it is so absurd that they keep advertising "Satoshi vision" and talk about being the "original" while they are betraying the first and most important thing in bitcoin which is consensus (that is a part of being decentralized). basically they started the movement that any idiot with 1 to 5% hashrate started creating a fork of bitcoin and called his shitcoin the "real" bitcoin.
what you never see them talk about is how they are showing a middle finger to the "majority" by doing that. it is like if in a country 99% of the population voted for president X but Y were put in the seat of power instead whilst talking about democracy!
not defending ver or wright coin, as they have no big merchant adoption.. but, even the likes of luke JR and greg maxwell admit that the august 2017 event was a TWO WAY SPLIT
to me all this drama is like comparing american dollar with canadian or australian or even zimbabwe dollar. where some cry babies are crying that people dont like others using the word dollar. even though no one should own completely and exclusively the brand dollar, not even USA.
(analogy swap dollar for bitcoin, swap usa for core, swap canada for ver, swap australia for wright)
segwits code is not the same as the pre split code. meaning the post-split code is different. so yes it is a

also looking at the timestamps of the blocks of the split. cores blocks split first. and then vers coin reacted HOURS later.even the social drama shwows that core devs wanted a split first by talking about such months earlier.. and vers coin was only a reaction a few weeks befor the split.
i only say this because so many people wanna kiss ass soo much that facts get blurred out and over exaggerations start forming to try making one side or the other seem better/worse then they are
if you could sit on the fence and see both sides. your vision would be clearer
take the august 2017 split. to get the "99% core control" by november2017 which pooya87 mentions above. core had to mandate off controversially not just 1%, not just 5% but alot more than that in august 2017
the august 2017 was not a 99% vote for core. again even luke jr and greg maxwell know and mentioned it.
anyways
vers coin and wrights coin dont have merchant adoption or any real world publicity. so just leave them in the altcoin discussion category
if you want to continue to cry about that only core should own brand bitcoin. then you failed test one of decentralisation.
think about the word 'dollar' and its multi community usage in the world as an example analogy, it might wake you up
and if so why there is only one line to bcash even after 2 forks and not two lines?
you are not honest even to your shitcoin propaganda.
edit: i forget.... this forks are "upgrades"....
