I have recently seen many people discussing about bitcoin fork,and I literally have no idea on what it is.
No trolls please.


In short, there's a split in the direction a coin is taking, so a duplicate is made of the blockchain and a new coin is created, the two can then go their individual ways.


Hello. I'm so happy reading this thread because this is one of the things I want to understand.
Just for clarification, do you mean fork is a duplicate coin or token from the original?
I am right?
