supply of Bitcoin in the market, ensuring that its value never becomes inflationary.
These features have unveiled a new world of finance called decentralized finance or DeFi, which aims to put total control of digital currencies in the users’ hands.
So the curious investor looking for a long-term investment that is stable and assured should buy into the bitcoin market.
