Aside from the publicly known forks, how many times has Bitcoin actually been split and ended up with duplicate supply? Given the state of the early administration there must be a few million coins at least that won't reconcile.
Who cares? Longest chain wins
>>62438146What counts as a fork? Does it need to be public and have some amount of active nodes? Does the coin have to have some $ value in some exchange? Does it need a name and a logo? If you want to be philosophical you can think that there already exists infinite amount of Bitcoin forks, no one is just running nodes for them.
>>624381460. Bitcoin only has 1 chain
>>62438146>ended up with duplicate supplyWhat the fuck are you even asking here? What do you mean "won't reconcile"? I really like the jpg you posted so I will tell you that off the top of my head I remember Bitcoin Diamond used to be a thing and I'm pretty sure eCash is still around. Since these are all different chains, these coins will never mix with each other and thus this idea of reconciliation doesn't make much sense. Maybe you're retarded or ESL or both? If I remember correctly, Litecoin is like 99% Bitcoin's code with very few differences, maybe it's changed since then. Let's not pretend that Litecoin's supply is going to somehow taint the current BTC supply. You can make a strong argument that Litecoin is a fork and, like all forks, detracts from Bitcoin's marketcap. I don't know what you want. What do you want? TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT.
None of them really mattered but BIP-110 will matter a lot. If it hard forks it could make the current Bitcoin obsolete and all the coins Coinbase and MSTR hold would become nearly worthless. Majority of hash will move to and nodes will point to BIP-110, Bitcoin Core will be left behind.
