Yes there are other cryptos, just as there are many fiat currencies... Does the existence of the Indian rupee make the dollar worth any less? Nope.
The thing that makes bitcoin increasingly valuable is TIME. The longer it survives, the more valuable it becomes. The network effects make it exceedingly difficult to replace, just as the dollar's network effects make it sticky.
For the first time EVER we have something better than FIAT... Unlike gold, which suffers from very slow settlement times, bitcoin transacts in real time.
You'd still be early if you bought now by the way. I think its a complete no brainer.
