Bitcoin is undoubtedly the world’s most popular virtual currency. When most people talk about cryptocurrencies, they have Bitcoin in mind. But, the world has many cryptocurrencies in circulation today. That means Bitcoin is not the only virtual currency the world over.

Some countries have even created their digital currencies. For instance, China has produced crypto-based money called Yuan Pay. This digital currency has the backing of the Chinese government. And the only exchange allowed to sell this digital currency is the Yuan Pay Group. Perhaps, you can visit the QProfit System for more information.

But even with the introduction of more virtual currencies, Bitcoin’s dominance remains. Here’s why Bitcoin remains the dominant cryptocurrency the world over.

 

The Pioneer Advantage

As the first successful virtual currency, Bitcoin became the functioning blockchain model. Being a pioneer gave Bitcoin a head start. The world has millions of virtual currency users, and most of them use Bitcoin. That’s because Bitcoin had some maturity time before the introduction of the other cryptocurrencies.

 

Liquidity

Markets require liquidity for any currency to work correctly. Healthy crypto markets enable miners to pay for expenses. Merchants can also convert Bitcoin into fiat money. Serious crypto traders can also make large orders. Bitcoin trading volume is the largest because it compares to that of all the other cryptocurrencies. People use Satoshis to measure the values of the other virtual currencies. And this makes Bitcoin a kind of reserve currency in the crypto markets. Thus, most exchanges require new users to purchase Bitcoin before buying other digital currencies.

 

The Network Impact

Naturally, people gravitate towards something popular. As an exchange medium in society and the faith that participants have in it, money is the only measure of value. Network impact is an essential factor for any money since people want to hold and trade what most participants consider valuable. And in the cryptocurrency world, most people want to have and trade Bitcoin rather than the other virtual currencies.

 

Brand Recognition

It’s no secret that Bitcoin is famous as a brand. Some people don’t use this virtual currency, yet they know about its existence. Blockchain technology has drawn attention from many investors the world over. And many people want to explore this technology to understand what it has to offer. However, exploring blockchain without learning about Bitcoin is almost impossible.

 

Value Storage

The proponents of Bitcoin are establishing it as a digital asset for storing value. That’s because this currency has a limited supply. And this makes it compare to gold. Bitcoin owners have complete control of their funds, which provides a hedge against the faltering financial system.

Bitcoin has bear and bull markets like gold and other precious metal. However, people have proven that Bitcoin is good value storage. While other digital currencies may have profitable markets for traders, they lose value over time. Thus, crypto traders and investors may opt to invest in Bitcoin rather than alternative cryptocurrencies.

 

Security

The blockchain technology that Bitcoin uses has proven to be more secure because people can’t tamper with the information in the public ledger or database that this currency uses. Unless a person gets the private key of a digital wallet’s user, they can’t access or transfer their funds.

 

The Bottom Line

Bitcoin has remained the leader in the crypto world for years. It’s not surprising that the media has given this cryptocurrency more hype. And people in all corners of the economy are talking about Bitcoin. The dominance of this virtual currency will continue as more people embrace and use it in their daily transactions.
