Excuse me, could you please clarify something for me? I've been hearing a lot about USDT and Bitcoin recently, and I'm a bit confused about the difference between them. Are USDT and Bitcoin essentially the same thing? Or are they two distinct cryptocurrencies with their own unique characteristics and uses? I'd really appreciate it if you could explain the difference between them in a simple and straightforward manner. Thank you in advance for your help!

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a decentralized digital currency that does not have a pegged value. Its price is determined by market forces and can fluctuate significantly.
