There are no other cryptocurrencies that matter. Zcash is already on it's second fork fwiw. As for the spam attacks, we already know our own hired goons are responsible.

Yes, but you have to understand that existing Bitcoin users are not necessarily their target. The target of their confusion tactics are mainly Average Joe newbies thinking about buying bitcoin for the first time, that are completely unaware of Bitcoin's sorted history and bad actors. These are the same people currently reading and believing all those negative MSM Bitcoin articles.

Their goal is to slow down or completely derail Bitcoin adoption. And they think the unwashed masses are easily swayed, which history has proven to be true.

This is all corporate greed. Nothing more elegant than that.
