Yes, there is this difference! We like to say that Bitcoin is one thing, Ethereum is another thing and the rest of Cryptocurrencies are yet another thing. Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized asset! As much as other cryptocurrencies seem to have this idea: they truly are not.
Litecoin for example has the same idea as bitcoin, but we all know its creator: Charlie Lee. The same happens with Ethereum, Solana, Cardano... with that, as much as DeFi (decentralized finance market) exists, both systems have a bit of centralization; but it is undeniable that they are much more democratic and efficient than traditional systems, therefore, they also have their value. In addition to consuming less energy.
To simplify things, we like to say that Bitcoin is the decentralization of money and Ethereum and a few other cryptocurrencies are the decentralization of the internet: allowing the creation of decentralized applications where the users are the ones who govern them and make the decisions based on ownership. of the desired Ecosystem Tokens.
Another important point to say is that bitcoin is a store of value (compared to gold) and it is the only cryptocurrency with this feature! As a result, it is inevitable that it will only gain value over the years - regardless of price fluctuations in the short term.
