I have seen Bitcoin become a number of forks a few months ago. Like BCH, BCD, B2X, BCP, SBTC.
whether bitcoin be a fork again next year
I was a bit surprise that this year there isn't so much noise about bitcoin fork unlike last year, there is always high expectations when a fork date is announced as far the price of bitcoin is concerned unavailability of btc forks this year could partly be responsible for the low volatility and momentum of the price.
When Bitcoin will be on fomo again , people will start to create forks again for a quick bucks . Forks last year boosted BTC price aswell , image if you hold like 1000 BTC and you can get 1000 BCH free , its kinda free money . So people bought even more btc to get free forks ... It's kinda sad . And look where are the fork projects heading currently ? Nowhere...
It's so sad to see that people actually bought these coins thinking that it's going to overthrow bitcoin from its throne simply because influential people told them so. But if we're going to play the logic here, the influential people have an enormous amount of bitcoins. If they don't hype the forks, no one will place buy orders and they will not make profit from it. So in order to end up with the best case scenario, they had to team up and create hype enough for them to sell their coins on a decent price. It's a million dollars worth of money just like that. And of course so the people who got ripped by this scenario are left hanging with messages that makes them keep holding even longer. Explanations like why the world is just not yet ready for the coin yet and you should even buy more because it'll increase in the future. Just so the actual investors don't feel bad about it.
Nonetheless, the possibility of those coins actually going somewhere in the future isn't entirely zero although when we look at the present charts, they are not looking good.
