I usually only talk about positive things, but since this is a post of Bear, let's bring out some bearish facts
There is a possible hard fork in the near future, where user might be forced to switch blockchain. If you use original software, you will stay with original protocol, and if you use a new software published by btc foundation, you will use the new protocol. Both protocol do not accept the block on another chain, so coin generated on one chain become invalid in another chain (not sure if old coins will be affected)
I don't really understand the necessity of such a hard fork, but anyway core developers said there are this this and this reason that we should/should not raise the transaction size limit, the debate has been going on for one year
The debate splited into two different political view regarding how BTC will perform in the future, I think this revealed a potential weakness in BTC: Currently there is no good decision making process established in btc community, if some developer with big influence decided to make a change in protocol, while some others do not agree, they might go ahead and make this fork, and we will get a split after the hard fork, so that some group of user stay with the original, and some other group goes with the new protocol, if that split is 50-50, that will almost immediately cut the BTC price by half. It is not about the technology itself, it is about people's trust of blockchain
I had a poll for this, have a mixed result without any majority:

大致意思似乎是：比特币社区的某些高级开发者打算对比特币协议进行修订？？？修订后出现“分叉”（hard fork），然后出现两大派：什叶派和逊尼派，两派互不承认，互不买账，大打出手？？？
请Hero Member们给与澄清，谢谢！
