Ethereum is a popular cryptocurrency that was created afterward bitcoin. Ether has similarities with its predecessor, which lie in the very idea of digital money, as well as in the instability of the exchange rate, which is constantly growing. If BTC is just a cryptocurrency, then ETH is a platform for performing various actions, created not only for storage and exchange, but also for depositing, lending, signing contracts using a smart contract system.
