Bitcoin is like the Apple of cryptocurrency. Sort of. You pay more for the brand, but it's not necessarily the best value in terms of use case. It's only has that high of a price because of its popularity.
I agree with being able to fork and have freedom. The only reason why corporations can meddle with currencies like the USD is because the governance of those currencies is centralized and controlled by certain powers. But just like with the Steemit/Hive debacle we can fork any cryptocurrency at any time.
And if we could fork the USD, we would. xD

Oh man, I remember LimeWire, it's a wonder that 24MB RAM machine that I used to download stuff on can still start up to this day.
