Forking the Bitcoin network is a tried and tested attempt to create a coin to rival
Bitcoin which has proven to be futile. All previous forked coin performances and
acceptance has shown the trust lies with the project with the 100% security performance.

Forking the Bitcoin network now would be seen as a folly!
It was not an attempt to create a rival coin but to scam people who don't know better. Don't confuse competition with malice.

I don't think anybody who created any of these forkcoins ever did it to actually rival bitcoin even if they advertised it as such (like bcash guys). They are like Chinese rip off products, they aren't making those to rival the original brand and to gain superiority in the market. They are doing it to make some money from anybody who is foolish enough to buy their rip off.
Agreed. Roger Ver is a scammer.

Bitcoin Cash should have been merge mined perhaps.
It didn't need to become a thing at all. I'm glad that it is dead.

It's not dead yet... Instead of trying to be the next Bitcoin they should try to assist it. The higher Bitcoin goes the better for most altcoins. That's why I propose another name and see kill all copies of the next one who tries. Could call them Neocoins or Subcoins. Not here  to repl s Bitcoin but to help it blossom.
