I think hardforks are normal to upgrade bitcoin which softfork can not do. It is the way to go when everything fail, even satoshi stated that hardfork can happen. And I think we already experienced a hardfork in bitcoin chain. And as a result, a stronger and more value bitcoin had emerged. Though with this rumored hardfork, I do not know if this will actually help bitcoin.
We don’t need a hard fork, everything wrong with bitcoin today can be fixed with soft fork. We don’t even need bigger blocks right now.
There is problem with how data is allocated in the blockchain – All legitimate uses of the blockchain currently amount to approximately 750k/block average.
Just look at how community is divided over the eventuality of forking bitcoin, uncontroversial hardfork is impossible
I don’t really think that you can say that
I refer to real community here. To be honest, there is no such division whatsoever. This is what we are led to believe by a small number of rogue miners and paid shills. This is an absolute truth because an absolute majority of bitcoin full nodes (the total number of which exceeds 30 thousand units) support SegWit. I don’t know what other proof one may need to understand how insignificant the BU support actually is among active bitcoin users and how vocal the shills should be
