Why is bitcoin the most popular cryptocurrency?

[IanDev]

This is called by economists "first mover advantage."

Google it.

Internet currency, not attached to geographical position, political situation and economic changes. Military drunks and actions of the state regulator will never affect the value of this crypto currency. The only criterion that can affect the rate of bitcoin is the ratio of supply and demand.
Bitcoin is comparable in its value to oil or gold. It is created with the help of computer algorithms, which are very difficult to compose. As a result, the rate of entry of BTC into the market is very limited, as well as the amount of currency, its number can be as low as 21 million units. That is, bitcoin is a limited commodity, like oil or gold.

Because it’s the first and most decentralized of them all?

I believe that they're popular mainly because well it was the first of all cryptocurrencies to be made. Honestly most of the other coins are scams and greedy ways that the developers make money. The only other coin I can think of that isn't a scam are dogecoins! What do you think?

I think is bitcoin is the oldest so definitely it has already itself. And now people are going into bitcoin because the price really surge in the last couple or years or so. While others try to catch up with bitcoin, however the hype on that coin died down and we didn't see the so called flippening. And more people are also learning how to earn bitcoin through trading and investment portfolio as well.

Like Gold, when the people still think Bitcoin has this value, its value still high like now. But until the world set the new (low) value for Bitcoin, I will not be surprise to see it below $1,000 again if the Bitcoin price is really a bubble value.

Probably because it was the first one, the pioneer, which means it had more time to establish itself (its been on news outlets more than any other crypto, and most people will relate cryptocurrencies with BTC).
Its high value also makes it more attractive / more "popular", but just being the most popular doesn't make it the best.

In addition, the extraordinary price increase makes bitcoin even more popular. It's a hard blow for the underestimate of bitcoin. Of course, the main reason is that bitcoin is very effectively used in the digital age.
