I'm not a hard core bitcoin supporter, but I believe it is a great long term solution for the world.

Why are there so many forks? Will we get to a point where there are 20 - 50 bitcoin variations.

I see that more and more people are refering to Bitcoin Core, in my humble opinion it is the first and only bitcoin.

What's your feeling.

You are not a hardcore bitcoin supporter probably means you are not a bitcoin maximalist. I haven't been on the sub-reddits for sometime and have almost forgotten whats going on with that group. Whether it turns out to be a great solution or not completely depends on whether its going to really open up the investment/ earning / saving opportunities for more and more people. Regulations remain a hurdle for that.

There are so many forks because anybody with enough knowledge of the code is free to do it.

And this is really not the place to get into the Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash debate but scaling issues for BTC really need to be solved and that is the most exciting developments we need to look froward too. Bitcoin Core supports Segwit and low block size while the Bitcoin Cash group already has a 8 MB block size. Its going to be interesting to see how well they scale with an increased block size. Whether it really increased centralization or will the hardware for full nodes catch up in time.
For the moment, all these questions stand sidelined as BTC seems to be hurtling unstoppably to 20K.

I love blockchain tech, and always look at the new cryptos. I'm a alt-coiner but the recent developments, and price increase in BTC, has lead me to further investigate BTC. I like the idea of bitcoin maximalist.

It appears to me that BTC is the origins of all cryptos, and for that mere fact I want to get my hands on some BTC. Buying the dips, what dips?? whahaha
