Bitcoin's held the top spot mostly on being the first and the most recognizable. Honestly, I think that first-mover advantage and the brand recognition will probably keep it on top for quite a while, at least as far as most people are concerned.
Common sense says if a crypto actually does something useful, beyond just sitting there hoping its price goes up, it's got a better shot at sticking around. That's why we see so many groundbreaking, problem-solving projects with solid fundamentals mooning overnight, right? Not because of some viral TikTok or a celebrity tweet. Nope, it's all about the utility. Right? RIGHT?!
