again with this poorly argued discussion?!!

if everything that came first could be successful and valuable then hundreds of companies and products that were created throughout the history "first and before everything else" would have been the most valuable in the world. but we can clearly see that this is not the case.
for instance take facebook that everyone is talking about these days. it is not the first social media platform out there! there have been lots of others, many that people don't even remember their names. they were "first" but they all disappeared.

not to mention that bitcoin wasn't the first either! it is the upgraded replacement to other smaller and less secure projects that existed before bitcoin came along.
