Hello all,
I am wandering if there is or is there will be in the future fake BTC. I dont mean some alt coin, but fake BTC which someone can send you to your wallet. It will be not as easy as print fake money and give them to someone. But who knows, may be in the future there will be such thing which will cause trouble to the network...What is your opinion?

If you have a real bitcoin wallet which is connected to the real Bitcoin network then, by design, this is not possible. The only way I can see this happening would be if you got a fake wallet that connected to a fake network that appeared to behave like Bitcoin.
Pretty easy to detect since the transactions would not appear in the real blockchain and, of course, you could not spend these fake coins to anyone on the real network.
So the short answer is: No BTC cannot be faked but Yes a Bitcoin wallet and the Bitcoin network could be faked.
Make sure you have a real Bitcoin wallet that is connected to the real Bitcoin network!
