> There are 21,000,000 Bitcoin ever ever ever. Provably false. Bitcoin has been forked into multiple chains numerous time, creating many more then 21 million tokens. Given that there is no trademark on the term "Bitcoin", some of these forks can rightfully claim themselves to be The True Bitcoin. In addition, there are thousands of other non-forked blockchains that are nearly identical to bitcoin, save for a few minor configuration changes. > Bitcoin is rare and digital. Absolutely false. Bitcoin is digital and infinitely creditable. This has been proven over and over again.

Your original point was correct, you dont understand Bitcoin.

i think you're arguing semantics. if most people dont view the forked chain as valid and prefer the original, then a new bitcoin isn't created per se.

  That's why BTC's value went down when BCH forked, right? Even a moderately successful fork will hurt BTC's value.

    You mean when it dropped $400 for a few days before starting its bull run to $19,000??

    It actually went up, somehow.

> Provably false. Bitcoin has been forked into multiple chains numerous time, creating many more then 21 million tokens. This is absurd. You could say the same for the dollar and the canadian dollar. You seem to think a new currency devalues every other currency.
