Seriously, if we just look at how many hardforks bitcoin will get this month. Will that have a positive or negative impact on bitcoin?

I can imagine, now that bitcoin becomes more and more mainstream, that more forks will follow next year. However does a negative hardfork impact bitcoin in the future?

we need only 1 bitcoin and other only altcoins not forks.

if we need forks max will support only one "bitcoin cash".

NO! So many greedy try to stir up the whole market with fast cash grab by fork BTC. People are tired of this trick, already.

I am personally, SO SICK, of all the btc forks. I think each one is a more desperate money grab than the next. And I honestly think they only harm the crypto community.

I personally refuse to support by trading, mining, or dealing with btc hardfork coins ...

I think that in time all forks will be bad as it draws strength from bitcoin and adds competition, thus diluting bitcoins market share. Of course many of the forks are going to be fairly redundant but some of them are capable of harming bitcoin going forward. Although the other way to look at it is to see it as competition to push bitcoin to continue to improve.

Please send a site where I can find future hardforks of bitcoin. It's good opportunity to earn money on hardforks

So true!They are trying to manipulate the price before fork and after fork they can gain profit 😒

Only necessary for those who make fork. Quite unnecessary for everyone else. Ofcourse we dont need!
It just causes the pollution around. We see a new fork news every day :)

We never need a bitcoin fork, not even once! The deal here is that some group of rich and celebrity people dreams about a crypto ecosystem where they have fully control of it. That's how the forks exist in bitcoin.

Can someone explain me that why everytime when bitcoin is forked and new coin is created, total market cap of bitcoin and its forks increase? While it should be stay same. Then there is a actual value, we can't simply call them trash or useless.

All these forks are just for a very easy money grab cashing in the name of bitcoin.
No way to stop these but these are  affecting the value of bitcoin to go up only.

I agree.
Only the fast money shine in the eyes. Is sad.

Actually forks can't be stopped because anyone willing to make small changes in bitcoin can fork bitcoin as it is open sourced. We have already seen 100s of forks before and there can be 100s of the them in future too, all the coming forks you have highlighted will not bring any significant improvement in bitcoin so they are just another altcoin which might not hold any value at all.

As an ETH fan, I'm happy for all the BS BTC forks. Each one will be less valuable than the one before and eventually the BTC forks will be so watered down that they will be like the ETH airdrops on bitcointalk (which is essentially worthless).

You can already see this from Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin Gold to Bitcoin Diamond (futures). The more BTC forks, the less attention they will get. Hopefully helping ETH.

Just been said above by some people,Me also is already tired of these forks which this just only an alibi to make significant changes on bitcoin but it appears that this is just a scheme on making even more money just like we do saw on past forks which I don't really see any changes on what they are proposing which turns out that those forks are just useless and nothing special at all. Even no matter how many forks would come out then they are just still be an altcoin.

Bitcoin doesnt need more forks but that wont stop more forks from happening.

Agree. Hopefully people are getting tired of this concept soon.

Maybe the next scam cycle is crypto kitties copies.  :D

Most forks are irrelevant, they add nothing new to bitcoin and are not innovative, so we not only do not need new forks, we do not even need the ones that were created recently but since anyone can copy & paste the code then everyone can create a fork and think of himself as a developer.

do not need it, it's just a popular way of distribution at the moment, but it's bad that they get the capitalization from scratch

Everybody can fork the chain and go on their own way. Majority decides what is beneficial. Most forks are dumped in exchanges pretty quick anyway. More forks doesn't hurt real Bitcoin. I wouldn't complain about that. When people realize these forks are useless maybe they will stop doing that.

I'm holding BTC for long time. I like forks) Easy money from nothing) just bonus for patient)

no i dont need it, what we all need may be air drop BTC please, to some poor guy like me..lol ;D, just imagine

The answer to the OP question is definitely mixed. Some say that fork is useful for us to buy Bitcoin and start Bitcoin investment. But maybe there are some people who think that fork is harmful and they do not want fork anymore. Usually people who have invested into Bitcoin will not want any fork to happen and they just want price increases to happen on Bitcoin. There are also some people who panic when the fork, usually such people are newbie who is still new to the world of cryptocurrency. But for some people who work to get Bitcoin, fork is nothing because the payment is the same.

yes because a poor like me can benefit all forks because it can provide me some bucks on it

I agree with these comments!
we bitcoin holders don't need these ridiculous get-rich-quick scheme forks
but those greedy devs of forked coins surely want it bad so they can profit and dictate rules on their own chains
what was and will happen is people would claim these forked coins and soon or later will dispose/convert to BTC
in the end it would just drive BTC price to go up even higher and those forked coins to die slowly

I would say claim your share on those fork chains, dump it and forget it
never look back and regret your decision even if those forks get price pump now and then
if you participate in those pumps, you might ended up losing and just help prolonged the life of those forks

Forks are just a way to form new currency but for now there is no need of more fork as it every time makes a new coin on bitcoin algorithm but its not a success. Every time they try to make another bitcoin but its impossible to do so. Most of the forks have created coins which just have the name of bitcoin with it but has no success. Bitcoin is a very big currency and no one can replace it is any way. I don’t think there is any need of more bitcoin forks.

