Bitcoin is known as the king(father) of crypto currencies , but why is that so?
Let's cut the long story short.
When it comes to technical aspects, we might say that other alts outrank btc because some of them have capabilities of transacting more payments, much lower fees, higher market caps and other outstanding features depending to the platform they have. And yet, btc remains the king, why? Simply because it is the
pioneer, the
most adopted, the
zenith. Even how hard the other alts try to improve their platform, they still remain on btc's shadow as long as they don't have the power enough to change people's perspective.
first of all market cap is not even a "technical aspect" it is a fake and meaningless number that is used by mistake to compare cryptocurrencies.
secondly bitcoin is not on top because of either one the things you said. bitcoin is on top because of the features it has and the utilities it is providing otherwise it would have gotten dumped down back to $10 just as useless altcoins do after each pump. the reason why it is keeping its price up is all those utilities and real adoption it has.
and finally the "capabilities" and "outstanding features" that you are talking about in altcoins have so far been added at a huge cost. for example the faster blocks comes at the cost of a gigantic blockchain size and centralization of the nodes. in other words what you see from outside as "better" feature has actually made the coin 100 times worse. and that is why they can't rise up properly.
