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

It's been proven that forks only strengthen BTC even more. Just like how it recently went with Bitcoin Cash.

Hoping so buddy

No, Bitcoin forks are usually for the gain of the developers, they pre-mine a large amount of coins and have huge gains once the coins reach the exchanges.

This is what i thought first when forks has been made to solve issues related to scale and blockchain and possible frauds. But, as promotion starts for forks like it's an ICO, i start thinking other ways. So Forks are really good for holders and investors. Remember all the latest forks in bitcoin blockchain that aim to solve specific problems but the issues still occurs till our days.
Sooner or later they have to implement and change features that are causing Bitcoin a lot of problem of scalability. The Hype there is now make it even worse.

Every forks believe that they are " what BTC should be" but they fail somewhere.
The core Bitcoin has to see how the new fork is resolving the issue and if it works then they could implement inside it. in other words the forks has to be the test.

I think forking bitcoin is duplication and it can be confusing either now or in the future; that is, taking about the name bitcoin but on the contrary as to the effects, I think it has made bitcoin relevant more and profiting because ever since forking, bitcoin has been going bullish.
Yes, I think many people does not understand which is the main difference between BTC and BCH - I heard once someone said that there are also "fake Bitcoin" nowadays  Grin Cheesy
The free-money is a problem because the short investor see it as a form of gain extra money easily without any effort.
On the other hand there are folks that believe that forks make BTC core stronger and stronger

In my opinion forks are not good because they raise inflation creating new coins. Also, they abuse the name of Bitcoin and that's not fair.
Maybe (but just maybe) there could be some fork done with honest intentions, because its developers really want to implement new feature to make Bitcoin better, but that's not the right way to do it. This way it looks just speculation and free money to get...

We're on the same boat!

They are good for Bitcoin price pumping Cheesy You can noticed on the chart that every time there was a fork it got pumped up and didn't drop.


yes i totally agree with you because i can also notice that everytime theres an upcomming forks or segwits  the price of bitcoin usually starts to increase overtime just before the forks/segwit begins and i think it is because people holds and buys more bitcoin because they are assumming that they could get a free forked coins which is equivalent to their bitcoin balances and that simply means the more your bitcoin balance the more your free forked coins youl also get. one reason i also think that forks are good its because they add innovation to bitcoin by updating or upgrading the bitcoin networks by fixing some major issues and problems like scalling and to increase the current block size to avoid the transactions for getting congested and stuck/unconfirmed.

Great words buddy.
In my opinion however with forks they do not solve any problem inside BTC because they create another altcoin. So the features the implement are only for the new  bitcoin-something. It can at first be thought like it has to be a test before implementing in the main BTC, but at the end we saw that was not something like that.
Instead they continue to fork...

Other than get free-coin unfortunately I do not see it in a good way.

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.

Not totally true.
Even the Bitcoin core has a team behind it and they work even harder.
When they try to add such new features by fork the blockchain creating a new alt coin, they think their coin would become the " Main BTC" because of that problem that it solves.

But for now, they do not change a thing in my opinion. If they truly want to solve a problem they have to act inside the BTC itself otherwise we continue to have such a issues.

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 ?

BTC forks improve bitcoin because it add more demand for btc price .

if you have 10 btc in your wallet before fork willl get 10 btc free from new fork

Yes I know you can get free-coin from a fork. But is it really worth for the community? Or is it another way to gain extra money in short ?

Because if everytime a new Bitcoin fork try to became the " true BTC" by changing some code but it fails miserably it does not make much sense other then make you richer.
