Study 2017-18 BTC ‘Blocksize Wars’ & 2025-26 ‘Meme Launchpad Wars’ Both created PvP, fairness narratives, and speculation contributing to a bubble and eventual market volatility. Bitcoin Cash was a Bitcoin hard fork where BTC holders were rewarded a 1:1 airdrop of BCH. While HYPE airdrop, privacy outperforming, and meme metas recreating airdrop rewards are not a Bitcoin hard fork by any means, is the parallel still useful for comparing how ‘hype’ cycles and competing solutions affect Bitcoin price action on a HTF, or does treating modern ALT coins like 2017 forks overstate their structural impact? Food for thought and genuinely curious if anyone has an opinion.
