I'll start mining atemerevCoin, launch my ICO and become rich. But in all seriousness, you are correct, and I think this is a good thing. If they can't decide what Bitcoin should look like, fork it, launch all three, and we will soon find out which one people want. However in my opinion, Bitcoin is also an evolutionary dead-end, and the future is Ethereum.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have merits, which is reflected in their corresponding market prices. (Bitcoin is perfect for value storage; Ethereum is becoming an universal financial applications platform).

Market prices are propped up propaganda at this point. Universal what? Please, no.

Financial markets in general are propped up propaganda. We trade expectations. If the prices agree with the propaganda content, most market participants believe it to be true... until something unexpected shatters their belief.

What? No.

Once you believe that dollars are fictitious propaganda then the companies earning all that money must be likewise.

Any logical counter-arguments?

What's so good about Ethereum that would make it the future (serious question, I don't know much about it)?
