Dad: Son, what is a hard fork, and why does it happen?

Son: Hi Dad,

When Bitcoin splits into two chains, we're talking about a fork. This happens based on protocol changes due to different views.

A new version of Bitcoin is created, and you have coins on both chains if you hold your own private keys.

Dad: With time, one will learn what truly matters.

Son: Yes, Bitcoin, the longest chain with the most blocks and computational power behind it.
