I have respects for satoshi's vision but not for BTC which was a mere prototype. Coins like Dash were made because BTC couldn't do shit and it wasn't going anywhere. Lot's of coins were made in response to BTC than because of it. Of course BTC opened us doors. But so did Command Line Interface and steam engines.

Some technologies like IOTA, NEM, Maidsafe have nothing to do with BTC.

This is the age of internet. People discover things faster and BTC doesn't give a lot of positive first impressions. Where do people turn to; better coins. #2 reason blockchain isn't mainstream is BECAUSE BTC is the dominant blockchain. Steam engines and fast-efficient railway systems can't coexist. One has to go.
