AdvertisementBitcoin versus EthereumEthereum (ETH) is increasingly being recognized as more decentralized than Bitcoin (BTC), according to Ethereum advocate Anthony Sassano. He argues this trend stems from Ethereum’s ability to implement systemic anti-centralization measures and foster a robust developer and community ecosystem.RelatedSassano highlights Ethereum’s strong resistance to censorship as evidence of its commitment to decentralization. The network’s design includes mechanisms to deter centralization, such as staking and the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Additionally, Ethereum boasts over 170 active developers contributing to its ecosystem, significantly outpacing Bitcoin in this area.With “tail issuance” ensuring sustainable incentives for validators, ETH’s monetary policy is designed for long-term health and network security. Its fragmented but vibrant social layer encourages free and diverse discussions, enhancing its adaptability and resilience. The flexibility of Ethereum’s governance and community allows it to adapt and evolve in response to changing conditions more effectively than Bitcoin.AdvertisementRelatedAlthough Ethereum has underperformed against Bitcoin in this cycle, hitting a multi-year low of 0.032 BTC per ETH on Nov. 21, it has since rebounded to 0.04 BTC per ETH. This ongoing narrative of Ethereum’s increasing decentralization versus Bitcoin’s challenges highlights the evolving dynamics between the two largest cryptocurrencies.Bitcoin’s concerns around centralization, such as mining dominance in specific regions and slower adaptability, contrast with Ethereum’s proactive measures and active developer involvement. While Bitcoin continues to lead in price and adoption metrics, Ethereum’s structural advantages and community-driven innovation may redefine the long-term decentralization debate.cardEthereum ETF potentialBlackRock’s Ethereum-focused ETF now holds $3.5 billion worth of ETH, amounting to 993,591.95 ETH, or 0.12% of Ethereum’s total supply.
