Why is Bitcoin the biggest cryptocurrency?
This is a genuine question, why has Bitcoin maintained its dominance since its inception?
Is it because:
1. It appeared first.
2. Has the longest time to spread and snowball.
3. Delivers the most on its promises.
4. Satoshi Nakamoto walked away never to reveal who he is.
5. Is so far the most decentralised.
6. Did not have a pre-mine.
7. Offers the highest security compared to other blockchains.
Or any number of other reasons?
I am really curious, had Ethereum, Solana or DogeCoin for that matter appeared instead of Bitcoin, would any other cryptocurrency hold its first position to this day?

Not Every Coin Is Worth Your Money and This Is How I Try to Know
Crypto was really confusing when I first got into it. I heard about Bitcoin, then saw coins like Ethereum, Litecoin, and even Dogecoin, the one with the dog. After that, I realized there were so many other coins doing all kinds of things and it got overwhelming.
I didn’t want to just throw money around so I started learning how to look into projects properly before touching them.
The first thing I learned was how to check market cap. That just means how much the whole coin is worth. I figured out I could multiply the price of one coin by the total number of coins out there. That helped me understand if something was really valuable or just looked cheap.
Next, I always visit the project’s website. If it looks messy or doesn’t explain clearly what the coin is trying to do, I take that as a bad sign. I like to know what the coin is made for. Is it just noise or is it solving something real?
I also try to find out who created it. If the team is hiding their names and faces, I slow down. That kind of thing makes me uncomfortable in this space.
Then I look at the community. I check if people are active on Twitter, Telegram, Reddit, and I try to see what they talk about. If it’s just price hype with no talk about what the project actually does, I lose interest.
I also pay attention to the roadmap. That shows me what the team plans to do over time. Are they testing things? Do they have real updates ahead? If there’s no clear plan, I keep my distance.
And finally, I check if they’re building anything useful or working with other known projects. When I see good partnerships or signs of real world use, I get more confident.
That’s how I’ve been checking coins before putting my money in. It doesn’t mean I always win but it helps me avoid jumping into bad plays.
Hope this helps someone who's just starting like I once did. If anyone else has more tips feel free to drop them. I’m still learning too.

The GENIUS Act -- My analysis. This bill is a big deal. What I think many people are missing.
When you deposit money in a bank, much of it gets lent by the bank to the US government in the form of purchasing US treasuries. The bank then sits on those treasuries and earns some interest when the treasury matures.
The GENIUS act makes it so that now they will be able to use those treasuries as reserves to legally mint their own stablecoins, and they will definitely do so -- it would be insane not to; they're being given permission to mint stablecoins out of thin air. so it's pretty much guaranteed to pump a shitload of bank-created stablecoins into the blockchain ecosystem, which will prop up bitcoin (and the rest of the market, too, but it's looking like most of the smart money is going to bitcoin) in the same way that Tether currently does.
it'll be massively inflationary on basically a global scale (it's literally just banks who own treasuries now being able to magically [and legally\] mint huge amounts of stablecoins out of thin air) but the synthetic money created by it will exert more inflationary pressure on crypto prices vs any other asset class (including goods and services) because it will exist on the blockchain -- it'll mostly be used to buy crypto, at least in the beginning. (eventually you'll probably carry a credit card linked to your bank's proprietary stablecoin, and vendors will accept that stablecoin. I think it's entirely realistic that in 10-20 years it'll be common for people to accept stablecoins in exchange for real estate.)
the trump administration is doing this because a) they know exactly what it's going to do to crypto prices, so them and all their cronies are loading up on crypto, but more importantly b) banks will be massively incentivized to buy treasuries (instead of lending to home buyers and businesses) because they can print free synthetic money with those treasuries and do whatever they want with it (like, lend it out via DeFi or even just buy bitcoin)...so they get your money, buy treasuries with it and get interest from that, and then mint stablecoins and lend those out on DeFi and get interest from THAT, so it's like they get to double-lend your money now...so it keeps the market for US debt strong, and thus interest rates on US debt low. The banks, in a sense, are going to bail out the government. (That seems to be what the govt is hoping for, anyway.)
That's the grand plan to "solve" the US debt crisis without taxing wealth. It's possible it'll work. I kinda don't think it will long-term because there's a limit to how much deposits the banks can collect in order to keep buying treasuries...but whatever. Who knows. Society's probably collapsing anyway in the next century IMO so what does it matter if we just let the global debt explode. Meh. I wish we could just fucking tax wealth and try to intelligently manage the global debt, but the billionaires don't like that idea, so it won't happen, so I guess we're fucked. :(
it has the unfortunate effect that banks won't want to lend to home buyers anymore, because buying treasuries and minting stablecoins out of thin air will be more attractive than lending to retail borrowers, so interest rates for houses will rise, while home prices are also rising due to the inflation caused by all of the synthetic dollars being minted. home ownership will be a distant dream for our children and grandchildren.
I'm not telling you with 100% confidence that this is exactly how things will play out. There could be legislation passed by future administrations that slow or halt the process I've described above. I could just be wrong in my analysis.
But it's clear to me that some smart economists somewhere looked at the debt crisis, said to themselves "how do we solve this without taxing the rich", came up with this plan, and convinced the trump administration (and the tech bros) that this is the way to go.
TBH, I'm scared shitless about what this scheme of theirs means for the world, and I don't know exactly how it will all play out. But I do know

PSA Be careful with Robinhood, they can freeze your account at anytime.
I know a lot of you already know this, that it is a trash platform. But if you’re like me, I did not know they could do this, and they do it often. For any reason they can freeze your account. They froze my account one day, I couldn’t withdraw or send funds. I had to make CFPB, BBB, FINRA complaints and threaten litigation to get finally get my funds back. Plus made a public post about it on X, went full nuclear. Got the funds back in 3 days, though I’ve seen horror stories of it taking weeks/months. I was using it to buy SOL and transfer to my cold storage wallet. Let me know if anyone knows a better platform to use for this, I just made a Kraken account, heard it’s better. Be careful out there.
