Yes, do you mean because other cryptocurrencies will advance the cause, or something else?

I believe that BTC along with other crypto assets serves holders with a particular kind of freedom that is unique for this dispensation. Even if we never see mass adoption for 50 years, we who possess these crypto assets eill still remain winner. "one Bitcoin will always be worth one Bitcoin.."😃

there is immense value and rarity in something that is unique, creates value, is a store of value, and can't be counterfeited or duplicated with no limit.

Something extremely rare and valuable in owning something only you have access to and can control which has forward, backward and lateral compatibility and can be converted into other coins, more btc, or even fiat.

I must say @eoinroi, I am loving the process of accumulating assets without regulation. It's my best fit..

Transition Bitcoin Gateway.

Yes, Bitcoin is a transition from fiat towards decentralized cryptocurrencies, blockchains, bit torrents, internet 2.0 systems, new emailing systems, new emerging technology. So, Bitcoin doesn't have to be the movie star to be fundamental, pivotal, in helping people transition over to new worlds, new ways of doing things. Bitcoin red pills people.

Would we have Steem without Bitcoin?

People invest & save in Bitcoin. Later on, they begin creating other alt coins, blockchain systems like Steem & Minds. So, Bitcoin is that door, that window, that gateway into getting awesome people on board. Then, they go on to do awesome things to help many people.

Indirect Hollywood Success?

So, indirectly, Bitcoin is like mainstream but not directly but instead Bitcoin serves as a foundation for other things to be built on and upon to grow off & expand from.

This is such a great statement @joeyarnoldvn! Your metaphors are on fire sir!

Yeah Gold has a crazy advanced UX...
