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?
Maybe what Bitcoin make it successful is that people now understand the digital currencies or crypto currency then are now understand the internet that make it possible that they trust Bitcoin unlike in the past years internet was just starting to understand by others. Also maybe some are trying somethings to make their investment grow. Also some famous person helps the Bitcoin community/industry to become trusted by other people.
