Whats really going on in the blockchain

I will start this off by saying that this is my theory... but it holds a little wieght. There have been many video's recently released with ways to fork coins. A simple search on youtube will yeild a few to choose from. My theory is that many are trying it right now. Which, is screwing up the blockchain causing delays and lost payments, unconfirmed block rewards and many angered crypto-traders. My answer to all this, is a resounding.... I dont know. Maybe proper crypto ettiquite class at 10 doge a pop? Maybe more reliable node hosting? Maybe a complete shut down of all coins for a week would make people realize that their antics can cause serious reprocussions... I dont know... All I know is... over the last week more coins have been stuck in transactions than made it to their destination
