Once there are multiple viable forks of Bitcoin proper, the idea that bitcoins are rare assets worth investing in will collapse.

Aren't most alts a fork of a fork? How many of them have truly original codebases? (obviously operative word in your comment was "viable", but at a minimum, Litecoin is one viable fork)

Those aren't forks, they are new chains.
