● “Fake Bitcoin Fuels Inflation Fears”

Bitcoin Hard Forks: Why Do Knockoff Coins Fail?

This article delves into the key cryptocurrency market keyword, ‘Bitcoin Hard Fork,’ and the major hard fork coins (BCH, BSV, etc.), and the structural reasons why they are bound to fail in the market.
We will easily explain Bitcoin’s ‘limited supply,’ the ‘inflationary effect’ of hard forks, and the core principles that determine trust and value in the cryptocurrency market.
This article contains the differences between Bitcoin and its knockoff coins, and insights that must be considered when setting up a blockchain investment portfolio.

1. What is a Bitcoin Hard Fork?

A Bitcoin hard fork refers to a newly branched chain from the existing Bitcoin blockchain due to code ‘upgrades’ or technical/philosophical conflicts.
Representative examples include Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin SV (BSV), and Gold (BTG).
These coins all proclaimed to inherit the original Bitcoin, but they have failed to establish themselves as mainstream in the market.

2. Features and Improvement Claims of Hard Fork Coins

• Limited Supply: Limited to 21 million, the same as Bitcoin. Emphasizes low supply.
• POW (Proof-of-Work) Mining Method: Maintains the same mining security and distributed characteristics.
• Increased Block Size: Claims to improve transmission speed and scalability. Promotes ‘faster payments.’

However, the market response has been minimal.

3. The Hidden Link Between Hard Forks and Inflation

The core concept of Bitcoin is to be ‘digital gold’ to counter ‘inflation based on central bank monetary policy.’
Hard fork coins derived from this superficially claim a limit of 21 million each, but in reality, if all sorts of ‘knockoff Bitcoins’ are mass-produced and all those coins are treated as valuable money in the market, then it is effectively no different from overall inflation (over-supply of virtual currency).
If the alternatives to the original Bitcoin increase, the fundamental scarcity and reliability are compromised.

4. Actual Market Reaction: ‘Only the Original is Treated as Money’

· Hard fork coins like Bitcoin Cash and SV may seem technically better.
· However, the market and investors recognize them as ‘knockoffs’ and do not recognize them as a means of storing value.
· No matter how fast and functional they are, only the original Bitcoin itself preserves the trust and uniqueness of ‘digital gold.’
· The market share of knockoff coins decreases over time, and Bitcoin’s monopolistic status only strengthens.

5. Investment/Economic Perspective: Why Are Hard Fork Coins Bound to Fail?

– Economically, hard forks cause potential inflation.
– From an investor’s perspective, recognize that the ‘first/original network’ and its credibility are the key to long-term value.
– The miner and technician communities are scattered among hard fork coins, and internal disputes are also serious.
– The market’s instinctive judgment: Without unique scarcity, the role of value storage is lost.

6. Future Prospects and Investment Points

· When constructing a Bitcoin portfolio, it is realistic to keep the investment ratio for hard fork coins extremely low.
· Hard fork coins will continue to emerge in the future, but the market’s cold assessment is that it is difficult for them to be recognized as ‘real money.’
· The narrative of Bitcoin as ‘digital gold’ to escape central bank inflation is solidifying into an irreplaceable story.

< Summary >

Bitcoin hard forks (e.g., BCH, BSV) tout various advantages such as limited supply, POW mining, and technical improvements.
However, the 'scarcity' and 'reliability' of the original Bitcoin determine the value of money in the digital money market.
Increase in hard fork coins = Overall inflation effect = Damage to trust, ignored by the market.
Only the 'original' is real money. Hard forks have short-term speculative uses, but no fundamental long-term value.

Bitcoin Hard Fork Knockoff Coin Failure Causes and Investment Perspectives

Bitcoin, Blockchain, Hard Fork, Inflation, Cryptocurrency

• Bitcoin hard forks (BCH, BSV, etc.) emphasize only the advantages such as limited supply, POW, and increased block size instead of the scarcity of the original.
• If many knockoff coins are created, an inflation effect occurs in the cryptocurrency market, damaging the inherent value of Bitcoin.
• The market and investors only treat ‘Original Bitcoin’ as real digital money.
• Investing in hard fork coins remains speculative, and it is difficult to establish itself as a reliable means of storing value from a long-term perspective.
• When setting up an investment portfolio, it is recommended to minimize the proportion of Bitcoin hard fork coins.

