As a NEWBIE, how would you explain bitcoin as against other offline currencies?
Which one has more market value and why do you think so ?
There are no coins that can compete with Bitcoin in any matter. The whole market of other cryptocurrencies is totally dependent on Bitcoin and its price. Their rise and fall, their adoption and all, it starts and finishes with Bitcoin. So obviously bitcoin will have and has the highest market value and it will always be the same. I don't think there will be a coin which can stand still against Bitcoin, unless Bitcoin surprisingly disappears and some other coin takes its place.
Yes, right bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies very rightly but OP was mentioning offline currencies which I guess he meant USD EURO etc.
so returning to the query of OP at the moment bitcoin is in starting phase of global adoption. Cryptocurrency is the future we are moving towards a whole digital world and in the coming years, it will definitely worth a lot more than the offline currencies(maybe they will no more have their existence in future ).
