General-Purpose Programmability : While Bitcoin’s scripting language is like a basic "calculator" limited to simple logic, Ethereum features the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which acts as a full "computer" capable of executing complex code.
Turing Completeness : This means that, given enough resources, Ethereum can perform any computation that can be logically defined. It is a universal platform rather than a single-purpose tool.
The Dual Role of Ether (ETH) : Within the network, ETH is not just a "currency" like Bitcoin; it serves as "Gas." To have this global computer run your programs, you must pay ETH to power the computation.
