Bitcoin is already a leading cryptocurrency. Its complexity in use is more than offset by its functionality and safety.
Stable coins belong to certain companies that may be closed if they violate the law, that is, they are centralized, which means it adds additional risks if you store your funds in the form of stable coins.
For me, that is because bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency being created and also it is the most used cryptocurrency. Just think of it that bitcoin was being used in so many aspects, bitcoin as an investment, bitcoin as their bet when playing gambling, bitcoin as a payment for something you bought or when you are making a transaction. I can say that it is also because of bitcoin being famous all around the world because we can use it everywhere and we only need an internet connection and a device to access it.
Bitcoin mining is really expensive, but i think even other people had been using other source of electricity in bitcoin mining it is still not enough because an equipment in bitcoin mining needs to be working 24/7, so it needs really needs a huge amount of electricity.

experiencedIndeed, bitcoin is also being mined but just like what you said if you are paying for electricity bill, you might not want to get involved with mining because when you actually do that you might not get any profit and you can lose your money instead by paying internet bill and an electricity bill, maybe you can do that if you have your own source of power to provide for your mining.
