Bitcoin is like the Internet and the personal computer. Welcome to the next revolution Bitcoin is the way to go and more and more people are talking about it.
I'm going to have to disagree and agree with your statement. It's not like the internet because of the fact that there was only one true internet when it was being developed and will only be one true internet and no other "alternative" entities.
Personal computers? Sure. When you consider all the name brands of computers now and days that is true because there is alternatives to the microsoft, mac, etc.
