There's a lot of mention that Bitcoin will be forked on August 1st.
Let's have a discussion regarding that. If you have an investment suggestion for the meantime, do not just post an image of a coin's icon on a rocket ship.
For starters,
>Potential fork(s)
Because of transactions times and fees, Bitcoin's scalability problems are becoming clear. We can assume there will be one fork that is the original Bitcoin as is, and the other fork is Bitcoin with changes such as Segwit and Lightning Network.
We can discuss whether or not these changes will improve transaction times and fees, and the underlying drama on why these are so controversial.
>Potential impacts on Bitcoin's value
Ethereum had something similar happen to it, which is the split between Ethereum Classic and Ethereum itself. Allegedly at the time, Ethereum for both cases lost a large portion of its value.
Reasons why Bitcoin will replicate the effects of the fork, and why it would not could be discussed.
>Would the fork even happen at all?
