Looks like bitcoin is starting to look life fiat more and more.
We have banks (online wallets), a central bank (the devs) , a banking cartel (miners) and now free money printed out of thin air.

Bullshit. Devs do not have power to decide how scaling is implemented. This is why we have a consensus system. And BCC is not "free money printed out of thin air", it's a 1:1 fork of BTC with a different block size and different characteristics.

If we went by your logic I could create fifty 1:1 forks of BTC and claim that they're all "real" Bitcoin. But they're all completely separate things which only the free market gives value, and they're not an increase of supply at all.

Online wallets also do not give out loans in which they conjure money out of thin air, and the coins that you hold in an online wallet are at least supposed to represent real coins that the wallet provider holds, whereas in a banking system the digital money does not represent real cash, and the real cash does not represent real assets. They're simply not comparable at all.

Every altcoin is a bitcoin fork actually. You may even call them airdrops

bcc is no different than the other alts.

Even more bullshit than what he said. LTC is a separate altcoin with a separate blockchain. BCC is copying the blockchain at the time of the fork and can be accessed from BTC private keys. BCC could be regarded as an "airdrop" (I would not consider it that), but LTC most certainly could not because people have to buy into the completely new coin.
