Bitcoin is crypto but the difference is that blockchain exists because of bitcoin, the blockchain that is used by other coins and other areas today. This makes bitcoin more popular because other cryptocurrencies are copying it and not unique like bitcoin. The founder is not known, nobody know if Satoshi is a group, a man or woman, a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist etc. It has all the characters that can make it prosper.
I like it as the identity of the founder remains unknown, for many competitor's would have done everything within their power to make sure that Bitcoin would never exist anymore and even if it does, it won't be as popular as this, because Blockchain was made up through the creation of Bitcoin, which other cryptocurrencies uses Blockchain but Bitcoin is remains number one, which it won't be irreplaceable by any other coin's, because Bitcoin has done more good in people's lives and if the founder of Bitcoin was known, it would have be easier for the government to be part of it, either by negotiating with the founder or they stop the founder from functioning.
It's a blessing not to have dramas around it.
And Satoshi is happy about it too, I imagine.
