Stop, wait, wuuuut?
Bitcoin is just a application where the block chain is used as a value/currency.
You ought to see that using blockchain as a currency is like.. driving a koenigsegg, but never faster then 10mph.
BTC will never be able to take the leap that a new coins with better features will be able to do..
Some of these new coins is what will change the game of crypto. THEN you'll get the btc-race you really want.. (for a while)
