Bitcoin is just first mover.
It's funny how much you marginalize the biggest advantage that bitcoin has... Bagholding some crappy alts, maybe? Huh

The vast majority of bagholders are sitting on Bitcoin losses. It's called the "first mover" advantage.

It is just a way to shorten a longer term.  If that upsets you then I can't imagine how you feel about contractions.
