Topic: Are Forks really good for BTC ? - page 2. (Read 804 times)
Honestly, other than the pump BTC usually gets right before the fork they don't seem to really affect it. After everything is said and done it just becomes another altcoin.
I don't now whether the forks are good for Bitcoin or not. But they have been good for me. Check the exchange rates of Bitcoin and the various forked coins (as per Coinmarketcap):
1. Bitcoin: $15,574 (per coin)
2. Bitcoin Cash: $3,012
3. Bitcoin Gold: $302
4. Bitcoin Diamond (futures): $62
5. Bitcoin Unlimited (fut.): $238
6. Bitcoin United: $550
7. Super Bitcoin: $337
There are 7-8 other forked coins as well, but I am not listing them. In total, if you had 1 BTC on August 1 2017, then you will be having more than $20K worth of coins right now.

I think bitcouine will benefit.
Because people will buy bitcoin to earn profit from the gag,
This will affect the growth of bitcoin in the market cap. The number of invesment in bitcoin but growing.

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 ?
As far as i can tell,none of the forks which happened since August 1 have had the desired effect it was meant to have, we are still paying outrageous fees to miners so that our transactions get confirmed and its taking longer than ever for that to happen.Let's make a discussion out of the box.

I think BTC's price is largely due to electricity tariffs, if there is no miner that BTC can not survive, ETH is the same.
Why do you think we should reduce the cost of paying the miners? The Kingdom is based on the miners' support, and that's the rule.
As you say, the confirmation is getting slower and slower...
In my opinion no, i think the developer of new forked bitcoin just want to make profit, some of them have like a ton of pre minned coin and want to dump it as soon as possible. Cheaper fee faster transaction just a fake reason too.
And now almost every body that have little knowledge about blockchain tech can make their own version of bitcoin
At the moment the hard forks haven't had anything to improve of the existing foundation that Bitcoin has layed out, so I would agree that as of now there hasn't been any worthy forks. But, this can change and I'm all for improving on Bitcoin. Bitcoin has certain limitations which will need to be fixed, whether that's through soft forks or hard forks remains to be seen.And now almost every body that have little knowledge about blockchain tech can make their own version of bitcoin
Both affect Bitcoin directly and indirectly. Hard forks tend to create a false hype around Bitcoin because of the 'free' coins that people are promised.
I'm still new to this fork thing and hope i get some clarification here. So fork coins are just altcoins that confused you to put some of your bitcoin to their project and will give you a same amount of it as fork?
nope just people trying to get free money .It is working so more power to then. Anything with bitcoin in its name get free money tossed at it
I'll go along with you.
I studied so long that issue and overtime I come with the same conclusion: it doesn't make any sense other than grow BTC core even more.
When you read about new fork has coming you are quite exiting: FREE MONEY!!
But if you look further you realise that it could be dangerous for the community itself and it's so hard to communicate with the newbie the potential of decentralise coins.
I hope they gonna solve the issues soon : we need it!

Unfortunately you're right! What they all brought it is confusion and make BTC even stronger but still with some problems to be solved. So in a kind different angle we are "controlled" by miner and the cost of their fees that get higher and higher.
I think it's all a speculation. Just my opinion tho
Since ICOs have been banned in China, BTC forks become next big thing to attract new investors. I think most of them are just another HYIPs and there is no need to make 5-8 BTC hard forks each month.
I did not see any change in the BTC with respect to forks.
The problem is what you exactly mentioned. The other forks think that they can be the BTC core number 1 and replace the "old Bitcoin" but they failed. Because you cannot replace the first cryptocurrency just saying " you're better then that" : you at first have to prove it why and have the community and the history behind it. So I think the forks would never replace the core BTC but the good features they solve could be implemented on the Bitcoin core itself
yes bitcoin cash is fork and give us other good coin when bitcoin be so expensive.
most of bitcoin forks only altcoin with small support and bad developer when to be rich fast.

That's the main reason that scares me and most of. The Devs that forked the BTC core blockchain could have a fair idea in their mind but it's so difficult to tell if they truly have a good purpose. Or if that would be a shit-coin even if it's called BTC-something. And many believe that with forks that can gain extra money so they dump after having accredited.
Think about that: how can you explain that to newbies ?
It's quite hard
So, https://b2x-segwit.io/ was made by blockstream devs.
The goal of fork is to destroy bitcoin.
Blockstream devs openly work on destroying bitcoin with fees, and now also with stupid forks.
Blockstream is on Roger Ver payroll? The only man who benefits from this SegWit drama is Roger Ver with his Bitcoin.com website. Andreas Antonopoulos, biggest 1mb limit shill, was openly paid recently by Roger Ver in form of "donations". What for he was paid over $1mil? For not liking BCH and supporting high fees in BTC blockchain? Roger Ver goal is full control of bitcoin software and bitcoin.com website, so he can be a bitcoin boss. And the only way for him to succeed is destroying bitcoin.org software.

As I think the forks made with good purpose to help Bitcoin blockchain will not be overload,It's the reason why there are a lot of hard forks to create a new cryptocurrency from Bitcoin to make people don't only focus on Bitcoin and make it become overload.The purpose of hard fork is very good but there are some hard forks are not, I think so
I think they miss the point: there cannot be more than one CORE Bitcoin. And as for now how many are out there ? Too much for being consider only one. I mean the other has to be "test-coin" and if that feature works better than Core one, so they have to implement that. But for now I see only as free-coin or free-money and I don't like too much 'cause they are right referring BTC as a " form only to speculate". So the forks now are pretty seen like that.
Forks are really good for generating money out from the air, esp. for fork-makers.
I have doubts that they will be really wide-spreaded, however useful & progressive they might be.
BTC is the slow, expencive but true golden standard of Cryptos, people will believe it despite of it's technical imperfection.

From my own understanding of what the forks was partly intended to do was to somehow reduce the price strength of the bitcoin and share with the newly formed fork/branch. Bitcoin after each fork will then regarner strength and build up again. Apart from having free equivalent volume of what you had in your bitcoin, a new coin is being formed and given value with the influence of the bitcoin. On the overview, we can see that the forks have had no real impact on the bitcoin itself.
There are still only 21m BTC, so I think fork is not very influential.
Interestingly, we added BCH, BTCUN, SBTC in our wallets.

I don't think btc fork can affect btc in any way. Forking btc means they are creating a entire new altcoin and I don't think the creation of a new altcoin will affect bitcoin in any way. The developers fork bitcoin to make a coin which has better features than bitcoin with less transaction fees, faster confirmation etc. But I think all these forked coins are less decentralized than bitcoin because these forked coins have got a team behind it.
yes, I agree with you, that fork also has advantages for those who have bitcoin, and besides that also fork have an effect on to repair system.Jump to:
