Recently, I was talking with some friends and they were talking about bitcoin and shitcoins. So, in the middle of the conversation I realized that was very difficult to explain the recent events about the splits.

For instance, I know there are three models of bitcoin right now: Bitcoin (original project), Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold (coming soon). My real problem is that I don't know how to explain these divisions with clarity.

How can I explain the bitcoin current status to people in order to understand how these divisions work?
