Seriously we had Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, though some argue that one's a scam, and now Bitcoin Diamond all within a 6 month time period? In 5 years how many forks will there be? They should never have forked the coin at all, not even once. They should have created another coin with a different name from scratch. Forking constantly makes the whole thing seem like a big scam from an outsider's perspective.

Forking will lead to another coin eventually taking bitcoin's place in my opinion, though hopefully people don't see that hey, anyone can create any coin they want at any time, so why should I buy this particular coin? There's 15 bitcoin forks here in 2019... what the hell is going on? I like that I can store money without having to worry about unconstitutional civil asset forfeiture, but it seems like the way things are going the blatant greed is showing through. Just another way for people to create a coin they can dump and make their millions, which is fine.. I like making money too, I just hope this short term focus on gain doesn't harm people's perception of bitcoin as a whole. In any case as long as the money is there, people should flock in. 500 billion dollars from a global economic perspective is still peanuts. We could have 2 trillion in combined market cap and it's still peanuts to the global economy.

You are correct, but at the end that is not bitcoin fault, the only fork that I consider a legitimate fork is bitcoin cash and even that fork has many things I do not like all the other forks are not really anything new and you should not be concerned about it, you are right that makes bitcoin look bad and scammy but the ones not changing the name of their forks are the ones doing the fork and we cannot force them to change the name of their forks.

I think name or other thing not really important. That important is all coming from bitcoin fork and that make bitcoin not decentralized in developer side. Why? Developer just want to make money with new bitcoin. Like ponzi scheme.

The fact the forks of bitcoin are not taking bitcoin out of their name is important, most brands do everything to increase their recognition among the population, what it is going to happen when we begin to have massive adoption and then we begin to see people complaining they bought another coin that had bitcoin in their name but that is not the original coin and then they lose money, so you are mistaken the issue of the name is important.