The forks do not solve the problem of long transactions. People continue to use bitcoin original and do not want to pay attention to the forks. Forks are good only because we get free coins, that's all.

Most of the forks done are not having any major initiative behind their reason to fork from the bitcoin blockchain. The bitcoin cash fork did have the block size increase and is surviving because of the bid whales who have invested in it. The other forks are not worth and will not have any potential value in the future. There many upcoming forks which will be increasing the people's capital amount but most of them will be dumped as soon as people receive their forked coins. These forks are going to turn out waste of time as people will still continue to use BTC and dump the others.

We don't really need any fork of bitcoin unless something goes really wrong, all these forks have just been a way for people to ride the bitcoin wave and make a quick buck, there are three or four this month none of which will be around next year.

In short time, hard forks will make Bitcoin price go up. And the truth is that Bitcoin has reached over $16000 now. But in my opinion, they create hard forks to get profit instead of improving Bitcoin weaknesses. There are too many "Bitcoins" now and most of them are unnecessary.

one way or another each fork brought Bitcoin user a certain income, because even Bitcoin will come out had or has some value. But for today I'm shocked by the fact that when I saw a price of $ 16,000 for Bitcoin, I probably still pay attention to all the predictions.

True, this is why i do treat these forks are meaningless instead on making upgrades or solution it do end up on just creating a new altcoin which do have a bitcoin name attached to it and nothing new.Most people do like it specially on hoarders of BTC because this would really give them easy money or quick buck when theres a fork but still ends up on cashing it out since peoples loyalty would really still remain to bitcoin.

There is no need to buy if one can get them during forks

The only thing I disagree with this is that this damages crypto, because that assumes that the forks are powerful, the only powerful forks are bitcoin cash and in a lesser degree bitcoin gold every other fork is just a piece of valueless trash that are not worth our time.

We dont need another btc fork. We only need segwit2x but its failed already. We need the exist bitcoin can lower its transaction fees. If bcash not monopoly the miner it could be big. Another btc fork is just a joke or maybe scam. Its just my opinion you are free to counter my opinion.

The only reason those are creating the bitcoin forks caused by that will be so easy to be listed in the exchange site without doing any effort. Rather than doing ico to compete with another project. Bitcoin cash fork decided by the community to give segwit to the bitcoin. B2x and off-chain development just like lightning network is needed. god bitcoin, super bitcoin and whatever they are calling just another useless altcoin.

All that is needed is for everyone to trade the forked coin for BTC on day one. All of it. Except for BCH. It's pretty cool...

We dont need any fork shitcoins, it is profitable for the game at the stock exchange but nothing more useful..

I think the more the forks happen the more likely we shall not take these new altcoins to be a real deal, the only thing that will matter the most is the air drop these forks are known for.
I think we shall have less forks because bitcoin going forward needs the communities support and right now a fork to improve transaction times is a must otherwise we are getting tired of them

Bitcoin cash had a big community even before the fork, so that I understand, but the rest are total scams and I'm sad I miss the right time to dump them

Depends on to whom you direct your question to. Bitcoin core simply upgrades and tweaks bitcoin sometimes with hard forks.
Other forks come from who ever decides to fork bitcoin it is not based on our need, but the people that decide to fork bitcoin, this is the beauty of decentralized and open source world.
Some forks will have its use cases, but most are done by greedy people willing to increase their stash.

When it comes to bitcoin forks I can't really complain because its like "free bitcoin dividends." On the other hand, my worry is that having all these bitcoin forks might look shady to new comers in the cryptocurrency scene. Most will probably not understand and see it as a very "fake" way of generating money. I do hope it doesn't negatively affect bitcoin value.

Forks are not free money, forks are stealing from the value of bitcoin and from the brand, don't you think it is funny that not a single one of the forks has excluded bitcoin from its name, because they know that without that no one will buy their useless coins.

Copies have only strengthened the original so far. You do not have to be more fork. I think he is creating inflation.

I think so. We reached an enormous growth because of these btc imitations from forks that drives a lot of people to buy bulks of btc just for the free money. Who doesn't want free money right?

