If you have a good reason to switch blockchains, the developers of the clients users actually use should have a good reason to support the switch. If you can't convince people to change, you're stuck with the status quo. That's just a fact of life, not a flaw of blockchains. > Sure I extract a set of the stuff I want and carry on with the new fork, but no one else comes along, their data is lost, so they don't come along. That's not how it works. When you fork, you typically bring the entire history with you. It's the new data after the fork that causes problems. If people don't switch or publish to both, you're stuck.
