You could say that Clashic was that. But now with Bitcoin Core (BTCC) it's more of a mixed thing, some people are for the luls and some including some devs want to try scaling and privacy on-chain without all the frauds and lunatics of BCH
and those are the same feelings of a lot of members on TG and Discord.
(Plus who could say no to Ver's free promotion on CNBC etc.
)
Game respect game.
"including some devs want to try scaling and privacy on-chain without all the frauds and lunatics of BCH"
Can see this being useful. Have long thought of litecoin as sort of a testnet for Bitcoin. BCH is something different entirely, with many Bitcoin supporters are turned off by it. Devs will feel more comfortable tinkering with this new coin vs. BCH. Would be nice to see more tinkering and less trolling, but the market will decide.
We loathe the fork market. Our tool is mostly used by maximalists that are thinking something along the lines of "I can't believe how lucky I am that the market values cheap copies of Bitcoin with positive valuations. I'll gladly trade these forks for more Bitcoin"
We think our service does a positive thing for the crypto ecosystem, i.e. getting more users on the "ask" for these mostly worthless forks, hastening their eventual return to proper valuations (close to 0).
It wouldn't be a terrible thing for this market to end and we can all get back to building useful things on top of Bitcoin.
