Introduction to Bitcoin and Ethereum:

Bitcoin:

Bitcoin was introduced in October 2008 through a white paper published by an anonymous person (or group of people) known as Satoshi Nakamoto. The white paper released is called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” The inception of Bitcoin was based on Blockchain Technology. Bitcoin has been primarily used in the transmission of digital assets between distributed peer to peer systems. All transactions on this distributed peer to peer digital system have been done in public ledgers that are unalterable and untraceable at any point in time.

Ethereum:

Formed by Vitalik Buterin in the year 2015, Ethereum represents a decentralized platform that runs Smart Contracts which are exactly as programmed by Ethereum developers without any possibility of fraud, censorship, downtime, or third-party interference. It is best suited for decentralized applications or dApps.
