The split is getting to frequent lately. I think something should be done to address it.
In an open source community what can be done about it? The only thing I can think of is the right to the use of the name Bitcoin.
enforce the trademark!
make them re-brand.
they're all garbage. bitcoingold? a fuckin zcash rip-off.
it's such disgusting business practice, bordering on scamming. they are playing on people new to the space that don't know the difference.
am i saying bitcoin is the best? no....but come up with your own brand for christ sake.
Seriously though, it is getting absolutely ridiculous how many forks there are for bitcoin now. Everyone's trying to cash in while they can 
It seems this is just a beginning. We may call only bitcoin forks as (alt)coins in the future rather than other coins.
