Can you pease tell what is fork.?
Thnks for update

It is an upgrade or a change in protocol purposely to improve the rules, specs/qualities or performance of a blockchain technology.

Thanks @chichiriya for answering that question.
Yes. That is right! There are 2 types of fork, Hard fork and soft fork.
Hard fork creates two blockchain while a soft fork is meant to result in one.

Ooo nice... Thanks sir

Hmmm i understand it... Thanks

Once the Rockefellers and Rothschild's get in I'm not sure if it's over or moon time.

The more people entering the space, especially from other parts of the world, these whales and/or manipulators will just even out. So adoption is really important. More people going in means moon time.

Thank you for this very informative articles.
