"Hard fork" splits. Since the value of and support for the currency depend entirely on the community using it, disagreement between the stakeholders may result in the splitting of the network to support new competing cryptocurrencies, this is known as a "hard fork".
For example, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a hard fork from the original Bitcoin. Effectively, BCH is now a different cryptocurrency from the original bitcoin, inviting stakeholders to sell their "old" bitcoins and invest in this new one.
The cofounder of the Bitcoin.com website, Emil Oldenburg, reportedly "sold all my bitcoins recently and switched to Bitcoin Cash".
