Meanwhile, we have currencies that were criticized and laughed at here, such as DOGE, LTC, or even Monero, which remain at the forefront and do not lose capitalization with respect to BTC, and make their users, investors and supporters feel safer every day with their choice.

Remember:
Marginal price = marginal cost of block / block reward.
