We have coins with some awesome project, so why is btc regarded as the king of coins and it's so unique than others?
Bitcoin is number 1 because it was first and gained a huge first mover advantage that most likely will not be overcome. Bitcoin has gained a trust level and all these scam projects appearing are just solidifying Bitcoins position further. The scam ICO's really helped Bitcoin concrete its legacy as it's one of the only coins you can 100% trust.
