Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, has stated that Bitcoin is like digital gold. ETH Is Digital Silver?

Ethereum has often been referred to as the "Digital Silver" due to its position as the second-largest and most popular cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is considered the "Digital Gold," Ethereum's performance over the last seven years has solidified its position as the silver to Bitcoin's gold. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, has stated that Bitcoin is like digital gold.


Litecoin has also been previously referred to as the digital silver due to its mechanism, which is similar to that of Bitcoin. However, Ethereum has outperformed Litecoin and is now considered Bitcoin's biggest rival.


One area where Litecoin outshines Ethereum is in its supply. Litecoin undergoes halving events every four years like Bitcoin to reduce its block rewards and has a maximum supply. In contrast, Ethereum has an unlimited supply, which has raised concerns about inflation. However, the implementation of the ETH burn has reduced the rate at which new coins are being brought into circulation, resulting in a decrease in the ETH supply by 0.33% per year, according to data from Ultrasound Money. This development eliminates concerns about inflation for ETH and further supports the notion that Ethereum is the digital silver.

Bitcoin Vs Ethereum, Which Is Better?

The debate over whether Bitcoin or Ethereum is the better option continues to be a topic of discussion, particularly on social media platforms. However, both of these digital assets have unique characteristics and serve different purposes in the market.


Bitcoin, being the first cryptocurrency, has gained significant support over the past decade and remains the leading digital asset. On the other hand, Ethereum has played a vital role in the development of decentralized finance (DeFi) through the use of smart contracts. This has enabled developers to create financial products that investors can use to manage their wealth without the need for intermediaries. Although this capability is gradually being developed on Bitcoin as well.


Currently, both digital assets serve different segments of the market, but this could change in the future.
