Better money wins or firstmover advantage, chose your fighter

Can someone explain to me how „the best money wins“ and „first mover advantage“ are not mutually exclusive? BTC maxis love to bring up those two points but I have yet to understand how both are supposed to be true at the same time. Either the better money wins; in which case there is dozens of better chains than BTC, heck BCH is right there. Or firstmover advantage is valid but in that case there is no reason for BTC to replace fiat/gold/stocks.

Whats my logical fallacy?
