List of Cryptos with a Bitcoin Name Note : I only list the top 10 based on rankings of coinmarketcap and coingecko. Both markets contains a 100 or more with a Bitcoin's Name. Just check it. 1. Bitcoin (BTC) 2. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) 3. Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) 4. Bitcoin SV (BSV) 5. Bitcoin BEP2 (BTCB) 6. Bitcoin Gold (BTG) 7. Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) 8. Bitcoin Standard Hashrate Token (BTCST) 9. Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA) - It's rebrand now and became Ecash 10. RSK Smart Bitcoin (RBTC) Why there's so many Bitcoin name or variation? 1. Reputation - some creators/devs riding only the reputation of Bitcoin Example : Most of the coins/tokens use the name of bitcoin to gain popularity which same as happened to Dogecoin. 2. Forking - which creating a project based or using the old / existing code (If you know Github, you have idea about this) Example : Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV and Bitcoin Cash ABC 3. Tokens - some are tokens which paired or bridged to Bitcoin for trading/exchanging Example : Bitcoin BEP2 and Bitcoin Standard Hashrate Token 4. Scamming - of course one of the reason is to scam people Example Bitcoin Black and Bitcoin Platinum Source: maketecheasier Note: - Remember Naomi Brockwell said "different cryptocurrencies are optimized for different purposes". Even their name is based on Bitcoin, they have different use cases/purposes. - If you want to know the full information of these coins/tokens, then DYOR (Do Your Own Research). * So true, when I saw Bitcoin Gold, Diamond and Platinum - it looks like a Pokemon Game.xD #Cryptocurrency

Nice list and good to know!
You undeservedly forgot about Bitcoin Candy (CDY). We are 1) first BCH fork and Bitcoin Cash community friendly from the start ( not this SV & BCHA attacks on chain 2) survived at crypto winter 3) tradable 4) still possible to claim for old BCH holders.
