ELI5: Hard fork/ soft fork? (self.Buttcoin)

romad20000Just invested in bicoin..... and it's gone. が 投稿

So yesterday was a soft fork? Is this bitcoin jargon for "hard fork dont call it that but its the same thing?" So my understanding is that a few miners didnt perform some computer check. Which probably was in their rational self interest as it slowed down the amount of money they could potentially make? Who lost out in this race? Did the pools (antminer and F2p) lose out on the blocks once everything was resolved? Did anyone get sorryforlossed? Whats to stop this from occuring again?

Soft fork = the new rules are stricter than the old rules.

Hard fork = the new rules are less strict than the old rules.

If you're running a client (and not a miner), you don't need to update for a soft fork, since all new blocks are also valid by the old rules. You do need to update for a hard fork because otherwise you'll see the new blocks as invalid.

Good sir, you are thinking too hard about this. Hard forks and soft forks are just technical mumbo jumbo. They have to do with the hash stakers and the prime controllers that underly the eleptic curve cryptography system that makes the Block Chain. They are they key to solving the surgeon generals problem--a computer science problem that has plagued mankind since the dawn of computers. It is all in Satoshi's White Paper.

The important thing is the fundamentals of bitcoin. Have you seen the fundamentals chart lately? It is a completely flat line. Why? The bitcoin fundamentals have not changed. Bitcoin is stronger than ever and that won't ever change. Bitcoin is a trustless trust-based system that will revolutionize math, science, war, finance, hunger, human reproduction, and so much more.

How much bitcoin do you hold? You will need more for Satoshi's Interstellar Comet. Here is 23 satoshi's /u/changetip. Use them to board Satoshi's Space Ship when it shows up hours before the world crumbles under stacks of illegally inflated legacy fiat.
