  >Newly introduced cryptocurrencies are likely to be "small" by necessity not if you fork. see: bcash's price of ~0.1BTC upon forking.

    small can be defined in terms of hash power

    If it's so easy so fork a cryptocurrency at high value, why don't you make a crypto fork that's worth 0.1BTC.

  Right, and what is that value, beyond additional speculation?

    Different technical solutions solving the problems of scalability, privacy, smart contract execution, governance, sidechain platforms, language and runtime improvements, etc. In any other tech, there exists a myriad of competing technical solutions, why should crypto be any different? And why should you presume that speculation alone is the driver behind all of them?
