Once thing I've noticed about Bitcoin is that there are many "alt-coins" that seem to deliver better on Bitcoin's promises from a technical perspective, but those coins are forever stuck in Bitcoin's shadow because BTC has that first-mover advantage. And as a currency, the first-mover advantage is HUGE, because who wants to convert their investments from a hugely popular coin to one that could disappear tomorrow?
So everyone seems stuck -- we agree cryptocurrency can be an amazing idea, and the first version of it is something of a technical (and economic?) miracle, but now we're stuck with the V1 flaws forever (unless the group governing it decides to 'fix' those flaws, but there's another issue, I don't want you messing with how my money works...)
