git still works pretty well, I just wouldn't try to use it as a bank account.

Well, Git's also not a blockchain at least in the way commonly meant by the term. But yeah, it'd be a pretty bad bank account (and an even worse way of doing money transfers.)

You can fork a blockchain by building a ecosystem with a different consensus.

Any blockchain is easy to fork, just have a fully copy of the chain and make a new block.
