When you read old threads, you will hear of many soft forks and including a few hard forks that gave birth to Bitcoin Cash , Bitcoin gold, Bitcoin SV. The last one should be BSV in 2018.
What happened differently that there are no threats or signs of forking?
Bitcoin XT was the first Bitcoin fork, created in 2014 in the history of Bitcoin but I didn't know about this fork for a long time. The first major and mainstream Bitcoin fork was Bitcoin Cash. You could claim BCH if you had Bitcoins in your wallet. When the BCH fork happened and the price of the coin was 1000$, people realised that by creating forks they would get easy money, so that's why so many forks happened in the old days. ICOs were also very popular back then. Today, these things aren't trendy, today, NFTs and Ordinals make you more money. Everything changes, trends come and go.
