How can there be any cryptocurrency which is better than the Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the original crypto, while the other shitcoins are shameless copycats. A few of the altcoins, such as Litecoins and Namecoins can be trusted, but they by no means are superior to BTC.
Bitcoin is the original one, doesn't mean it is the best.
We all know that bitcoin is not perfectly, there are some coins really improve bitcoin.
But as the best, I think there is no best, just better.
Bitcoin is having some minor flaws, such as the 51% attack issue. But ever since its creation, none of its flaws have created any major problems for the users. And it is likely to remain as such in the near future as well.
I agree that some of the altcoins have been created to remove these flaws. But there is no need as of now, for a "perfect crypto". Bitcoin will do the job, even with all its minor bugs and defects. If we adopt a technologically superior coin, then what will happen to all those Bitcoin-based businesses and ventures? They will be left with Billions of USD in loses. Let's just stick with Bitcoin.
Makes no sense. During the .com bubble, there were companies being funded for hundreds of millions to billions of dollars, all now lost and down the drain. One cryptocurrency having a headstart doesn't mean it'll be at the top forever.
Also, the only companies that would be hurt if Bitcoin is superseded by another crypto would be the companies and websites branded only around bitcoin such as those with names like "bitcoinblahblah.com", and they are very few and insignificant. Websites like blockchain.info, circle, etc, are not branded around bitcoin, they accept bitcoin, so bitcoin losing 1st place wouldnt cost people much money at all.
