Bitcoin forks are variably defined as changes to the Bitcoin network protocol or as situations that occur “when two or more blocks have the same block height.” A fork influences the validity of the rules. Giving the preliminary concept of what it means, it can be said that forks are generally performed to add new features to a blockchain, to reverse the effects of hacking or catastrophic errors. Forks require consensus to resolve or else a permanent split arises. A hard fork would be the perfect strategy to protect assets within the bitcoin network, it should be valued as it would help more efficiently reverse network damage.
