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.

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*

Honestly a few days back I was bit paranoid about august 1st but now few days I don't really like to be worried about this anymore it's as simple nothing is going to happen, the hype is over and I would say just hold your coins, do not and I repeat don't use Alt coins, not good at all. Just keep your coins safe with a private key, thats all and if it falls then buy it again. That's all I can suggest you to do.

There are already other versions (forked) of bitcoin (eg. litecoin, dash and others) why is this so FUDdy for others?

Long term traders shouldn't be scared to hold until August 1 or beyond. But if you want to take some profit, just don't feel sorry of selling it when the price starts to increase and you sold it lower. Just don't regret what you are going to do. This is crypto currency the market is always moving.

i am very scared of today and all the other days until the August 1 and after it because my time is running out and i only have a very limited amount of fiat at hand to buy cheap bitcoin.

for example today is the sadest day of this week for me because i could not buy as much bitcoin at the bottom as i liked to because i didn't have fiat on exchange and the opportunity is already lost.

;(

What is the point of fear in order to fear? If you are afraid and don't want to risk that you will have plenty of time to sell all of your coins. Now the price goes up. At the moment is 2.4 K. I think this week we will see more than 2.6 K. Sell and will not be afraid, I want to hold your coins and don't be afraid. To sit with one ass on two chairs will not work.

My bitcoins are secured and I do not think there is nothing to fear about the above said date. If you are a swing trader, you have to make adjustment. But if you are just a long term holder, I think just keeping your bitcoin safe is enough. It is more on the future rather than the swing in prices that concerns me.

actually i am starting to believe that August 1st will lead to a huge rise. you know why?

because by that date we will have SegWit activated!
majority of the miners are signalling for SegWit at the moment and the rest are not signalling anything and will switch as soon as the date comes and that means a SegWit activation with the biggest support which is nearly 100% (similar to LTC).

then in a couple of months we will have problems about the hard fork and that can cause a split not the August 1st thing.

You mean those miners that have expressed interest in Segwit2x, signalling by signing messages in the blockchain?

Theres one thing I dont understand there. If they really wanted Segwit then why didnt they support the original proposal in BIP141? Is it the promised hard fork to 2mb block sizes 2 months later? Are they sure it will be wise to hasten things like that?

When August 1 comes and nothing happens I expect a big rally, in fact I think it will come even before because there is still little economic support and no mining support for uasf whatsoever.

No, absolutely not. I'm not scared of August 1. When I started bitcoin I know it's a risk but a calculated one. And besides I have gained a lot from bitcoin. Honestly I have plans on investing on bitcoins more once the value depreciates further comes August 1. The reason is that I see its potential and I know that the value will appreciate more after segwit. If I'm wrong with my prediction, it's fine. In life, nobody gains more without losing some.

Still confident that btc Segwit will have good result. Whatever will be the result if price of btc falls or go Up again. I will hold unto my wallet and still use bitcoin as my priority crypto- currency. Will just wait what will happens. Some says it will be good because of changing or improving the fees and transactions.

We need to make a wise decision to avoid losing of bitcoin, however there's a little bit confusion regarding to the results of BTC segwit. But I was not worries regarding to holding off bitcoin until August 1.

You are right but you never know what they have in mind

Actualy we don't know what will exactly happen at August 1, these are all speculations and rumors. The whole story is just exaggerated and even.now some users begun to panic. This is probably the goal to make some users sell their coins.I don't fall for that.

yeah it's just make people going to do panic selling , just like what happened recently the bitcoin price in down trends due this kind rumours getting heated , some people believe it could be a split chain after the segwit 2.0 comes and guess what would happened? people lost interest as it feels someone play with it. i personally think that the bitcoin price would get dropped a little to skyrocketing back later.

I think that this process of price reduction has already begun. We see how the price falls and many cause panic. I thought that the fall would begin after the 20th, but it started earlier. I plan to buy during this period the maximum number of coins and then wait for a sharp price increase

I am not scared to hold bitcoins until August 1st, i consider it is good chance to getting two coins, so i am still hold some on bitcoins and the other in altcoins, i don't find reason fixing of bitcoins network is not something scary (segwit2x on bitcoins) also price of bitcoins down, that is normal price of bitcoins is always fluctuating, so do with the altcoins that is chance for buy cheap of bitcoins and altcoins.

No I'm not scared. Not in the slightest!
Every opportunity I get to accumulate more BTC I will take advantage of. I let the others freak out and run around like headless chicken.
Furthermore you don't know if we will decrease in price until august. We also could sunddenly to start moving up again tomorrow or next week. So if you sell all you would have to buy back in for a probably higher price. Wouldn't be that smart. This is why I would partially sell if you're uncertain.
With your theory about altcoins I mostly agree with. 5 to 10 of them may have some future in one way or the other.
