NFT activity is an important element in the Ethereum blockchain, accounting for most network transfers.<\/p>\n

Demand for Bitcoin in the Ethereum ecosystem has decreased dramatically since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n

The surge in demand for NFTs and DeFi applications is helping Ethereum supporters to muffle the noise of Bitcoin maximalists who have long insisted that only the original cryptocurrency mattered most.<\/p>\n

Since the creation of the Ethereum blockchain, the case for Ether eclipsing Bitcoin has been a recurring subject in crypto.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin maximalists claim that it is still the ultimate type of digital money, stressing that the first cryptocurrency has a valuation of about $810 billion, which is more than twice Ether\u2019s $310 billion.<\/p>\n

NFT Activity Vs DeFi’s<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The crypto market is diverse. Under the domain of blockchain technology are two popular applications: NFT and DeFi.<\/p>\n

Both applications provide huge opportunities in the crypto market. NFTs offer a value proposition while DeFi delivers a platform for financial services and transactions. The engagement in both has risen sharply.<\/p>\n

The primary distinction between NFT and DeFi is that NFT refers to individual digital assets, whereas DeFi refers to the internet-based financial system.<\/p>\n

NFT holds a unit of data that is unique and non-interchangeable, whereas DeFi runs on smart contracts on blockchain on its platform and eliminates intermediaries.<\/p>\n

When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats \u2013 a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley! So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair. Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.
