It is mainly the name, and that is very important because many people who are just starting out in the market, only know Bitcoin, and therefore invest their capital in it, it is practically the main form of capital input to the market.

The other factor Bitcoin has is liquidity for big players.

Someone is not going to dump $50M in STEEM with only a $1B market cap...they can do that with BTC and still be able to get out if need be.
