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!

Or more like an attempt to get "free money". Developers and whales benefitted massively from forks. It was like a "double-spend", but with coins on different blockchain networks. Some exchanges didn't list all of the forks (especially the low-valued ones), marking the end of craze.

Right now, Bitcoin Cash is the only fork that's still afloat. But if it doesn't innovate, it's going to be left behind in the dust. The competition is fierce with many smart contract platforms gaining traction. There are rumors there's going to be a BCH spot ETF, but I doubt institutional investors are going to show interest in it. I'm certain Bitcoin will outlive most of the "shitcoins". Just you wait and see.

Right Bitcoin Cash left the door open I agree Bitcoin will probably outlive. Most are just copycats not enough innovation beyond them. I guess Bitcoin Cash had the backing the liquidity to last. Litecoin is still around but it doesn't innovate. Litecoin is marketed as the silver to the gold, Bitcoin Cash is marketed as the faster cash version of Bitcoin. I don't think Bitcoin Cash is fast enough and people don't like the idea of it being the real Bitcoin.
