of course everyone has an opinion. I personally would like to see a soft-fork.
I really don't want to see two different bitcoins..
Just one bitcoin...The one and only!
here is the definition of hard fork, by bitcoin.org follows:
"Hard Fork, Hard-Forking Change - Bitcoin Glossary
https://bitcoin.org/en/glossary/hard-fork
Definition. A permanent divergence in the block chain, commonly occurs when non-upgraded nodes can't validate blocks created by upgraded nodes that follow ..."
If the hard fork happens we will see two different block chains for bitcoin...(eg; Ethereum & Ethereum Classic)
I would really like to know what is your preference. Would you like to see two (2) different bitcoins OR just one, like we have today...???
