Some say that this is the true value of Bitcoin - nobody can create something similar because it would be too expensive to use the proof-of-work approach of Bitcoin to create a direct competition. All what the competition and state actors can do is to move to a proof-of-stake approach - which may require 99% less energy. This could mean that, while all the other cryptocurrencies will be used to move money, Bitcoin will be used to store money.
When Ethereum moves to a proof-of-stake model it will outpace Bitcoin
