> it's more like a company cloning itself but adopting a different vision/mission, and awarding shares to all existing shareholders.

And that doesn't sound... insane to you? I mean, skipping the problems with physics where a "split" company would have to clone its employee talent pool as well: such a company would share the same products and the same markets and the same sales channels and have zero share of all of those at the start. And you're saying that a "healthy market" would be expected to bid up shares of that crazy reincarnated zombie company thing to like 20% or whatever of the original value? Based on "different mission"?

This is crazy, and I want no part of it. The coin community is literally inventing phantom cash and pretending like there's no bubble. How often has that been true in history?
