Topic: Are hard forks bad for a cryptocurrency? (Read 104 times)
Even since Ethereum Classic "hard forked" from the Ethereum blockchain, other cryptocurrency projects started to follow. After ETC came into inception, Bitcoin Cash was forked off the Bitcoin blockchain a year later. Some say that hard forks are dangerous as they can disrupt the whole Blockchain, while others say that hard forks are necessary in order to improve the network in every way. In the case of the original Bitcoin (BTC), it has avoided hard forks at all costs, only introducing a "soft fork" with the aim of protecting the Blockchain. As for me, this is all very confusing.
