Advertisers are extremely hip to the fact that, while people enjoy cute/funny content and rally around sad/inspirational content, it's the anger-inducing content that keeps users on a site for much longer than any other emotional response.

I do that with some company that sells overpriced magnet USB cables that appear identical to the Chinese ones I stocked up on for a fraction of the price. I like to check on their prices sometimes and admire the brazen scammery they're engaging in, while simultaneously loving up their algorithm because I will actually steer people away from them.

A Timeline of Bitcoin Hard Forks
Bitcoin XT
Bitcoin XT was one of the first notable hard forks of bitcoin. The software was launched by Mike Hearn in late 2014 in order to include several new features he had proposed. While the previous version of bitcoin allowed up to seven transactions per second, Bitcoin XT aimed for 24 transactions per second. In order to accomplish this, it proposed increasing the block size from one megabyte to eight megabytes.3

Bitcoin XT initially saw success, with more than 1,000 nodes running its software in the late summer of 2015.4 However, just a few months later, the project lost user interest and was essentially abandoned by its users. Bitcoin XT is no longer available, with its original website now defunct.

Bitcoin Classic
When Bitcoin XT declined, some community members still wanted block sizes to increase. In response, a group of developers launched Bitcoin Classic in early 2016. Unlike XT, which proposed increasing the block size to eight megabytes, classic intended to increase it to only two megabytes.3

Like Bitcoin XT, Bitcoin Classic saw initial interest, with about 2,000 nodes for several months during 2016.4 The project also still exists today, with some developers strongly supporting Bitcoin Classic. Nonetheless, the larger cryptocurrency community seems to have generally moved on to other options.

Bitcoin Unlimited
Bitcoin Unlimited has remained something of an enigma since its release in early 2016. The project's developers released code but did not specify which type of fork it would require. Bitcoin Unlimited set itself apart by allowing miners to decide on the size of their blocks, with nodes and miners limiting the size of blocks they accept, up to 16 megabytes.3

Despite some lingering interest, bitcoin unlimited has largely failed to gain acceptance.

Segregated Witness
Bitcoin Core developer Pieter Wuille presented the idea of Segregated Witness (SegWit) in late 2015. Put simply, SegWit aims to reduce the size of each bitcoin transaction, thereby allowing more transactions to take place at once. SegWit was technically a soft fork. However, it may have helped to prompt hard forks after it was originally proposed.5

Bitcoin Cash
In response to SegWit, some bitcoin developers and users decided to initiate a hard fork in order to avoid the protocol updates it brought about. Bitcoin Cash was the result of this hard fork. It split off from the main blockchain in August 2017, when Bitcoin Cash wallets rejected bitcoin transactions and blocks.

Bitcoin Cash remains the most successful hard fork of the primary cryptocurrency. As of June 2021, it is the eleventh-largest digital currency by market cap, owing in part to the backing of many prominent figures in the cryptocurrency community and many popular exchanges.6

Bitcoin Cash allows blocks of eight megabytes and did not adopt the SegWit protocol.7

Bitcoin Gold
Bitcoin Gold was a hard fork that followed shortly after bitcoin cash, in October 2017. The creators of this hard fork aimed to restore the mining functionality with basic graphics processing units (GPU), as they felt that mining had become too specialized in terms of equipment and hardware required.8

Although it was initially possible to mine bitcoin using personal laptops and desktop computers, the growing mining difficulty, as well as the advent of Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASICs) hardware created specifically for bitcoin mining, has made it all but impossible to profitably mine bitcoin at home using the processing speed of an individual computer. Some bitcoin forks, including Bitcoin Gold, have attempted to make bitcoin more accessible by changing the hardware necessary to establish a network connection.

One unique feature of the Bitcoin Gold hard fork was a "pre-mine," a process by which the development team mined 100,000 coins after the fork had taken place.9 Many of these coins were placed into a special "endowment," and developers have indicated that this endowment will be used to grow and finance the bitcoin gold ecosystem, with a portion of those coins being set aside as payment for developers as well.

Generally, Bitcoin Gold adheres to many of the basic principles of bitcoin. However, it differs in terms of the proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm it requires of miners.10

SegWit2x
When SegWit was implemented in August 2017, developers planned on a second component to the protocol upgrade. This addition, known as SegWit2x, would trigger a hard fork stipulating a block size of two megabytes.11

SegWit2x was slated to take place as a hard fork in November 2017. However, a number of companies and individuals in the bitcoin community that had originally backed the SegWit protocol decided to back out of the hard fork in the second component. To some extent, the backlash was a result of SegWit2x including opt-in (rather than mandatory) replay protection; this would have had a major impact on the types of transactions that the new fork would have accepted.

On November 8, 2017, the team behind SegWit2x announced that their planned hard fork had been canceled as a result of discrepancies among previous backers of the project.12

pretty fantastic at financial crimes, the problem is

1) finding crimes rich white people care about that
2) aren't being committed by politically-connected people who can
3) either get an AG to punt or
4) frame the case in such a way that an American jury of aspirational millionaires won't have the stomach to find guilty on the serious counts

our fawning upward class conscious makes financial crimes law enforcement extremely challenging along every. step. of. the. way.

Like, if you want a good entry point for why it seems like wealthy criminals can do anything without consequence, start with interviews with random financial crimes investigators or regulators. Half the field is libertarians who will say with a straight face that they regularly question whether they should be intervening at all, and the other half are neocons who straight up say that they shouldn't be intervening.

Remember: it is open, on-paper policy in federal law enforcement that new talent ought not be leftward of Ronald Reagan, to the point that federal agencies spend a lot of money on expensive HR consulting firms to screen for that specific ideological benchmark.
