So there has been a lot of forks and I'm sure many to come. I've started to buy some of these because in this market you fill up the bags, planning on keeping long term. What do you all think?

(And please don't bite my head off because I am genuinely interested in the opinions of some of the older members)

I believe that most of these projects are absolutely unnecessary, they do not bring neither profit nor any new idea. It's better for me to invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum and other promising altcoins.

many of the fork that happens then this will be the same as was the case for last December. It will be a lot of that came because of a large increase in naturally occurring within it. It is a chance that it does at least have to do to get results as much as possible. but when it is finished there will certainly be a decline lasting volume large enough to make the market fall would be deep enough.

Normally forking is not a preferable option by most of the users. But if we do have to pick one; go for BitcoinCash. That is what most of the people opt for.

Forking is alright. But going only for BTC maybe a risky move. It will be better if you invest in altcoins too alongside to avoid risks.

Since the appearance of Bitcoin, a large number of Forks have already been created, but most of them do not carry anything new - either they are exact copies of Bitcoin, or differences only in the rate of emission

I believe that Bitcoin Cash is a good one. A lot of people disagree but if you dive deeper in Satoshi's white paper you will see the block size has never been an issue. It was written the the block size should be increased whenever it is needed.

I think bitcoin forks are totally useless. They are not very useful because most of them are created by many incompetent developers. It was supposed to be a updated version but it lacks many thing and it cannot be a replacement for real bitcoin or other alternatives. so i prefer buying alternatives like etheruem; litecoin instead of buying bitcoin forks. These forks will stay for a few months and then i will fall. But if you invest in alternatives then there is many other ideas which you can go through. so my opinion is negative about bitcoin forks.

From my perspective i think most of the bitcoin forks are not providing any new features for the investors. They can't add any innovation that’s why i think invests on other altcoin is a good option.

Do you think that investors are not very educated people? And if this is so, where do they get it?

Apart from Bitcoin Cash I haven't seen a fork worthy of investing in. I wouldn't even suggest you to purchase BCH as it didn't really really attract me or seemed like a good coin to me.

My personal opinion is that almost all the Bitcoin forks are nothing but shitcoins which were introduced by the inventors of those coins either because they couldn't afford a Bitcoin themselves or they felt too pity for people who couldn't get their hands on a Bitcoin. It is better to avoid investing on forks but if you really insist on it; I would suggest go for BCH.

Forked coins is just an another shitcoin on my own opinion.It has nothing to do or make any difference on the coin on where it was forked. The thing here that there are some forked coins do able to withstand and do gain support by some like BCH and ETC but the rest end up on having no much support gained and remain their prices do low but I don't totally see any difference or usage just like on Roger shit coin.

Bitcoin is mother currency and I can say that beating bitcoin thru alts is not an easy game. BTC always dominate the market and alt coins are dependent on this. I am not much aware about the technical algorithm about crypto like block and frequency. But I can say that no matter what alt coins do to capture more crypto market but its very very difficult for them to replace BTC.

I honestly stay away from the fork coins. Bitcoin is fine the way it is and is ever improving. I don't see much of a reason to have clones. With the array of choices out there in the alt coin world I would feel more confident in one of those.

I prefer to purchase Altcoins than these forks because they will just try to attract more people to invest without feasible commodities to offer therefore it is clearly that they will just rely to the money of the people for their own good. No wonder that until now there is no fork that was appreciated except by you so good luck then.

Many to come? If ever there will be more of it, those are going to be dead soon. But if you hold bitcoin and you just receive those forks, you can do what you want. Selling them for quick profits or if you think it will be valuable, hold it.

This is different for someone whos buying bitcoin fork coins, most of those forks were dead and the popular one that stays is BCH.

Majority of us who got this fork sold it already and theres still a market for it because of some misinformation thats being done to the newbies.

If you like bitcoin forks, its your money and we have freedom to choose our own way of investing and the coins we want for long term holding.

