Hardforks should be avoided at all cost!
A hardfork of a blockchain, can be exactly compared to the mitosis of a cell. The DNA of a cell is copied from 1 nucleus to the other, and then the cell is divided. The same way the blockchain (which is like the genetic code of bitcoin) is copied, and then the chain itself is divided.
(Yes ladies and gentlemen,Bitcoin literally is an artificial living organism like a cell.)
Therefore if you are invested in Bitcoin, your money will also be divided in half because the money will exist on both chains therefore it is like doubling the maximum supply from 21,000,000 BTC to 42,000,000 BTC. Yes many shills are telling you that a hardfork will stabilize fast and everyone will jump to 1 chain or the other. But that is never the case in nature, it's always a 50-50% equilibrium eventually.

Bitcoin
Ethereum
Therefore if a Bitcoin hardfork were to occur, most likely your money will be halved, because both chains would be equally valid, and they will both coexist, and the supply of the coins doubles.
So only an idiot would support a hardfork, which is literally begging for your money to be halved.
Only shills and pundits tell you that in the event of a hardfork the majority absorbs the minority, but we can clearly see that is not the case with ETH at the moment. We shall see how it will unfold, it is a learning lesson for bitcoin.
RECENT NEWS:
That said, this was also unnecessary and off-topic. You know somebody has a weak standing ground if they have to include others every time they attempt to make an argument. I can't stress this enough as this quite bad for any thread. Unless you have any valid arguments for a hard fork here, please stop wasting everyone's time.
I've been making that point for almost a year now but nobody listens.
First they say that a hardfork is no big deal, it just happens and then everyone will jump on to the new one. Then they say that maybe the blockchain can split in 2, but the old one will be quickly absorbed into the new one.
Then ETC is alive for almost 6 months now... How quickly will that old blockchain be absorbed exactly?
It's pointless to argue with irrational people, these people have no sense of reality whatsoever. Even if you look at politics, when has any party had 100% approval rating, it's impossible. Once you create an opposition, people will flow to it, automatically like Osmosis:

It's this natural behaviour of things that I illustrate in this thread, whether you compare blockchains to cells, it is always the same. Once you break something, you cannot put it back together and glue it, it will never be the same.

So the only option is to never break it.
And yes look at ETH, looks like it will be hardforked again:

This is so hilarious, I warned you people, once you create a hardfork, it will be a permanent perpetual hardfork, it wont be just a 1 time solution, it will be abused every single time.
It's like the One Ring, once you put it on, there is no turning back, it will be abused every single time possible.
Next thing you know they will start hardforking your money out of your wallet, because you might be suspected by someone, something, somewhere, sometime....
Seriously, people need to hold their ground, and dont give in to bullshit.
