About hard fork, I can make you calm and say that developers aren't planning to do that. As Lauda said, they can't image if there will be think to do that or not because there people were talking that it would be good if limit of bitcoins (27 million bitcoin) would grow, but staff isn't going to make such changes.

P.S have you reached ROI or not? Now with free electricity ROI is 140% with latest antminers.

All my investments are in cloud mining and what worries me the most is the changes Segwit, Lightning and Teechan can cause in the mining difficulty. I have the impression that if those measures are taken combined over the next years they can break a good amount of bitcoin mining investors and this is imperatively going to influence my mining strategy. What are the best predictions and speculations about these changes? And most important, how many changes like this have taken place after bitcoin creation?

One possibility is Segwit is even more accepted and lightning or teechan is implemented. How can it retract the mining industry? I'm aiming for 1 year to have my investment back, but if I keep reinvesting it I will have all my investment in the miners and one of these changes can abruptly make it no more profitable.

PS: Those changes i'm talking about is those soft and hard forks that affects the amount of transactions that fits on a block, size of the block and so on

PS2: I know halving is going to be brought up in this discussion but we already know its effects and how mining difficulty is changed after this event, so i'm NOT really interested in this subject
