I think bitcoin is a digital currency, and bitcoin is a type of online or internet transaction, no one can beat the price of bitcoin, and bitcoin will not become extinct or expire, bitcoin will always be popular and more and more interested in bitcoin transactions in the future will come.
Well the transaction pre second is even still low that ETH and Ripple. Bitcoin allows 7 transactions per second. ETH has an ability to process 15 transaction a second and Ripple is yet ahead with 1500 transactions a second but why are they still below Bitcoin? This is the question and you should know that the success of a technology is not entirely dependent on one factor like you mentioned but so many factors. Some among them are exogenous as well. So it is not possible to outdate Bitcoin for a small currency.
