Not particularly. The value of bitcoin right now is mostly from speculation rather than some sort of utility value. With Bitcoin Cash/Eth/Z Cash/Monero its a different story - there seems to be more potential for them to be useful in some way which is not just their own price.

Broadly speaking because of the following. BCH - Actually focusing on increasing num of txns. Eth - Non currency applications of blockchain (most interesting for me personally). Z Cash/Monero - Actually anonymizing txns. These have great impact on legal/gray area/illegal markets.

Ubiquity, only with adoption (ie use) but that's why I think it'll fail. Not actually being used. That, and energy consumption for both mining and tx based on PoW will likely cause it to fail.
-
Given it's been around for 10 years and hasn't proven to be useful, I think that constitutes a form of failure.

Not inherently. It has a reasonable first mover advantage, but some of the alternatives are compelling. It’s a very tricky one to call though

Caveat: I'm a cryptocurrency skeptic. IMO: depends on what one means by "failure". Constant incentive to keep using (coins worth __something__) Always have utility as "settlement layer" that verifies other Tx Succeed as $$ replacement? unlikely. But has mucho utility

network effect of 3rd party development? myspace ceded to fb bc real identity had stronger network effects. but those were walled gardens. given a protocol’s network effect is driven by ecosystem dev, that’d be my guess...
