Go to coinmarketcap, type in bitcoin, and you can see for yourself how many forks there are. Most of these forks are complete garbage that serve no purpose, but somehow people buy it up. I think a couple days ago Bitcoin Candy forked from BCH or something... it's getting kinda ridiculous.
Yeah lol. BCH just created a new way for altcoins to be created, atleast before there was some originality now it's just competing for the bitcoin name. At first fork served the purpose of implementing things that BTC did not have or wasn't ready to get, but now it's just for wanting the BTC name.
