The simple truth why there are so many hype around bitcoin - it was first. A lot of people think that this is the only one true crypto currency. This is not about tech, this is about status
You don't know how true that is, brother.
There are lots of coins on the market that work better than bitcoin does, but the fact is that none of them are being used for financial transactions, ie, the buying and selling of things. They're just used for trading or holding, so speed and cost of transactions just isn't a concern to the people owning them. Same thing with bitcoin.
So if digibyte has so much to offer that's better than bitcoin, the market will vote on that. So far it's voted that bitcoin is better.
