[equator]

Hard forks is now replacing ICOs as a way to raise funds

In 2017 there have been more than 1000 ICOs

This means that in 2018 we could see more than 1000 hard forks - creating chaos

What you are saying is 100% true as first their were Airdrops for new coins release then came ICO trend and now no more new coins development just take a block number and claim it hard fork and then a new coin is ready but the profit is for the bitcoin holders who will get free coins of each hard fork for the bitcoins they are holding. But the more danger is that out of this hardforks 90% of them will be scammers as when you are claiming this hardfork coin and dont take care of your bitcoins then it can be thefted by way of creating scam wallet for hardfork and when the users claim it their coins will be hacked. So the coming future hardfork are very risky to get scammed

Too many ICO's had been develop and more to be develop soon, some become successful but most of them failed or become scam or just wanted to have profit. No matter how many hard forks will come no one can beat our beloved bitcoin for sure.

Thats ridiculous to hear, I mean what the use of it, just to raise the funds and create wealth out of the people’s wallet? Is that it, thats the best way to go through it. I mean what about the development, do they really do it? I don’t think so, it is just about the raising the money. What we are getting is just circulation of those free coins and then we greed for the money. But id not understand why that is good way to keep up the new coins market cap all time high.

You know guys that really kills the market of bitcoin because we put our money into those alts later on and make it worst station for the bitcoin investment. Then we keep creating why the prices of bitcoin are going down and is it good time to sell and blah blah. Thats why we must not support the forks. Its such bad news for 2018 year.

[Xabad]

1000 forks in 2017 and the price hit 800% increase, are you saying that in 2018 bitcoin will do the same because of these forks? hard forks are not doing any negative in bitcoin because bitcoin will always be bitcoin.

Good news for Bitcoin holders, and bad news for bounty hunters.
they will not find work from ICO, they will turn into a trader.
hopefully this becomes a reference for ICO to be more qualified.

ICO token is able to be created easily, but hardfork requires more technical knowledge and can't be created too easy by a lot of ICO scammer. This is a good trends

If any new coins takes birth by hard forking in future, it will not be acceptable by the community imo.
There is already a lot chaos after Bitcoin cash forking. The community has divided into two parts. BCH's ann thread is became a battle ground now.
Most recently we have seen the reactions of the community for Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond. The reactions just indicates that the community don't want anymore forks/new coins.

[BrewMaster]

it is just a temporary thing where some lazy developers think if they use the name of bitcoin in their shitcoin, they will gain some traction. and the first few will actually gain some attention. like bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold. but as the shits hit the fan, people will pay less and less attention to them and a low price for these means a much harder sustainability than a normal altcoin from scratch of an ICO. they will disappear as fast as they appear.

1000 is just an FUD that OP is dumbly saying to gain some attention

[Alexcross1075]

Haven’t heard about bitcoin social? That is the trending token released for air dropping

[thesmallgod]

the fact that some ICO are scam or being dump doesnt mean there are still no good ICO. even if there will 10000 ICO in 2018 there will still be successful one. nowadays ICO has opened peoples eyes and alot of people are no more ready to invest in ICO that has no future. ICO with working product at hand are more sustainable and are less prone to failure compare to alot of ICO who has no working product but a graphic website.

That doesn't seems practical, no doubt we will see many forks in 2018 but not that much like these ICOs in present 2017. ICOs and forks both have many disadvantages aside with their benefits. Not only 1000 times we will collect the free coins by holding bitcoins but every time we will have to see huge uncertainty and high volatility in price due to the forks and whales in the market.

[Variogam]

I would welcome it. It would be no chaos at all, only those coins with community support would be used long term, currently only Bitcoin Cash has community support, multi team development and increasing adoption.

[zemb]

If in 2018 will have been more than 1000 hard fork. I think some coins price will very increase.  

[aileen393332xe5157]

There are many ICO being created every day and mostly ICO -based on ETH platform. And the number of scam ICO is also increasing a lot, can somebody help me how to avoid the ICO Scam?

[Victorycoin]

Seriously. What is wrong with hard forks? It is free and if you don't like it then don't claim or simply dump it. When a hard forked coin does nothing and cannot present developments and solid platform then it will cease to exist. Not a problem actually.

I know you're aware that hard fork, which is a change of base code cannot be without problems! Aside from the risk of successful transition and implementation, there's reduction in the capitalization of the original version and the community also gets divided thus weakening its support, the backbone for any coin. Taking the case of Bitcoin, the hard forks were attempts to hijack the Bitcoin brand name, because of its economic status and Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold and Segwit2x are just 3 ways of saying one and same thing!

[setifien19]

1000 forks is crazily a very high number, that can fluently spam crypto community unless they give something valuable to it , ( it won't be the case, I guess )

[TheNostradamus]

There will come many more forks. But we as a community must take a stand and just ignore these bogus forks.
Diamond/Silver and even gold, they will turn out to be shit in the end. So try to not get fooled by this bogus bitcoin forks. Ignore them!

[zxl912157]

Threats to ICO and bounty hunter.
this is a win for holders of Bitcoin, they managed to add the money easily.

[Pleione527]

It can be possible because surely we need yo have an active market for cryptos and having a fork is one way to keep the circulation balance otherwise bitcoin will be boring and may not continue to appreciate. But at the end of the we must know which coin will stay at the top and that is bitcoin those fork is just an option

It only creates chaos when people choose to use the ICOs or give them value, why would you not simply ignore them and make them value-less? It's a whole lot easier than trying to play games and keep track of what's going on with forks everywhere. I haven't even heard of Bitcoin Red or whatever it was, and what do you know, the value of it is in the shitter in comparison. Just ignore the forks, don't play the games and everything goes fine. People will choose to use them or to not based on their personal choices.
