Yes, and from what I understand some people have made Bitcoin competitors that tend to grow. They haven't taken off, because 1) we already have a crypto-currency, and 2) they don't have the "get rich quick with this new currency" because they aren't deflationary so they don't attract the speculators. Some people will say "we need the speculators in order to start the market," but the speculators have ruined the ability to use Bitcoin as a currency. Just because the light is better over there instead of here where you lost your keys doesn't mean you should look over there.
