There are no "cryptocurrencies." There is only Bitcoin. Your comparison is fallacious; there literally cannot be any other blockchains. This is a matter of pure math; the hashing power behind the Bitcoin network protects it from attack, and is much greater than that of all the other altcoins combined. It is trivial for a determined attacker to ruin Sexcoin, or any other knock-off; he needs only to point his miners at it just long enough for the difficulty to adjust, and then go away. The coin will never see another block (the thing the transactions go in).
