It's sad that there's so much innovation in other cryptos while Bitcoin is the same it was 7 years ago.
Bitcoin's only merit is that it was the first.
We're still waiting for Google to come.
First of all, how can you say that bitcoin is the same as it was in 2009? In fact, it has gone so far. Its first recorded price in exchanges and market is $0.06 way back in year 2010. People at that time didn't even give importance to it, and used it like it was just nothing. According to stories, a man once bought 5,000 BTC at $27.00 while other man bought 2 pizzas for 10,000 BTC. That's weird to know especially that bitcoin has been different today. In a span of 7 years, bitcoin price has grew by 9,170,000%.
Secondly, it is not fair to compare bitcoin with Yahoo in terms of its fate. Bitcoin is a success, in my opinion. I understand how Yahoo failed when it was sold at a lower price a few years after it was offered by a company with a higher price. Bitcoin, in my opinion, is of the opposite case. The losers in the case of bitcoin are those people who bought BTC in 2010 and sold it a lower price, not knowing that its price will still grow to a massive percentage. For me, bitcoin is the Google of the cryptocurrency.
