Here's How Bitcoin Is About to Become More Like Ethereum
With bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), people can complete financial transactions digitally, or they can simply hold coins as they would any other investment. By contrast, other cryptocurrencies like Ether (the tokens that are part of the Ethereum blockchain) have more decentralized finance (DeFi) features, including something known as smart contracts -- but more on that in a moment.
Some investors recognize Ethereum's broader utility, and because of this, they believe it has more long-term upside than bitcoin. However, cryptocurrency investors need to know that a big change is coming to the bitcoin blockchain network. And when it happens, bitcoin will be a lot more like Ethereum than it is now.
