Contrary to what popular belief may be, ridiculous proliferation of bitcoin forks are a good thing. The more bitcoin forks out there, the faster the immunization of bullshit will be.
Once people realize bitcoin forks are nothing but a joke, it will only legitimize the real bitcoin even more, similar to how alts have turned into a circus except a few exceptions.
And with that being said, bring as many forks as you want, it was never a problem.
I think you are right. With just one altcoin using the bitcoin name the damage is already done. Having many of these alts stresses that they are just alts.
