I'm wondering about the specific date of the most recent Bitcoin hard fork. I know hard forks are significant events in the cryptocurrency world, splitting the blockchain and creating new versions. I want to stay updated on these developments, so knowing the timeline of the latest hard fork would be helpful. When was the last Bitcoin hard fork?
