In a piece to perusers on Monday, Wealth Daily cautions that Bitcoin holders remain to lose without insurance.
"A few people are of the supposition that a Bitcoin fork won't occur. In any case, from a web improvement edge, it appears to be unavoidable," it reports.
Taking the occasions encompassing Ethereum's fork as a diagram, the production propagates mainstream recognitions among the Bitcoin people group that a hard fork would cause critical change, and also an instability part between two "forms" of Bitcoin.
"There will now be two tokens, and one will ascend in an incentive according to financial specialists (simply like Ethereum over Ethereum Classic)," it proceeds.
The tone is characteristic of the general unhappiness sliding over business sectors in the midst of a snappy yet still moderately shallow downturn in Bitcoin's fortunes.
By differentiate, Ethereum has fallen considerably more inside the same time allotment, while Bitcoin inches more like a turning point choice to initiate SegWit innovation for its system.
"...Even if a fork doesn't occur, it's critical to be readied," Wealth Daily includes.

I hope not but in reality no one knows. I think that we will all be fine. So long as there are not two bitcoins. If there is a chain split and both chains survive, its probably GG for bitcoin as the gold standard
I also hope that no hard forking happens, we definitely don't need any other bitcoin.
It was just a matter of time before they had to do it.... The network is not able to manage this anymore... most likely the new and faster will be used for purchase and the other as storage value.
Exactly, but how to do the forking is the current debate, hard vs soft!
From the last rumours it seems they will start with a soft in August and moving to a hard in Nov.... I think it is a good strategy to let people accepting the change step by step...
If you're referring to the UASF on August 1st, I wouldn't worry about it. Even attempting it without support from the miners is lunacy. If the UASF occurs, on August 1st bunch of idiots will fork themselves off the network onto a useless chain that won't have more than a single block mined every few hours - and that's assuming there are actually any miners who will be foolish enough to direct their hashpower at a worthless minority chain.
I agree, that would be fool, and it might harm the whole process!
