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.

Indeed you never know what is going on in non public spaces but it is the first one that did it right from the beginning and gained the traction needed to grow.

No op not only, it are the rules inn play that count also and the trust that come out of it.
