If there is no hard fork, will the real value of Bitcoin be higher now or lower

[shesheboy]

I think bitcoin will still move up even there's no hardfork. Hardfork it cause to slip decision of every investor because they need to choose that will give to them more profits. But of course as we can see bitcoin is still in good value even there's a hardfork. Because it happened before year 2017 that after hardfork bitcoin got new ATH .

hardfork causes the price of bitcoin to rise because people are buying more bitcoin in order to get the equivalent amount of fork coins  .  though there is also a chance that bitcoin can lost what it already regain because people usually sells both of their fork coins and bitcoin to earn a good income  . @op if there is no hardfork , the value of bitcoin can still increase due to the demand that it gets from the public but if there is a hardfork , the value can increase more evenly into an un-usual state  .

As much as everyone feared that the civil war would destroy bitcoin, it proved that the community and the network was already too strong to be defeated even by a rift. And it wasn't so much an internal rift as the media portrayed. Those who broke off to make BCH were not THAT important to Bitcoin after all and as we can all see now they are better off not being part of bitcoin. I'm glad it happened no matter what.

Hard forks of bitcoin is something what was inevitable, just because some people who are involved with bitcoin in his early stages suddenly want to show how they can create something better. How much is actually difficult to make something better then bitcoin was seen in the example of bitcoincash, which is in one point powered by huge money and media coverage come close (in terms of price) to original bitcoin. But despite all attempts it failed to become real bitcoin, but it made a certain damage creating confusion among potential users in terms of what is real bitcoin and what is not.

All other bitcoin forks were quite meaningless, and despite the fact that community did not have anything against free money which forks creates, it show that in some point people start show almost no interest for such things. Reason is low value of forked coins and fact that hackers took advantage of the situation by creating fake wallets, which resulted in huge losses.

In my opinion price of bitcoin would probably be a bit bigger than today if we did not have hard forks, but no one with certainty can not say whether this difference today would be $100 or $1000.

I think it will be both.

Higher before the hard fork because people will be all set on buying and Saving up bitcoins.

But

Lower after the fork for a while since, people start engaging in new cryptos, since our old one just split into two it also actually will make another option available for people who are thinking of investing.