Yes, everybody is thinking through forks we are getting free money but it is completely wrong and many people want to divert their money into other BTC clones. Even though they are from hard forks but trading in terms of BTC only.

I wouldn't mind, why say no to free coins?  especially since they pay the bills.  I just wish I held on to my free BCH now !!

I seriously doubt that another fork or any fork , for that matter would help improve BTC in any way. It needs to improve itself internally and doesn't need to fork.

I have the opinion that there should not be more forks that occur because I have a fear if too many forks are happening then btc will get more shaky.

We don't need any BTC forks, we need BTC upgrade with consensus. Anybody can fork the chain, even you can choose your own path and fork it. But if nobody follow your path then it won't have any value. People give value to money. That's why most forks are trash already. I don't think Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold can survive longer.

That is what the next segregated witness gonna do. They will increase the block size and number of confirmations will increasew because of this effect. When the block size increase you will find the time to take confirmation will be reduced.
I am not use what is the name of splitting coin. I am eager to know about if. If anyone knows please share about it.
But this effect will be good for bitcoin and everyone will find the big bump in the chart.

Maybe... If there are changes in our world where blockchains must be able to be adoptable.. at the moment i think we have got enough forks already and i dont think we need that.

I don't see any need for btc forks if only to improve btc. I humbly opine that internal upgrading and improvement is what should be done. I believe btc forks creates clones.

We need less bitcoin forks. When Satoshi made a bitcoin he doesn't think that will be so much chinese forks

We really don't need more. Besided, bitcoin should be improved by the coders. Getting new forked ones doesn't help the community. They all say lies to us and they don't do anything in bitcoin forks.

Yes, Because I am holding Bitcoin. After each fork I can receive free coins. lol.... but to be honest, I think that there are too many forks now and it does not help anything to original Bitcoin. it can not improve the weaknesses of Bitcoin.

personally actually i do not really need more fork anymore because it can make the price become unstable. indeed a fork could have made a positive effect but it would still be an early fear.

These hardforks are needed for price correction and so investors could jump in the bandwagon. And most people who are holding bitcoin would benefit from these hardforks as well and some altcoins too.

sometimes Hardfork greatly affects the market situation of cryptocurrency.
Hardfork provides benefits to Bitcoin holders. they hunt Bitcoin just to benefit from Bitcoin hardfork. so the price of Bitcoin will go up.

We do not need more forks. When outsiders look at what happens it loses credibility.  I think these for the most part are money grabs.

I have not claimed my free tokens and that has been a good move since some of those tokens have gone up nicely, but I'm not going to buy them, why I should get bitcoin gold or bitcoin cash when I'm already holding the best coin you can hold in the form of bitcoin.

Judging from how much the owners of bitcoin cash made i suspect there will be a lot more bitcoin forks this year. Binance appears to be a good place to collect the forked coins, if you are brave enough to leave your coins on an exchange

While the forks have gotten a bad name because of blockchain splitting and people getting free money we need to keep in mind that in open source development forks are natural. They usually occur when developers have a difference of ideas on where the project will go. Some good forks to consider are Libre office which forked from Openoffice and Nextcloud from owncloud. In both those cases the fork was the one adopted while the original was neglected. So tech wise, it might be good and we might get a bitcoin that is worth more tech wise. But we shall see

It's free but they damage the ecosystem of bitcoin. We really don't need anymore bitcoin forks. They don't do anything after the fork happens, they get o the excahnges and get traded between people, pitty, that's all.

I think it depends on how important to make some changes from Bitcoin into another level like Segwit2x, their aim is to extend scalability like increasing the block size from 1mb into 4mb, increasing the transaction speed from 4 transactions a second into 16 per second and so on.
These kind of hard forks are necessary to accommodate users demands that's why hard forking Bitcoin's core sometimes is a must.

Same thoughts. You don't see countries fork their currencies. That's called forgery.
Forking, forgery...all the same to some people.

I do not have problems with forks as long as there is a real intention from the developers to create something new, forking software is very common in the free software community what I do not agree is that many of the forks are just attempts to make money.

Forks for the sake of forks are no good. However forks that end up offering a real improvement can't be all bad.
Having said that I would like to see fewer forks and more improvements to the original bitcoin!

Only the bitcoin cash that offers segwit to the bitcoin blockchain and another forks after that just suck. How segwit 2x with new unknown developer are trying to cheating us with pre mined 6 million coin. But what the hell was happened with these forks shitcoin.

Yes its true. I am confusing with the developer of bitcoin, why so many fork are applied?
I dont think it gives positive impact to bitcoin itself. More people think that this is like scam.
