I can tell you that price of BTX is very stable and I am glad it is this fast. As a fork of bitcoin, I think it has been doing very well.

It is not a fork of bitcoin. It is an independent blockchain that started fresh with its own genesis block where there was an airdrop of coins to bitcoin holders; but in no way it is a fork. A fork splits from the original blockchain. BTX in no way did that.

Don't elude yourself. It's a fork. It even states that in About window.

Code:

BitCore BTX version v0.15.0.2-gba8ed3a93be (32-bit)

Copyright (C) 2011-2018 The Bitcoin Core developers

Based on Bitcoin Core, Litecoin Core developers work. If it's not a fork, it would be based on something completely else or written from the scratch. It's NOT.

Sure, and it was always wide in the open that Bitcore is based on the original Bitcoin idea and also uses their Core. However since we had a new blockchain and did not start with all the "data-garbage" of the original blockchain, we call it a hybrid-fork. Starting with a real genesis block and an empty blockchain.
Actually you will be able to read in the whitepaper that Bitcore is in many ways indeed trying to follow Satoshi Nakamoto's original ideas.

In a way we could say that Bitcore is the "clean" version of Bitcoin, without a massive garbage-blockchain containing millions of lost coins (example the 1 million of Bitcoins of Nakamoto) and with a much improved code and without the same scalability problems.

Not a fork , hybrid fork , not fork ,

fixes all bitcoin and other direct forks issues ,
read on this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=221111.240

and its quick for phone to phone banking , for the unbanked millions .

at the same comparison satoshis/photons , $8450 USD/ $ 2 USD.

with exactly the same number of coins overall....

do the maths . and see poem in post above.
