Bitcoin is on it's way to being dethroned, and all the better. Horribly slow transaction times, high transaction fees, and the inability for the Average Joe to mine make Bitcoin unsuitable as the king of cryptocurrency.
SteemIt, Zcash, and Ethereum, along with many lesser known cryptos, are superior to Bitcoin. Looking at the market cap as a whole, the price of Bitcoin has went down, but the market cap hasn't. People are wising up and flushing their investments into coins that have a brighter future.
