responding to your topic; For now, NO! A couple of forked coins do have similar properties as compared to Bitcoin... The big difference there is the rapid increase overtime, which hasn't been measured in any of those coin with the same properties just yet.
What if I knew Bitcoin around 2010. I would have more fun seeing how much Bitcoin progresses than getting rich. What do you think is going to develop tremendously in the future? Please leave your comments. Maybe someone will get it right?
no... You'd have more fun getting richer and richer everyday..
