As discussed its first mover advantage. Most people outside of the world of crypto have heard of nothing but Bitcoin. They are unaware of the 900+ alt coins out there. Granted most are just clones of bitcoin anyway, but the point is, if we really want crypto to reach mass adoption we need to stop forking (or creating alt coins) every time we see a slight advantage. If I created a rival to Visa with fractionally lower fees, or slightly faster transactions, no one would care. Its all about the network effect and the name.

If you want crypto to succeed, back bitcoin. Improvements can come later.
