This is creating a series of different predictions for all entrepreneurs. We can not confirm anything, so many people think that the value of bitcoin will skyrocket. On the other hand, some people think that its value will drastically decrease. This is causing concern for everyone. I myself too, I do not know what to do, buy or sell, too difficult to decide.

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not sure...
Bitcoins will essentially be fixed on august first so the pump will be before the actual fix. This is just like when the halving was imminent and the price went up and up before the halving then even before the halving it went down.

Actually we couldnt predict the volatility of bitcoin. If you have funds to buy bitcoin you can but you know all is risks when you invest for your money. As the bitcoin price right now is $2000 plus so its expensive. Thus you may decide to buy some and invest on what you can afford.

I thought that August 1st was a date of USAF. But miners realized that USAF could be something risky and unsafe so they agreed to proceed with SegWitx2 scaling proposal instead.
They started to signalling it a week ago and once they reach 80% hash rate stability SegWitx2 will be introduced. Therefore nothing will happen on 1st August anymore?
So anyone can confirm it?
Yes. Confirmed! There is a consensus agreement already to activate segwit2x, apparently there is nothing like a hard fork anymore. So whoever wants to buy now should just buy cause the assumption of price coming down may just be the opposite.

Despite possible higher or lower prices because of 1st Aug, is there any possibility or reasons to worry for bitcoin to literally crash to something really insignificant like $100 or something? I mean, it will probably rise up again in some time later, but is what happening on that date significant enough to put bitcoin price upside down or are we talking about speculations of $500 more or less in value?

A lot of people are going to try and do the same... but none of them knows what is going to happen before the 1st of Aug 2017. We might see a

huge price increase before that happens {speculators working this drop in before it happens} So you might be buying at a much higher price,

than what you would have been buying now. We have no crystal ball.  Roll Eyes

That is a very difficult question to answer, even if bitcoin go ahead with the fork that would happen on August 1st, there might be a chance that the chain won't be split into two as no one could really knows what would happen after the fork. Maybe you could buy a few bitcoins as investment, but remember to keep it in the wallet that allows you to hold your own private key in case a split really happens.

So my initial plan was to invest more into bitcoin on a weekly basis but with the possibility of a split on August 1st I figured I'd wait a little. If there would be a split, there would certainly be a drop in price so maybe a good opportunity to pick some more up rather than doing it now. Normally I tend to make these kind of decisions for myself but since I don't fully understand what will happen August 1st I figured this would be the best place to ask.
Yeah I also heard that bitcoin has a possibility of a split on August 1st, I also don't understand what would really happen on that day but maybe we just be careful and we should transfer our bitcoin in bank for our assurance so that we will not lose some bitcoin on that day.

Why are you and everyone else so obsessed with 1st August? An import factor in the cryptosphere BEFORE the 1st of August that has massive potential to pump the price far beyond anything you are hoping to gain by waiting for a drop. Australia legalizes all crytpos on the 1st July. You should be thinking about buying BEFORE THAT DATE.  Roll Eyes

The chance is 50:50 because this is just a price prediction, that the price of bitcoin would go on a DUMP and yeah, that is the right time to buy bitcoins and hold it and wait till the next price PUMP happens.  In this way, we could earn a lot of money in the long run if we are going to hold it and be patient about this Investment.

Exactly. Patience is a virtue on trading. I think Pump is not the most probable outcome due to split on chain. Many investors don't want 2 chains because it might cause some issue and it will not guarantee that it will solve clog on transaction. I will on august 1 to buy some cheap btc.

HODLing is an art, not just a word...
you know that things have never happened exactly on the same date as the news right?

for example take the Halving event. the hype started months ago before the real halving date or any real supply effect. the price rise happened long before the date that the first 12.5BTC block was mined.

and the effect of August 1st has already hit the market hard by crashing it to $2100 10 days ago.
can it happen again? maybe. but chances aren't that high.

No one can predict bitcoin market price tomorrow or even 2 months later. Okay big news sometimes affecting the price, but we don't what effect it can give. I suggest to buy as much as you can if you have chance to buy bitcoin as soon as possible. For me, bitcoin price is never drop down, it just make a correction for a while to continue rising. Just buy it.

If you have money then you should buy bitcoin right now.  If you will wait until august perhaps its price maybe higher than today.  We do not know what will happen on August but I would like to think that its price will not be affected.

We do not know what will happen on that date, much better if you have money to invest do it now. No one knows what will happen in the future if you have time to earn now much better to do some action and do not wait for the time that we do not know what will happen.

You can't know the price in 1-2 months, maybe Btc will be 3500-4000 $. And maybe after an hypothetical crash August 1st, we will see Btc at 3000$, so better than now. So buy now!!!

Just buy right now while it's still cheaper and wait until August. It's risky tho. But worth the risk when it pumps. If you want, just do short trade for less risk. Or better look for alternative crypto for trade. Buying bitcoin is risky right now. We don't  know what will happen once the hardfork occured.
Bitcoin trading is a risky job. We don't know what will happen once August 1st finish everyone is telling the price will increase but our bad luck it decrease means it's a huge loss for us. The bitcoin price is $2600 this is not a small amount.  So better do alternative coin trading wait for until August 1st. If you can take the risk then buy some coins your good luck, you may make a good profit.

Already I have bought some bitcoin and Planing to buy some also. I hope after August Bitcoin will pump and it will reach about 5k. So, I decided to hold some bitcoin.
And Thanks for this tips...

My advice to you mate is you should buy before that said date will happen, because price will be more bigger after that and you could possibly hit the huge profit in the future. Month of August will definitely pump up the bitcoin price as those investors will increasingly hit that demands in the bitcoin marketplace; don't ever think it's a bubble but a reality.
