Well i think we should don't focus speculate what will happen in august 1 you should think that the price drop was normal every year..
Expect that we will experience of price drop just a little bit this coming august but  we will see a large pump of the price if we will see a good result that can push the value more high i am expecting that the price could be hit $3,500 after activation..
So its still possible that bitcoin will pump but we will experience small drop price..

When Ether had it's hard fork (and some people continued to mine ETC), the price tanked and stayed down for about nine months.

Speculators don't like these kinds of contentious disagreements. And there will be alts waiting on the sidelines hoping to take advantage and be the bitcoin killer.
You nailed it Wink Altcoins will try to take advantage of foggy situation. There are good alternative coins compared to bitcoin in terms of investing and high transaction fees.

We should seriously change the way we look at these things such as chain split, as we can all see there are some other coins attracting people, many of us mining alts already you asked why?
Because Bitcoin mining is not easy any more, how long before it gets so hard that not even big companies could keep it going?
What if it grows to a  certain level that only governments could provide the electricity and maintain the operations of mining?

We are looking at it like it's a girl and when some body talks about sharing/split we get mad and our blood start boiling for no reason lol it's not a girl.
I believe Bitcoin should split every 8 years and those new chains also could split after 16 years and then 32 years and so on, eventually we'll have 6-10 coins but we know they are all forks of BTC, that is why I'd say devs should plan these forks themselves and not letting strangers to code these new coins.

We need branches, how many alts are out there? they are low volume and price but still they are actively being traded.
Do you think it's a good thing if Bitcoin grows to the difficulty level that in order to mine you'd need to harness the energy from a star?

Some body has to take the lead before strangers AKA Wu lol split us with a shady new code.

Most of people speculate bitcoin dump because of 1st Aug event. But this is one of my assumptions: most of people will withdraw their bitcoin to the wallet, there will be less bitcoin on exchange causing low supply >>> price will increase. What's your opinion?

People might not just withdraw their bitcoins; they might sell it for fiat. More people will be hesitant to buy bitcoins because of the uncertainty. In effect, that might be the cause of the dip in price we are seeing now.
just seeing that point mate, with those who really doesn't understand how the system works and only look for this as an investment not a system that will help to lessen third party when making transactions, they are the reason why this certain downfall is happening so lets see if how this things change up after aug 1 how people or investors will survive.

IMO there won't be a fork, Bitcoin will continue as it is. The biggest thing holding the price back today is fork fear, and after that's gone the price will continue upwards. There will probably be a stampede of people buying back in after the fork fear's gone.

actually most people are speculating "things are not clear" and because of that anything is possible.
the only reason for the price drop is the fear of a fork and a split because of it. but if that date comes and none of that happens, things will change fast from a drop into a big ass rise. because that "fear" that i told you about will no longer exist.

And who is creating the fear? How? and most important, Why? People who are interested to see the price drop (see july) for their own interest, knowing that the price will surely get a boost some days/weeks after the august 1. Good deal, cheap Bitcoin, quick profits. Who is not interested to get Bitcoin a lot cheaper?

Seems a practical predictions but we need to consider the sentiment of most people as bitcoin may have blockchain split as not all miners will be ready to accept what segit and segwit2x demonstrate. The blockchain split may get less significance when miners may form a working consensus which will secure our bitcoins more efficiently like all miners may start working accepting the one single type of fork. In this case too I guess bitcoin prices may start skyrocketing.

Hopefully there will be panic sales before August 1st, and the price dip will be good for buying cheap coins. On the second, when it becomes obvious that there was no need to panic, the price will shoot back up for a tidy profit. Buy as much as you can on the  the 30/31 July

I would refrain from advising and advertising such things

Bitcoin may spiral down, say, to 1,500 dollars per coin, but there is no guarantee that it will necessarily bounce back. As much as I myself want it to rise higher and higher, the current "stability" looks insanely suspicious to me. It seems like someone is trying to prop up the price when it starts to go down. Miners can be doing that since they are interested in this seeming stability for the time being. Otherwise, with the price severely crashed, people would attack them because it is due to them that Bitcoin didn't and doesn't evolve and there is no sensible development (in fact, no development at all). As to me, the price may crash after August, 1st, when there is no UASF activated, nor SegWit2x

It cuts both ways, apparently

If people move their coins to their private wallets to stay away from trading, then who, in your opinion, will make up all the demand which, according to you, should cause the price increase? If anything, demand should go down along with supply, and that would mean rising volatility to possibly insane levels. So it could mean price rise, price decline, or both intermittently. Some people may earn handsomely, some may lose heavily if they choose to trade instead of staying away from the market for the time being

At first I'm sure the bitcoin price will be pumped after 1 August. But, i think if this chain split happens it will probably create a chaotic situation and maybe i will sell half of the balance i have in my wallet and the rest i will save because I'm still a little bit confident if bitcoin prices will be pumped maybe in mid-August or longer .
If you want to sell out, you better do it now! i'm gonna hold on to my coins, not selling any for another 5 years.

It might happen might not. why take the risk withdraw all your coins from exchanges before august 1.

It makes sense for me, I already got some notice about the upcoming hardfork and there are some possibilities will have followed by me to save my bitcoin in my wallet. I think after the segwit activation in august the price of bitcoin will only increase. Some said that the spliting chance already gone.

This whole Chain split thing are causing a lot of troubles. People do not understand the technical aspects of this event and they will make bad

decisions based on their lack of understanding. I know some members has explained most of the things that might or might not happen, but

for non-technical people this is a nightmare. The whole market will stagnate for a while, until the scaling uncertainties has sorted it self out. Will

you invest in something you do not understand Huh

Yes. Segwit happening soon and there will be no split as what the fudsters are spreading. I am not 100% sure but I am just confident that split won't happen. When segwit gets appropriate numbers bitcoin will be breaking another ath.

I think that if everything goes alright, there will be pump instead of dump.
But before 1st of august, there will definitely be dumps. People are nervous.
