I wonder can the planed hard forks be a way to generate free money that can be exchanged to Bitcoin to dump Bitcoin price and pump Bitcoin cash price in order to present Bitcoin Cash as the rival alternative to Bitcoin and attract investors money?

If you watch the chart of BCH/BTC after segwit2x cancelled on 8 november you will notice the manipulation in the price of BCH which some points to be done from exchanges in South Korea that are not regulated.

I think we have to watch very careful the move of the main figures behind Bitcoin Cash, as it seems to me the Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash battle is still going on as explained in the below website.

I Do not know why they keep on popping. The question is how will these forks affect the bitcoin market. with these upcoming forks bitcoin's price may fall back to 10K or maybe 9K depending on the support that people will show with these coins. Still there is nothing to be afraid of since bitcoin's price will just have a correction but will rise back up. good thing for traders.

The forked coins are alt coins and they do not affect the total supply of the original coin. We have seen Bitcoin gold forked few weeks ago which did not have any effect on the  price of Bitcoin.

Do not see bitcoin being usurped by these forks. Question is whether any of these "fork" coins will be worth holding.

Pretty sure this is all fueled by greed can't think of any other reason why we need these many forks. I mean are there more than 7-10 problems with the current bitcoin? I don't think so but they are all fighting to fix the few problems there are namely the speed and fees of the transaction. These are the two major problems but yeah like I said they are fighting greedily to fix these problems and have their own coin overtake real bitcoin.

That list is very informative though what coins is able to claim today if I have BTC in my wallet already?

The lightning fork I'm most interested in so far. The others I just see as free cash to change in

Seems like forks are going to become as something usual in sooner time. I also don't know what is the need of so much forks, but I am on the side of the conspiracy which is going to be used to make a little group of people like very very rich.
You can't know which of this forks will produce something worthy. Nothing depend's from us, but from the group of speculators.

We have nothing to worries about these forks or any attempt to dump bitcoin because the numbers of bitcoin holders who have learned about these forks are greater than the begginers or lets say the panic people. These attempts will just make bitcoin pump for sure because lot of us are just waiting for another bitcoin price fall down then panic buying of bitcoin again thereafter.  :D

I try to answer, from my analysis, the goal is to reduce bitcoin sales and attract investors, because investors prefer to buy at low prices, so the system should often to do hardfork.

I'm also curious about it. I don't know why they keep on forking Bitcoin. At first, their reasons were acceptable. They said that they wanted to do it to improve the crypto community, to create something which is better than Bitcoin, etc. But now, all I can see is that they wanted to destroy Bitcoin or they just want to create free money out of it. Whatever their reasons are, it is not helpful anymore in the community.

Can anyone in the forum forward the message of this thread to the "Bitcoin core developers" to investigate the situation? Thanks in advance.

well, i think people are just looking for a quick buck. bitcoin will be forked many other times. but it needs just 1 good, fork. one that will bring down transaction fees, and speed up transaction times and maybe increases the supply. other than that, other forks are useless

this is hard to answer i think because bitcoin still increasing the price and can't control the price look at now bitcoin increase its only an hours bitcoin increase their pice almost 100usd thats my opinion about why bitcoin so many upcoming fork in dec. 2017, neeed an correction how to control.

This has gotten to be a bad joke. Notice that each fork being released is seeing lower and lower interest and price on futures markets. My expectation is that many/most of these (and especially any future forks) are going to be DOA as they can't even get an exchange to list them, and even with a backwater exchange those who do will tend to die off as pointless scamcoins.

There are scores of interesting altcoins doing a tremendous amount of innovative work alongside Bitcoin developing financial niches that Bitcoin by itself could never cover. Not  one of these forks is doing anything useful or original in that regard. Even Bcash and BTG are pointless scams  - if you want cheap fees, which is all Bcash offers, use IOTA or Dogecoin or hundreds of alternatives. If you want GPU mining, there are also hundreds of alternatives.

I'm not even wasting my time trying to redeem any coins I could get from these forks. We're already seeing widespread scamming in which scammers are stealing people's BTC by offering "services" to split their forked coins. That will be even more prevalent with these more obscure forks. So get involved with them at your peril, and don't cry to me when you get burned.

Bitcoin forks doesn't affect the total supply of Bitcoin and the supply but it affect a lot of the pricing and transactions during hardfork.

I can't this to happen and i want to see the changes of their low fees and fast transactions services. Probably more users will going to use it for sure and those who always complain why their transaction is too slow while the fees are too high.

I think the reasons behind this so many hard fork is because bitcoin value really grows very fast that its value goes really high they need to adjust the price of bitcoin so if there will be an alt to divert the market of bitcoin probably the value of bitcoin will crash. But looking at the market status of bitcoin I think it will become difficult for an alt to get the trust bitcoin earns from people.

Of course they say that bitcoin infrastructure is not enough and it should be improved. For example block size and speed. But I believe that some covetous developers want to make money and they decide to do hard fork. So they can make money by doing pre-mining. So thats the main reason for them.

Bitcoin crap 1, Bitcoin crap 2, Bitcoin crap 3, Bitcoin crap 4 and so on..

They all are the same bullshit, i dont know why there are some people who are still using those forks, the only legit ones were Bitcoin Cash and bitcoin gold.

Well, maybe bgold was not a good fork because a lot of people lost a lot of money because of the infected wallet.

But why do we have tons of useless forks right now?

They are super fast schemes in where the owner is the only one who earns a lot of money.

but still, even tho it has even less value than the previous fork, it will have some value and people will flock for that. That is probably why bitcoin is rising so much

Don't confuse the Bitcoin lightning fork with the lightning network solution on the original bitcoin blockchain. These forks will produce alts and they will slowly fade away. Other stronger alts are on the way down because now everybody buys bitcoin and if needed sells the alts to jump on this train. The price is rising sharply so these forks are not timed very well... but we'll see in mid Dec.

to get more airdrops

The forks that you currently see nowadays are considered as alt coins. They are good for trading, if you plan to go that path.

I don't have any idea about these forks. But i think December  is a Month for bitcoins . A month when the price maybe increase much more. So the goal is increasing the bitcoin's demand. Since investors like to buy when the price is low. So maybe that's the main reason why so many fork coming in this 2017.
