  • Hard forks are drastic changes in a certain blockchain that would ‘result’ in an independent blockchain once appeared. As Bitcoin blockchain’s code is open-source, it provides the developers with an opportunity to further modify what currently exists.

  • Hard forks appear when users feel a lack of functionality and a need to develop the platform. Bitcoin Satoshi Vision, though, was supposed to become an authentic BTC blockchain according to the ideas of its creator – a classic payment system without smart contracts.

  • However, neither Bitcoin Cash (another BTC hard fork), nor Bitcoin SV could reach the required network load to even test what they forked from the main BTC blockchain. Uh-oh.

It's the work of a wonderful Spanish team that now translated the documentary to English:

About Community

This is a subreddit for discussion of forking Bitcoin to allow a free-market and consent-based approach to Bitcoin's / Bitcoin Cash's progress. In Bitcoin Cash we brought together like minded people - users, developers, miners - to carry on the experiment that is Bitcoin. We stand ready to fork again should it become necessary to protect Bitcoin to ensure the option of peer-to-peer electronic cash can survive and thrive.
