If you’ve been paying attention to the business world in the last couple of years, this will not come as a surprise.

While the absurd volatility of the most valued currency on the market – Bitcoin – does not exactly make it a risk yet, it is a legitimate cause for concern for those who look at the past.

While not all of them (or none of them) might come to pass, you should be prepared to the possibility and know how to manage your assets effectively in case they do. A fork is a result of an update to the specific coin’s programming. And it can either be intentional and unintentional. Both can potentially cause serious price fluctuations, and it is difficult to say which one can be more damaging. In both cases, two ledgers are created, and if an unintentional or accidental fork is a result o ..read more