Today is a great opportunity for us to buy digital assets, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum. But most of us seem panicked when we see the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum decreasing. In this case I think positively, this is a good opportunity, so don't ignore this opportunity. Buy which coin you like, then you hold it for the next few months. You will get a lot of benefits.

The Bitcoins have a lot of forks and you decide on investing and holding is a right decision. But investment in BTC is a long-term investment because the exchange rate of BTC is not as sharp as altcoins. So if you decide to invest and hold at least 2 years, BTC is a good choice in the current unsettled exchange rate.

Holding bitcoin fork coin is a bad decision so far, you must see that how the majority of bitcoin fork price has been getting a lot of dump and look at these fork coins and they have been loosing a lot of value.
It has no usefulness to hold your bitcoin for coin today.

Forks are used mainly to add and adjust new blockchains for the user. The bitcoin forks have the ability to change two blocks that are similar to each other. Types of bitcoin forks we can find are Bitcoin XT; Bitcoin classic; Bitcoin ultimate.

It's smarter to fill the bag with different Altcoins in light of the fact that I don't see anything extraordinary in Bitcoin forks; there are numerous Altcoins ventures that have crisp thoughts; and I incline toward Altcoins like that instead of Bitcoin forks that just replicated Bitcoin and change a few parameters.

In any case, I believe that the forks of bitcoin have the right to exist. Moreover, we can not affect the process of their appearance. In any case, people are trying to improve the original bitcoin, because it really is now very far behind other promising coins. Still can happen. Some forks have much better functionality than the original bitcoin. Over time, the coin will be popular, which will be very convenient to use and will have better characteristics.

There are many bitcoin forks existed after Bitcoin Cash was established and got the respect of everyone. Because of many forks of bitcoin, some of them are just a scam. In fact, I do not know what are the difference among them because they are just imitating what bitcoin has, they just only change soms of its feature. The only fork of bitcoin I was impressed is Bicoin Cash.

Fork is good for bitcoin holder. They can get free coin from that fork. I think the successfull for is Bitcoin Cash because can maintain price keep high.

In my view, these forks will have short-lived popularity, because there are simply too many of them. The key I think people should be asking themselves is, "Is there really a need for all of these coins?" I really think the market has become too saturated.

Forks of Bitcoin were a real fever, the idea of this possibility was totally misrepresented, it is an alternative to improve the Bitcoin and to follow the directions of the community, but was used widely for the purpose of "printing money". In the long run I do not see any of these forks in a positive scenario, all the "improvements" that they propose can be implemented in Bitcoin if necessary.

The only fork worth holding is Bitcoin Cash. Those other forks has no real usage and might be another pump-and-dump coins. I'm not saying though that Bitcoin Cash is something worth for long term hold, what I'm driving to point out is that with all this forks, only Bitcoin Cash will survived. But then again it doesn't have the full support of the community, so it will be just another altcoin that can be pump anytime whales decided to.

Most bitcoin forks are a joke, they don't have any special/unique features and barely have any community support. Most of them tried make themselves looks unique by increasing block size/weight limit, decreasing block time, implements uncompleted technology (such as LN, Atomic swaps, etc) or add features such as Smart Contract which other cryptocurrency already have.

At first, it wasn't since bitcoiner could earn easy money just by download a wallet and sell the forked coin to exchange/OTC. But now, it becomes a joke and it's value is too small and simply not worth your time unless you have lots of Bitcoin.
Only BCH which can be considered as "successful" since it's market cap value isn't bad and frankly it's the adaption looking good compared to other forks/altcoin.

Whatever are the decisions and opinions of people on the fork, the fork is here to stay and there is not a thing anyone can do about it. What we must now do is to invest in the profitable forks or coins of the bitcoin and use them for the purposes for which the fork emerged in the first instance. The coins certainly have potential and as such we must use them as altcoins.

My opinion about all the forks is simple if you cannot create your own stand-alone cryptocurrency it means that you cannot be trusted so I would not be interested and fully involved in something which was developed on the basement of something other.
