Thank you very much for your suggestion and provided information, but I will let the opening post as it actually is because this is not so important for the thread, how much of them are still listed or will be in the future on Coinmarketcap. That changes constantly and can't be relevant for too long. Additionally, the main goals are achieved to share the info and raise awareness about all these copycats.
...these coins should be referred to as bitcoin copies instead of bitcoin forks...term fork should only be used when the same project is being upgraded with a new rule or has a rule removed.
so for example bcash is not a bitcoin fork, it is a bitcoin copy.
Of course, I agree with you and that is why I have never mentioned any details about these copycats.
The purpose of this thread was to show:
How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There? of course hard and soft once.
Again, I updated the opening post and added your comment as an additional explanation.
...although the explanation is technically correct but it is a terrible one because it is misleading...
In my opinion, is not misleading, as I explained above, of course, you are free to judge by yourself.
