I don't think there's any point or future in the forks that simply change the block size or other similar parameters when the Lightning Network [0] exists (i.e. state channels). In fact, I can't think of a better choice than Bitcoin. All PoS blockchains I know of are fundamentally broken in at least one way (however that might change with [1]), Bitcoin is good enough for payments, and the alternatives that support smart contracts usually utilise a broken ledger model (account model [2]). The remaining blockchains are very niche, hence there isn't any viable alternative to Bitcoin AFAICT.