● BJ’s Restaurant, “Small Happiness” Economics

<h4>U.S. Restaurant Market Crisis and BJ's Restaurant's Reversal Growth Story</h4>


<p>
In this article, I'll cover everything from the impact of former President Trump's tariff policies, which are adding uncertainty, the polarized performance trends in the U.S. restaurant industry, and the story of <b>BJ's Restaurants</b>, which is receiving a lot of attention from Wall Street for its crazy performance reversal.
I'll cover everything from the reversal that started with a simple hit menu (Pizookie) viral, the actual operating store/profit strategy, and the future market outlook.<br>
In particular, I will provide a close look at the latest U.S. consumption trends, the franchise industry, the interpretation of performance announcements, investment points, and the impact on the industry and the economy as a whole, so be sure to read to the end.
</p>


<h3>Global Restaurant Industry, Uncertainty & Crisis Spread</h3>
<p>
- Due to the impact of Trump's tariff policy, U.S. local companies are experiencing 'double hardship' due to supply chain disruptions, soaring raw material prices, and economic contraction.<br>
- McDonald's, a leading franchise, continues to struggle with a 3.6% decrease in first-quarter sales compared to the same period last year.<br>
- Chipotle also saw its first decrease in same-store sales since 2020, and concerns about an economic recession are rapidly shrinking demand for dining out itself.<br>
- The entire restaurant industry is exposed to two major risks: sluggish consumption and unstable supply and demand of raw materials.<br>
</p>


<h3>BJ's Restaurant, the Protagonist of Performance Reversal</h3>
<p>
- BJ's Restaurant is a <b>casual dining</b> franchise founded in 1978. It is a completely different company from the warehouse-type mart BJ's Wholesale.<br>
- In the first-quarter earnings announcement, where most of the industry was sluggish, <b>BJ's Restaurant's sales increased by 3.2% to $348 million and operating profit increased by 10% to $56.56 million</b>.<br>
- <b>EPS (earnings per share) was $0.58</b>, an 80% surge compared to the same period last year ($0.32). It almost doubled Wall Street's expectations.<br>
- Thanks to this, the stock price soared 30% in just one month and became the market's representative 'surprise earnings' stock.<br>
</p>


<h3>Key Success Strategy: Pizookie and Social Splurge</h3>
<p>
- Weapon that drove record profitability = <b>Pizookie</b>, BJ's original dessert that is baked in a pizza pan and topped with ice cream.<br>
- It's actually an old menu that came out in 1997, but in 2024, it went viral like a syndrome on <b>TikTok</b> and became explosively popular.<br>
- MG generation (Millennials, Gen Z) customers certify and spread consumption trends in the form of 'challenges', and they are not only selling Pizookie as a single item but also launching <b>set menus (Mix Deal)</b> and trying to maximize the value of each customer by offering 'Pasta + Pizookie' as a lunch special.<br>
- The store itself has a brewery and owns a beer brewery, and the differentiated strategy of combining BJ's unique fresh craft beer and desserts is effective.<br>
- <b>'Social Splurge'</b>: Emotional marketing that says 'Sometimes I spend a little with friends, but I'm happy' in line with the era of small happiness, inducing 'experiential spending' even in the midst of declining consumption.<br>
</p>


<h3>Strengths from a Financial/Business Structure Perspective</h3>
<p>
- Most of the main raw materials are supplied from within the United States, <b>limiting tariff risks</b>.<br>
- Although there is an impact from the economic contraction, the additional peak season for summer vacation/graduation season in the second half of the year is expected due to the maintenance of the 'experience + viral' based consumer base.<br>
- In this earnings announcement, the annual outlook was revised upward (same-store growth target of 2~3%, annual operating profit target up).<br>
- Actively implementing shareholder return policies such as treasury stock purchases.<br>
</p>


<h3>Market and Investment Perspective Interpretation</h3>
<p>
- Securities firms (Defris) presented a 'buy' opinion + raised the target price (43→44 dollars), expecting solid growth.<br>
- However, some such as benchmarks raise concerns about short-term overheating, with <b>PER (price-to-earnings ratio)</b> over 50 times overvalued.<br>
- If viral & experiential consumption trends are well utilized in the future, there is additional upward momentum. However, the burden of slowing growth rate and valuation (valuation) still exists.<br>
</p>


<h3>Impact on the U.S. Economy and Franchise Market</h3>
<p>
- Despite concerns about an economic recession in the U.S., the 'experience provision', 'social certification', and 'freshness' points are becoming a breakthrough in the restaurant industry.<br>
- Consumers are cutting back on daily spending, but they are not saving on 'light luxury' for special experiences (Pizookie + Brew House).<br>
- BJ's success case provides a signal that 'viral marketing' and differentiated experience strategies can be converted into actual profits throughout the franchise restaurant industry.<br>
</p>




<h3>&lt; Summary &gt;</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Trump's tariff policy is acting as a negative factor for the U.S. restaurant industry as a whole</li>
  <li>BJ's Restaurant, performance and stock price reversal through Pizookie viral</li>
  <li>Strategy points: Differentiated fresh beer and desserts + small happiness empathy marketing</li>
  <li>Low tariff impact, and annual performance outlook is also revised upward → increased investor interest</li>
  <li>However, the burden of short-term overvaluation also coexists, and attention needs to be paid to changes in mid- to long-term consumption trends</li>
</ul>
