I've been wondering if the creation of all these tokens is counteracting the hard upper limits on Bitcoin as a SOV? Bitcoin itself has a limit of 21 million, but with all of the forks happening in the future, there could be at minimum 63 million coins between the different versions of bitcoin. If this continues, would it not be similar to printing up your own currency like the Fed does?
