Bitcoin Silver hard fork?

[Nathan047]

And this is when forks start to become worthless. Bitcoin cash was very successful compared to similar altcoins, so people are going to try to start piggy-backing on top of that and create their own forks.

Soon enough people will realize this and forks will become another form of altcoins.

I am creating Bitcoin Rainbow, and will drop you all 500 Arcs, a day, that's a load shit of money

Just a quick question. If bitcoin can be forked then there is a possibility that all the other coins can be forked too? Why didn't the other coins followed and get forked every few months? It is because bitcoin is getting slower and slower the more people using it?

Thank god, I was worried we might not get some useless free shitcoins for a while

Many reasons, popularity factor, demand, adoption and first mover advantage. Forking Bitcoin is indeed profitable for miners having fork as well as to bulk hodlers. That is why we are hearing these shit forks everyday. Everyone is just ready with fork. First BCH, then BTG, B2X is coming, Bitcoin Silver is speculated, Bitcoin eat, sleep and shit to follow. I hope some step should be taken like of having enough support before having a fork. Else this bullshit will continue.

Theres bitcoin cash, there's bitcoin gold, shall I assume there will be a bitcoin silver hard fork before the end of this year or 2018?

The new trend is set, so I expect more and more altcoins to come with Bitcoin in their name. Is Platinum taken btw? How about Diamond and Ruby?
But they bring no value at all. It's the hype they rely on to sell worthless coins to unsuspecting newbie trader/speculator wannabes.

New trend is set indeed and devs are now seeing the fork as a way to make some cash from the forked chain.
As funny as it sounds, honestly, it is infuriating and I really hope it stops. Like you said, they bring no value at all and they end up being a shitty coin at the end. If they have an idea, they can build it and see how it grows in the market but creating a stupid forked chain because they do not agree with satoshi's gospel is uncalled for.

Outside bitcoin Cash which success comes because of the effort put in by the developers in making a strong competing advert and publicity other one may not be able to succeed. Bitcoin gold may not go far more than some altcoins and if we have another splitting called "bitcoin silver" it may turn to fun and at the end turn to one of those shit coins. The exchangers may list them on their site but at the end or in years to come there may dilisted them as people will be uninterested in them.  Litecoin has take the image of silver in the cryptocurrency market and other coins that may come up with that kind symbol are going to get things difficult.

Are you naive to believe these coins have real developers like bitcoin? Someone with no skill in coding could be the one behind all these forks.
Maybe some of them have real developers but since crypto currency is new even bitcoin developers are learning as they go. Silver/ gold/ platinum/ ebtc/ eeth/ ebtc2/ ebtc3/ btg1/ btg2 etc, I don't have any of them stored for long term, anything I could get I immediately sell them for the highest price.

i cant wait until btccorn is forked

We already have Bitcoin Gold. And what we have - nothing
Silver will be the same
