Don't think to much for your own. Let's make a discussion out of the box.
When there is a new fork people are so exiting because in this way they can split their BTC with a new Crypto. Very lucky for you buddy!
BUT, is it really worth for the community? Or is it another way to speculate and try to gain extra money ?
I mean Bitcoin ha seriously issue and everyone know about it. You guess it: scalability, fees to hight, ect
Could the new forks really solve the issue? Because if everyone see them as free-money it's definitely not worth it and BTC remain with its problems
What do you think ?
People who benefit from forks are the developers. And it just makes the price of bitcoin fluctuate so much. It does not help us, it is just a waste of space.

Forking is not the answer, but it is necessary for bitcoin to grow. There will always be a divide between groups so instead of voting and letting things be for BTC, it's better to let them split and new technology be tried and judged by the masses. From there, we will know which one will be the one true BTC based on technology and how it will advance our beloved coin.

I know truly that forks is a good thing for Bitcoin holders because they get these fork coins for free in the number of their BTC coins. Users get in the fork one perspective currency as Bitcoin Cash

I don't really know the answer myself and i have been wondering the same thing, are forks really good for btc? Does it really help bitcoin to improve? I have read some answers of people in the crypto community, they said that bitcoin forks dont really helps bitcoin to improve, it is just developers want to profit. I don't really know what to believe so i will just make my own research if whether forks helps bitcoin to improve or not.
And which are your conclusions? I mean it has a big issue for the community itself expaining why there is such a speculation behind the forks and the profit that Devs want to obtain instantly and don't care about anything at all. What they are saying everytime: we made the new Bitcoin! Come and buy it, we'll solve this and that. If it was one of two maybe I would believe at first but now..

And for those who think " free-coin" and supporting forks are those the bad guys that just want to gain extra and easy money speculating by dumping when the first block of the fork is mined. They are frinking out the news and the whole ecosistem. The Devs we know they just want to make theirselves richer but that secondary I think. I mean they spend their effort by coding at least..

Yes, but they have to declare: look this is a test! We don't know if it gonna work better but we'll give it a shoot. And not pretend to be Bitcoin core from day 0 because they call themselves Bitcoin-some-shit. I agree with you it's a test mode. And if the fork will really solve the problem, they would have to implement in the core system

I think forks are healthy for bitcoin competition. It feeds more attention to both parties, like bitcoins vs Segwit2x. This usually drops the price of both coins therefore drawing a lot of attention thus attracting more and more investors to buy both coins, allowing for a dual competition.

whether positive or negative effects i don't thin forks has a great effect on bitcoin. but i honestly cannot understand the reason why developers would want to create forks instead of creating their own projects from the beginning without using the name of bitcoin anymore. if the developers of this coins truly believes in the potential of what they are creating then they must feel confident launching it without the name of bitcoin being used anymore.

Not really, just feel that miners that support certain forks are just greedy for money. However, I don't think forks have a large effect on Bitcoin in the long term, as people still view Bitcoin as the most valuable of all the forks and altcoins.

I don't think it is good for BTC because the forks are mainly focusing in gaining profit and giving illusions that their transaction fees are cheaper, when it fact, it can be the same.

Totally agree with you mate. It's totally a waste of time that forks. What it really matters is the core developers on the first project - lightning will come and fix our problem
