Bitcoin May Split Many Times in 2018

Most of these forks add nothing of value. I don't see forks replacing ICOs at all, as the article suggests - they serve different purposes (besides the fact that both may serve as a pure money grab by unscrupulous parties)

I saw one exchange charge 0.5 btc to list and support new forks but charge 0.1 btc, if it was an ERC-20 Ethereum token

Presumably because it’s less work to support ERC-20 tokens. I don’t think you’d need to run a separate full node for each token.

not only that ERC-20 is a standard, so apis and bots are easy to write on top of them, ever more reason why forks won't replace ICOs
