Well, up to now any Bitcoin fork who even kept the name (cause let's try to innovate by using the brand name) has turned out ot be a shitcoin. BitcoinSV, Bcash, BitcoinGold etc etc. Which makes sense because you can only create the scarcity once. Everything else is just a copy. There is maybe 20 coins out there that have a right to existence. All others are shitcoins but most are just shit tokens these days minted on 3rd party shitcoin chains.

Well, up to now is the key in that, just because something hasn't come around yet doesn't mean it won't. So I'm just saying being open minded shouldn't be as rare as it is in this space, specifically the BTC space.
Obviously don't accept everything blindly but cautious examination is a good thing.
I can agree with that though I do not think that we'll see another digital currency take Bitcoin's #1 spot. Not in my lifetime anyway and eventually we probably have an intergalactic currency called credits or something.
Btw, I was never opposed to alternative cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin and I today I still don't enjoy that many so called Bitcoiners seem to believe that there is no room for other currencies besides Bitcoin. I remember a time when literally everyone in this space was hanging out in literally every altcoin IRC playing around to see what we can do with this amazing protocol.
Then "small blockers" was phrased by Wu Jihan while his company was mining empty blocks. ETH dropped and with it a flood of shit tokens and all of a sudden there was no coiners, altcoiners, shitcoiners, new coiners, bitcoiners... one thing is for sure. Our human need for tribalism has no frontiers. We even brought it to our space to create a bunch of factions to fight each other rather than our common enemies.
