I was wondering how people approach realising the value in the created forks (rather than just HODLing them)

My Bitcoin is in paper wallets and I never use those private keys for the forks until my bitcoin has been moved out of the paper wallet (due to lack of trust in the forks and keeping my private keys ... well private!). There is however a non-trivial cost in transaction fees in moving from one paper wallet to another.

Note: I prefer paper wallets to hardware wallets as I can store multiple copies for redundancy reasons.

With the many forks recently and to come it could prove costly using my current method.

What do you people think?       

That I am responsible for how I feel. The emotional impact of what others may so or do negatively is of my choosing. They don't cause the emotional response in me, I do. That has enabled me to put on my negativity invisibility shield and negative comments now just bounce off me.

Aliens yes. That they have travelled here, unlikely. 

No. Did a little bit in early 20s in a share house but don't see the point of it now.

Purpose I think is to maximise your own happiness. The dilemma is balancing short term versus long term happiness. That may sound a tad selfish but it isn't as you cant be truly happy if you make the people around you unhappy.
