Unlike BTC/ETH, BTS loves hard forking; the community is aligned and new features are added without all the drama. In a healthy, thriving block chain hard forks are great news and a sign that the tech is maturing. Go Bitshares Go!

IMO this is because DPoS is a much more agile consensus mechanism than PoW.

A we get 2 chains.
B we get free coins
