Bitcoin maintains its preeminence not only among fiat currencies but also among the other cryptocurrencies.

This article is attempting to use argumentum ad populum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum) in order to support Bitcoin and suggest what benefits it has, and it relies on the bandwagon effect (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bandwagon-effect.asp) as a means of promoting BTC.

In the context it's actually ridiculous to even attempt to use such a fallacy, because using the logic that something is good just because it's becoming popular or is popular would mean that people should continue to use fiat.

While the conclusion may be correct despite this, if you are trying to be persuasive and affect actual detractors of Bitcoin, you should be addressing arguments individually and directly.

Also, use a normal title next time.

so if,lets say ETH becomes the best performer,we should all forfeit bitcoins and become the etherium worshippers?
bandwagoning and judging things according to their popularity is not the best way to do
especially if you are writing articles pretending to be an informative analytical piece
and your caps lock is broken
