SOFT FORK vs. HARD FORK in Crypto
This article will explain what crypto forks are, the difference between Soft Forks and Hard Forks, and discuss if they’re dangerous.
Have you ever needed to make a big decision? Maybe it’s where to go for college or even to go to college at all. Maybe it’s what car to buy. Maybe it’s who to marry or even if you should break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend. These decisions are big. But they’re big because each option we pick could completely change our path in life. For example, if we decide to marry this person, our life could go one way, and if we choose not to marry them, it could go a completely different way. Some would call these decisions forks in our lives. And if you were to zoom out and see all of your choices, you could see where your life could go a completely different route.
When it comes to big decisions like this, you can look at your life as having two different futures. The future is uncertain. So you have to pick very carefully. There’s a concept in crypto and the developing world to explain major code changes when it comes to having two futures. We call these changes; Forks.
