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?
I am personally, SO SICK, of all the btc forks. I think each one is a more desperate money grab than the next. And I honestly think they only harm the crypto community.
I personally refuse to support by trading, mining, or dealing with btc hardfork coins ...
The only thing I disagree with this is that this damages crypto, because that assumes that the forks are powerful, the only powerful forks are bitcoin cash and in a lesser degree bitcoin gold every other fork is just a piece of valueless trash that are not worth our time.
