And there is an element to trust here.  Anyone can clone a coin, but those cloners usually disappear, we have a dedicated development team that's proven themselves.  They've garnered our trust as a community, and we know they'll lead the way through any bumps in the road, pretty much without fear! Whereas I see bitcoin dragged down by fear because they lost their leader in Satoshi Nakamoto.  We know who Evan is, and we'll not let him go, LOL.
