What people are overlooking is that it's really easy to start a new cryptocurrency. There's no reason why the first mover should remain dominant for ever, or even that there needs to be a single dominant global cryptocurrency for all purposes.

This is only a valid argument if it is hard or too expensive to exchange between first and nth mover.
