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.
I think it's just semantics and what name eventually becomes the dominant one in use. Your question could be interpreted in a few different ways. BCH, etc. all originated from the original Bitcoin blockchain, so perhaps the simplest form is to differentiate all subsequent forks as being a different (derived from Bitcoin) name, and perhaps if one of those forks eventually became more favored in common use than the orginal, then the newer fork might eventually come to be called "Bitcoin". If I had my personal preference though, all subsequent forks would be named differently, the way they are done now. A newer fork supplanting Bitcoin, and then becoming known as Bitcoin would be too confusing.
