...I made a review about Bitcion SV and Bitcoin Cash and i thought those were the only forked coins of bitcoin not knowing the exist numerous of them...

As you can see, I haven't mentioned BSV in my article and I did it on purpose because BSV is a hard fork of BCH, not BTC!!!

As you already know, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) started as a response to the Bitcoin scaling problem and in November 2018, forked again because there was still an ideological debate in the BCH community about the scalability and final size of the block (was actually 32 MB), which led to the creation of Bitcoin Cash SV (BSV), with the block size of 128 MB.

Many people think that BCH and BSV are the most known BTC hard forks, but this is not true and BSV is a hard fork of BCH.

Why is Segwit in the first picture? It didn't create a chain split, it was a protocol upgrade for Bitcoin...

That was already mentioned and as you can see we are talking about Bitcoin Forks (hard and soft) to not confuse people too much.

Not from every fork, there was a new altcoin born and that is why I am talking about forks, which means both possibilities.

I already edited my opening post accordingly.

Bitcoin XT, Unlimited, Classic & SegWit...should be categorized as planned hard fork/network upgrade.
...will do my best to adjust all info in the opening post, but I will wait for more comments... there are links provided (overall) to sources and all of them describe these once mentioned by you, as hard forks...provide any other sources, with different/counter information and conclusions...Already removed the word "hard" in a couple of sentences to adjust accordingly...now is only "fork" which can mean soft or hard.

BSV is the only relevant chain, cause it is the refactored original protocol that is the legal and stable true BitCoin...

I hope you're kidding, and if not, it's a total BS.
