There are literally dozens of bitcoin core alts right now out there but it is very hard to weed out the definition of what an alt is
Nope. There are various Bitcoin forks. But Bitcoin Core is just a Bitcoin client. There is no currency called Bitcoin Core, so there is no fork of it.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/ClientsA bitcoin client is the end-user software that facilitates private key generation and security, payment sending on behalf of a private key.
Actually, there is an altcoin called "Bitcoin Core" now:
https://thebitcoincore.org/Of course, it's just another shitcoin, but this has a very special goal: To use Roger Ver's politician tactics against himself. The point is that Roger Ver usually uses his big megaphone in the form of Twitter, other social media, or live TV appearances, to call Bitcoin "Bitcoin Core", so now whenever he calls Bitcoin "Bitcoin Core", he will be talking about the altcoin called "Bitcoin Core". So the bigger this BTCC altcoin gets, the more exposed he will get for trying to mislead the public, as they will learn Bitcoin. It is pretty funny.
Remember when he used to call Bitcoin "Bitcoin Segwit"? Then he switched to "Bitcoin Core", and if this altcoin gets big enough, he would have to change it to something else. The guy is such a relentless scammer.
Because since they want it to go big, peoples must invest on it for that, so it must worth it.
