we need only 1 bitcoin and other only altcoins not forks.

if we need forks max will support only one "bitcoin cash".

Yes its true. I am confusing with the developer of bitcoin, why so many fork are applied?
I dont think it gives positive impact to bitcoin itself. More people think that this is like scam.

Forks for the sake of forks are no good. However forks that end up offering a real improvement can't be all bad.
Having said that I would like to see fewer forks and more improvements to the original bitcoin!

Only the bitcoin cash that offers segwit to the bitcoin blockchain and another forks after that just suck. How segwit 2x with new unknown developer are trying to cheating us with pre mined 6 million coin. But what the hell was happened with these forks shitcoin.

We do not need more forks. When outsiders look at what happens it loses credibility. I think these for the most part are money grabs.

Same thoughts. You don't see countries fork their currencies. That's called forgery.
Forking, forgery...all the same to some people.

I do not have problems with forks as long as there is a real intention from the developers to create something new, forking software is very common in the free software community what I do not agree is that many of the forks are just attempts to make money.

THE WORLD'S FIRST FIXED MONTHLY ALLOWANCE PLAN

I think it depends on how important to make some changes from Bitcoin into another level like Segwit2x, their aim is to extend scalability like increasing the block size from 1mb into 4mb, increasing the transaction speed from 4 transactions a second into 16 per second and so on.
These kind of hard forks are necessary to accommodate users demands that's why hard forking Bitcoin's core sometimes is a must.

I'm holding BTC for long time. I like forks) Easy money from nothing) just bonus for patient)

Forks are not free money, forks are stealing from the value of bitcoin and from the brand, don't you think it is funny that not a single one of the forks has excluded bitcoin from its name, because they know that without that no one will buy their useless coins.

Yes, everybody is thinking through forks we are getting free money but it is completely wrong and many people want to divert their money into other BTC clones. Even though they are from hard forks but trading in terms of BTC only.

I have not claimed my free tokens and that has been a good move since some of those tokens have gone up nicely, but I'm not going to buy them, why I should get bitcoin gold or bitcoin cash when I'm already holding the best coin you can hold in the form of bitcoin.

It's free but they damage the ecosystem of bitcoin. We really don't need anymore bitcoin forks. They don't do anything after the fork happens, they get o the excahnges and get traded between people, pitty, that's all.

While the forks have gotten a bad name because of blockchain splitting and people getting free money we need to keep in mind that in open source development forks are natural. They usually occur when developers have a difference of ideas on where the project will go. Some good forks to consider are Libre office which forked from Openoffice and Nextcloud from owncloud. In both those cases the fork was the one adopted while the original was neglected. So tech wise, it might be good and we might get a bitcoin that is worth more tech wise. But we shall see

Judging from how much the owners of bitcoin cash made i suspect there will be a lot more bitcoin forks this year. Binance appears to be a good place to collect the forked coins, if you are brave enough to leave your coins on an exchange

sometimes Hardfork greatly affects the market situation of cryptocurrency.
Hardfork provides benefits to Bitcoin holders. they hunt Bitcoin just to benefit from Bitcoin hardfork. so the price of Bitcoin will go up.

These hardforks are needed for price correction and so investors could jump in the bandwagon. And most people who are holding bitcoin would benefit from these hardforks as well and some altcoins too.

Seriously, if we just look at how many hardforks bitcoin will get this month. Will that have a positive or negative impact on bitcoin?

I can imagine, now that bitcoin becomes more and more mainstream, that more forks will follow next year. However does a negative hardfork impact bitcoin in the future?

personally actually i do not really need more fork anymore because it can make the price become unstable. indeed a fork could have made a positive effect but it would still be an early fear.

Decentralized Ascending Auctions on Blockchain

Yes, Because I am holding Bitcoin. After each fork I can receive free coins. lol.... but to be honest, I think that there are too many forks now and it does not help anything to original Bitcoin. it can not improve the weaknesses of Bitcoin.

We don't need any BTC forks, we need BTC upgrade with consensus. Anybody can fork the chain, even you can choose your own path and fork it. But if nobody follow your path then it won't have any value. People give value to money. That's why most forks are trash already. I don't think Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold can survive longer.

That is what the next segregated witness gonna do. They will increase the block size and number of confirmations will increasew because of this effect. When the block size increase you will find the time to take confirmation will be reduced.
I am not use what is the name of splitting coin. I am eager to know about if. If anyone knows please share about it.
But this effect will be good for bitcoin and everyone will find the big bump in the chart.

We really don't need more. Besided, bitcoin should be improved by the coders. Getting new forked ones doesn't help the community. They all say lies to us and they don't do anything in bitcoin forks.

I don't see any need for btc forks if only to improve btc. I humbly opine that internal upgrading and improvement is what should be done. I believe btc forks creates clones.

Maybe... If there are changes in our world where blockchains must be able to be adoptable.. at the moment i think we have got enough forks already and i dont think we need that.
