"this is not worth worrying about Vitalik clearly did think about possibly building Ethereum (or something much like Ethereum) on top of Bitcoin at one point and had some concerns around feasibility ultimately building it on primecoin in a way very similar to how it could've been built on Bitcoin to say Ethereum is a "fork" of Bitcoin is imprecise but in a more conceptual sense (like Tom Lee probably thinks in) it's right--it took the idea of Bitcoin and added smart contracts"
