The only reason Bitcoin is more valuable then other altcoins is first mover advantage. It's the truth if you compare bitcoin to a lot of alt coins on the technical side Bitcoin is lacking heavily. If the Protocol was updated to do something more like a lot of altcoins do I feel this is what would truly make the Bitcoin price sky rocket.
I haven't seen any altcoins with any improvements yet. Perhaps one came along while I wasn't paying attention. Would you mind explaining which "improvement" you were thinking of?
Well i agree bitcoin is king and will stay there but Vertcoin does have a few improvements. 1.Stealth Address 2.Vertverser (spend vertcoin anywhere bitcoin is accepted (Not exactly an upgrade but definitely innovative) 3. More Decentralization
but its at .11$ a coin and has dropped from a high of 13$ a coin, it is more how many people use it and trust it, i trust bitcoin more and would/will put my investments into it and not vertcoin.
