Well in that regard you are right!

It began with the differing opinions within the Bitcoin community in regards to whether Bitcoin should become a widely used currency for regular day-to-day transactions, or for it to be instead, as a valuable asset class, such as gold. I would much rather it be used for a day to day wide-spread use currency as the issue with Bitcoin is it's lack in intrinsic value.

It's intrinsic value however, could have been derived from it's use as a currency. However, since there is such a differing opinion on what Bitcoin should be, why not both?

As such, I see forks as pain but necessary processes the growth and evolution of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies alike.

Cheers!
