I also planned to do so. But the latest news about the fork upset me. Now I do not know if I should keep my coins for the future or spend them until the price has fallen
If you will spend your coins now then you will surely regret in future and there is nothing to worry about the current decline is price as this is part and parcel of bitcoin economy and we have seen same thing even in the past but bitcoins has tendency to recover its price very soon and same thing will happen this time too so just have patience and hold your coins.
There will be no doubts about the future of bitcoins, yes the future is still belong to bitcoin only. All the current situations associated with bitcoins will get resolved over time as solutions are being found when there will be a real demand for that. All we need to do now must be utilizing the current cheaper prices of bitcoins.
