This year has been one of the more controversial years for Bitcoin thus far. We have already seen a number of important forks happen – SegWit, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold, and we’re scheduled to witness some other forks soon – Bitcoin Cash doing a hard fork, SegWit2x looming ever closer, and we might even see some emergency PoW change hardfork in response to SegWit2x.
