Personally, I welcome every damn fork the developers want to create. Why? Because that'll be one more coin I will own. Simple as that. Eventually, the value of the collective will be more than the value of one. So...bring them on!
Why do you think the collective value would be higher?
It's maybe true just in the short-term...
BTC is strong cause many people use it and believe it has value. Many forks can change that
