Ethereum still has the most potential in cryptocurrency since it has some backing from developers; and the smart contracts that it has within its network is deemed better than Bitcoin. Cryptocurrency is about the adoption of digital currencies for daily transactions and payments. But a lot of people perceive cryptocurrencies as money making scheme and as a result renders it to be extremely volatile in the market.
Ethereum is more optimized for the software engineer, and Bitcoin is more about being a cryptocurrency, so Ethereum is more of a software development company. Also Microsoft and BP are using Ethereum in different projects and Ethereum has become a source of cryptocapital since it is a cryptocurrency, so it does have some big potential.
Bitcoin’s sole purpose is to be the virtual currency of the internet, and uses blockchain to do this. Ethereum focusses on the bigger problem.
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference.
These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.
This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middle man or counterparty risk.
