I wouldn't say that.

"Real" in the sense that it is a fork that behaves more like the original developers and early enthusiasts thought "Bitcoin" should.

Imo it makes a lot of sense to at least have the option of using a different chain, considering the mess BTC is in. But whether this becomes a "battle" over market domination is really up to the Bitcoin core team.

Neither coin is dying any time soon I think.

They are all real as long as they are instant and nearly free. So the real bitcoin is no longer "real" becuase it no longer works.

Bitcoin and all the BT(x) money will finally scale one day just as the internet scaled. It used to be imposible to email a video - now we have Netflix and Hulu.
