When a coin moves forward to a hard fork is it for good or is it for bad? do you think that its price will rise or fall ? would you invest on a coin that has done hard fork? and what would you do if you own a coin that has announced a hard fork? would you sell it or not?
In fact, it all depends on what the coin and fork promise. For example, during last year's NXT fork, the expectation was very high and the NXT almost made it x10. But the ETC did not create the expected effect during the hard fork.
You're right. I remember when i loaded up ETC last year due to the upcoming fork but the price didn't rise as expected as the hype was very low unlike the NXT fork. For the upcoming eth's fork, i think it's a significant fork as it will change ethereum from using pow to pos.
