Hello i want to understund what is the meaning of forks in the world of crypto and why devlopers do it
Thanks

Forks are crap, i can not understand why a lot of people are still trying to claim them all.

It is very obvious that the developers are always trying to create those forks in order to make some money, otherwise, they wouldn't be doing such that work.

Honestly, most of them are scam, or just crappy projects.

Take a look over Super Bitcoin, how the fuck could people buy this forked coin? And there is a lot of people who is still holding them all in order to sell them in months from now

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Forks can occur from two different events. An accidental fork occurs if coin updates are not truly compatible. People using different versions of the software create two different ledgers–one from the older version, and one from the newer version. In this circumstance the coin developer must rapidly eliminate the bugs causing the incompatibilities and decide how to merge the different blockchains.

A hard fork is generated when the cryptocurrency’s developers decide that changes must be made to the programming of the coin that will create incompatibilities between the older and newer version. When the changes are made, all users of that coin must willing to update all applications to continue to use that coin type correctly.

Devs try to change something no the original blockchain and create a separate new blockchain and a new coin. Usually this happen when they want to upgrade any coni. perfect example is bitcoin and the bitcoincash.

Forks is a software development or engineering. It happens when developers take a copy from the project source code, a system package and start it independently with their own community and creating separate piece of the software. It is kind alike to split but still different. Examples are Bitcoin: XT, Classic and Unlimited.

forks, diversifying. imagine a mass adoption coming and everything will rely on bitcoin alone, considering the transaction speed and cost of bitcoin, there has to be a competition, which will make this adoption work just like what we have in the current system, dollar vs. euro, which would make a healthy system.

The meaning of a fork is basically a disagreement in the way the coin is being run and as a result that is why it forks off. They do it because the visions aren't aligning and when you want to do something else either you struggle or make your own coin and forking is the way of not struggling.

Forks are differences on the coin programming which generate a new 'coin' using the new technology and algorithms, as an example a code implementation on an existing coin will cause a fork
