Sorry but I disagree about your analogy with an art piece. An art piece is unique, especially the antique ones made by an artist who is no longer alive. And that artpiece will always be the only one to ever exist. There are many other cryptocurrencies which can do what bitcoin can, dogecoin was made just to illustrate that point.

There are many other artists who can paint. Does not make their art equally valuable.

Bitcoin is essentially unique in that you cannot double spend it.
