People sometimes need no a reason but a pretext to create a coin fork. After the BTC/BCH split the general concept of chain hard forking was discovered and many pointless forks was created.

Hard forking has been around a long time, LTC was a hard fork of Bitcoin, as was Doge. It didn't start with BCH.

Litecoin was a fork of codebase not a fork of a chain.

Alright well ethereum/ethereum classic then, that predates BCH. My point is forking didn't start with BCH.

[–] mudamuda@geddit.social 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, yes. The ETH/ETC split was earlier.
