For those who are puzzled and overwhelmed by crypo forks, I want to share my view on how I pick my fork.
Forks are beautiful. If we could fork Earth, we would have much less lively and fruitless debates and would all live in the world that we deserve, for better or worse. The Dems would have their planet, and the GOP would have theirs. Hey, most social media are US-centric, so I am using this picture. As a Swiss citizen, I would say: the SVP (a party that believes in simple solutions to complex problems) would have their world, and the SP (a party that believes in egalitarianism, to everyone's needs from everyone's abilities) would have theirs.
I chose BTC over BCH and BSV right away based on two pictures: (a) the blockchain is not the holy grail. It is the toxic waste that we need to accept to allow peer-to-peer transactions. Hence I chose the chain with the least waste: BTC.
Hive and Steem? If it were not for decentralization and censorship-resistance, I would still post on Facebook. So Hive was the logical choice.
One could argue that keeping all fork coins is the perfect hedge. I am okay with that; it is a valid strategy. However, I don't want to over-complicate my (already complicated) life and always sell the forks for my favorite.
My two hives.
