What made Bitcoin so successful? How couldn't altcoins like defeat it at the early stages? Is it because of the overwhelming support of the community that made bitcoin what it is today?
The thing what brought bitcoin till here,is that bitcoin is the very first crypto currency and people were like yeah we can go for it as the price wasn't much in the beginning, agreed it had some technical issues but that was also solved and the features of bitcoin was quite appealing to people, so they thought even if it's a fail, what loss will we get and they had very less to lose and the more people joined and this forum also contributed a lot for bitcoin's success. And now here we are with bitcoin 's price revolving around 4000$-5000$.
