I honestly don’t understand why they are compared this way. It’s like comparing apples to oranges imo. They have different use cases
Ethereum is far from perfect, but Bitcoin can’t do smart contracts

Sure, but here we’re talking about the monetary policy…
Thanks for the reply!
For me, it’s the way it’s framed. “How to explain Ethereum to new Bitcoiners” seems like a misleading title when all it talks about is monetary policy. I agree that’s a strength of Bitcoin and a weakness of Ethereum. Bitcoin has no competition there. Ethereum’s value lies in it’s smart contract functionality, which isn’t mentioned
Bitcoin has smart contracts. That's how lightning is implemented. Also Bitcoin now apparently has NFTs, which is stupid, but that's where we are.
Love lighting! ⚡️I missspoke, Bitcoin can do some smart contracts, but it’s functionality is more limited
As far as ordinals, still not sure how I feel about them. Find them fascinating, love that the art (as atrocious as some of it may be) is on-chain, but don’t want Bitcoin to get overrun with NFT traders and speculators
I do love the potential of NFTs though. Thought they were stupid until I realized they could be a source of income for artists and musicians, especially those in developing nations. And I also like to collect stuff and they don’t take up space, lol
