Bitcoin got this far because we have always believed in it and why stop now? Come what may, I will keep holding my coins and wait for this highly feared day to pass Tongue hope it comes with good intentions.

I'm trying super hard to hold but deep inside there's some fear of the outcome. I might cash out 80% and leave 20% of my portfolio before August 1st. At least I'll have something to fall back to if the 20% goes down to almost nil.

We know what will happen with the said date but are you willing to take a risk to hold your Bitcoins or maybe some Altcoins. We are in the 'Red days' for how many weeks now and I think it is because of too many people is scared in what will be the results of Segwit on August 1.

Some of my thoughts in how most of us think.


*I will sell my Bitcoins first then buyback after august 1*

*I will sell my Altcoins because it is nowhere to going up anymore*

I don't mind losing some.

There will be only 2 result, to win or to loss. In case of a win, I should have some extra to take advantage of it, who knows it's worth trying. In case of loss, at least it was not that much.

Whatever will happened, so be it. Let's wait.

Smartest way.. Smiley

It's hard for me to predict what will happen on August 1. I already heard about the split many times and believed in it, I panicked. But all these conversations remained empty. Then I just stopped paying attention to it. My goal is a long-term investment, and I believe that it will give me a profit

What about buying altcoins with a little of your Bitcoin cause I don't think all altcoins will completely die or go down in price and sell others left and then, a new startup maybe with buying of Bitcoin with the money gotten from selling.

No, I am not scared. When Ethereum fork was, everyone was scared about the consequences for Ethereum. Remember it was short after the DAO hack. Today, both coins are x-times the value they had on the fork. Same will happen to Bitcoin in my opinion. At the beginning there will probably be some ups and downs for both coins. But from time to time the better one will gain value. Important is that the value of both coins is >= the value of the Bitcoin value on hardfork.

Yes, because my primary wallet here in philippines is coins.ph that is not a hard wallet, the support/Customer assistant told me that i should convert my bitcoin to philippines currency so that they can protect the balance, but they will try their best to protect the money of there user in site. There is a possibility that chain split will not happen, I lost my bitcoins and alt because of this red days also but it is normal it doesn't connected to segwit i think.

Hodl is the best way no matter what, it will just waste or eat time so much.

Yes I am pretty much scared about august 1st. I can't imagine or I'm not believing what just happened today. The price literally dropped to 2300 dollars that is 500 dollar plus drop in price of bitcoin in one day and this is what the effect of segwit stuff. Don't even know wha the august 1st will bring to us. I'm very much confused about holding of my bitcoins.
If it goes down to 2300 USD, how come it be a 500 USD drop? Haven't seen price the price being above 2700 USD in a week.
Was around ~2500 USD. So its like 200 USD drop in a day  not 500 USD.

Correct. He is so scared that he totally forgot how to subtract correctly.  Grin. I'm pretty sure that you are already here last March after the ETF decision and there are a significant drop of the price soon. It was a scary moment because bitcoin drop to below $1000. But look how it rebound and even reach $3000 soon. I think this will also be a repeat of it. If it went down after Aug 1, it will soon bounce back and reach you height. So I'm not scared about Aug 1.

For short term traders, it's really that they are coming at scary position now.

But, for Long term traders, it's no matter cause they have a solid mentality.

It is the Reality of cryptocurrency market.

I was a few weeks ago, but then I realized that there are not enough incentives for miners to do something stupid.

The miners are giving the reasons for bitcoin core protection, I'm not a professional, but I think bitcoin needs some change, at least it needs larger block numbers. There is an indispensable need for bitcoin.
Dude, I think you don't get it.
After we get segwit, bigger blocks become irrelevant.

Still.. In general crypto owners are pretty bad with buy&hold, because so many people want to get "rich quick", so obv there's gonna be panic in the next weeks.

I already tripled my initial fiat investment, so my profits are already taken. The remaining coins that I have now are all paid from the profits that

I made over the years. This risk-free strategy has removed much of the stress that I would have had, if it was my initial investment. This was my

goal from the start. {Invest, double or triple my profits and then extract my initial investment}  Wink

I am not at all afraid because we must never forget that there is the technology that Bitcoin represents that is what is most valuable and is integral for the growth of Bitcoin over time. Bitcoin is not just a currency for speculators but an investment tool for technology to advance us further afield.
