Dash? Monero? (less traceable) Bitshares? (much much larger transaction capacity, built in smart contracts, etc) Should I go on? Network effect didn't save MySpace.

So a pre-mined POS & a ripple rip-off are going to steal Bitcoin's lunch money? Please...

Comparing Bitcoin network effect to Myspace confirms my suspicions: you are beyond retarded.
Ok, so humor a retard, Einstein. what's wrong with the comparison? What make a four billion dollar first mover advantage so insurmountable in a world where WhatsApp gets sold to FB for 19 billion?
