The article discusses the history and implications of Bitcoin hard forks. It explains that hard forks are created when new Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) are introduced, and if an activation threshold is met, a new version of Bitcoin is created. However, most hard forks have been unsuccessful in gaining traction and have resulted in new coins rather than successful versions of Bitcoin. The article highlights that the block size has been a major point of contention in hard forks, with different versions proposing different block sizes. It also mentions that the introduction of Segregated Witness (SegWit) through a soft fork has paved the way for Bitcoin's own layer 2 scaling solution, the Lightning Network. The article concludes that while hard forks may experience temporary price boosts, the original Bitcoin remains the most secure and valuable cryptocurrency.
