because when Satoshi released the first btc client it was bug proof, security audited and ready for bank adoption and there was soon a crowd sale taking in millions using the currency.
as an aside some of you guys sound like you work on the local street corner asking for hand outs. which only says to me BTC and the rest need to stay depressed for at least another year just to wash you all out.
can't wait for the new blood to come in.
