Why is Bitcoin the predominant one among different forks, such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin SegWit2X?
Is it because Bitcoin is the most original one? Does it have to do with its price? Or does it have to do with its broad, generic name? Or because it's more widely adopted by many companies? In other words, is there some sort of complicated blockchain technology that will always make the Bitcoin most predominant one among different forks regardless of any circumstances? Is it theoretically possible for forks like Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin SegWit2X to be more predominant than Bitcoin in the future? I don't know much about blockchain technology and I wonder if it's ever related to the fact that Bitcoin's the most predominant one.
Simply put popularity, if there is a coin no one uses then no one is going to fork it because there is no interest on it, but if something is popular people are going to want to influence the direction of the project and when they cant they fork, this is a dumb example but think of a very famous song and a song that almost no one knows, there are going to be very few covers and versions(forks) of that song, but if the song is popular you are going to find many versions and thousands of covers in youtube.
