Seriously, if we just look at how many hardforks bitcoin will get this month. Will that have a positive or negative impact on bitcoin?


I can imagine, now that bitcoin becomes more and more mainstream, that more forks will follow next year. However does a negative hardfork impact bitcoin in the future?

I am personally, SO SICK, of all the btc forks. I think each one is a more desperate money grab than the next. And I honestly think they only harm the crypto community.

I personally refuse to support by trading, mining, or dealing with btc hardfork coins ...

I think that in time all forks will be bad as it draws strength from bitcoin and adds competition, thus diluting bitcoins market share. Of course many of the forks are going to be fairly redundant but some of them are capable of harming bitcoin going forward. Although the other way to look at it is to see it as competition to push bitcoin to continue to improve.

Str1x, your question is simply wrong.

The right question is, let me help you, are there still some money to be made via btc fork shits?

Though we don't need even bitcoin practically.

Only necessary for those who make fork. Quite unnecessary for everyone else. Ofcourse we dont need!

We never need a bitcoin fork, not even once! The deal here is that some group of rich and celebrity people dreams about a crypto ecosystem where they have fully control of it. That's how the forks exist in bitcoin.

Can someone explain me that why everytime when bitcoin is forked and new coin is created, total market cap of bitcoin and its forks increase? While it should be stay same. Then there is a actual value, we can't simply call them trash or useless.

All these forks are just for a very easy money grab cashing in the name of bitcoin.
No way to stop these but these are  affecting the value of bitcoin to go up only.

Actually forks can't be stopped because anyone willing to make small changes in bitcoin can fork bitcoin as it is open sourced. We have already seen 100s of forks before and there can be 100s of the them in future too, all the coming forks you have highlighted will not bring any significant improvement in bitcoin so they are just another altcoin which might not hold any value at all.

As an ETH fan, I'm happy for all the BS BTC forks. Each one will be less valuable than the one before and eventually the BTC forks will be so watered down that they will be like the ETH airdrops on bitcointalk (which is essentially worthless).

You can already see this from Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin Gold to Bitcoin Diamond (futures). The more BTC forks, the less attention they will get. Hopefully helping ETH.

Just been said above by some people,Me also is already tired of these forks which this just only an alibi to make significant changes on bitcoin but it appears that this is just a scheme on making even more money just like we do saw on past forks which I don't really see any changes on what they are proposing which turns out that those forks are just useless and nothing special at all. Even no matter how many forks would come out then they are just still be an altcoin.

Agree. Hopefully people are getting tired of this concept soon.

Maybe the next scam cycle is crypto kitties copies.  Cheesy

Most forks are irrelevant, they add nothing new to bitcoin and are not innovative, so we not only do not need new forks, we do not even need the ones that were created recently but since anyone can copy & paste the code then everyone can create a fork and think of himself as a developer.

do not need it, it's just a popular way of distribution at the moment, but it's bad that they get the capitalization from scratch
