The "there can only be one" camp of Bitcoiners do not understand that altcoins supporters don't necessarily think that any altcoin will overtake Bitcoin in value. I can't speak for everyone, but I believe that Bitcoin will always be the "one" cryptocurrency, the crypto reserve currency.* But there will always be room for a few more cryptocurrencies that are adopted widely just like Bitcoin. These cryptocurrencies will have independent economic models and not pegged to Bitcoin and will have a free-floating market price.

All true, except you conveniently didn't mention the free-floating market price of all these reinvented wheels will be free-falling down to zero as bitcoin matures.

Sperm is a fun analogy. There are currently lots of swimmers furiously trying to get to the egg of mass adoption. Once the strongest fights its way in the rest will fall away.

Well said!
