Topic: Buy more bitcoin or wait for August 1st? - page 7. (Read 20383 times)

The prices have crashed almost 20% during the last 2-3 days. It may crash even more and I won't be extremely surprised if we witness exchange rates below $1,000 per coin by the end of this month. So waiting is the call, as of now.

Cant predict anything now. After August 1, the pricr may be dropped or it maybe pumped a lot. I would prefer to purchase some bitcoin for now and hold untill august 1. I have also purchased a good amount to hold untill August 1. The price may surely go up and meet 4000$. (Its just my prediction). The all we can do it wait and watch. Im a bit excited for august 1.

I completely see it the same way. And the price is ultimately the combination of people with different views, risk perceptions and objectives. Some people follow like herd. Increasing risk makes some larger risk averse groups reduce exposure. Herd follows. Some others sell by technical analysis. Which is another "atheist" herd movement /9in average). Some buy as they have ultimate faith. Some others buy because they see it are redeeming having missed the boart (and also have low exposure as % of total). Some others (many large) sell because they know all of the above. These will buy back a large chunk before Aug. 1st., but not all.

The real dangers from Aug 1st till end of 2017 are very real. So the best thing to do is reflect on your appetite for risk. Here are the best options depending, as we can't know exactly what will happen, we do have control on the risk we face:

Extremely optimist over sw and rest of updates thru 2017
2 Buy now. Do not try to earn more by waiting to see if it will go further down. 0% chance to miss upside
1 Sell now and rebuy 50% 1-3 days before activation. If you rebuy 100%, you take more risk than 1. May lose some upside, and will take any downfall. But, having sold for now, you reduce a lot of risk until you buy and may start with a lower base. 
-1 Sell now and rebuy 50% or the second things look good Aug.2.
-2 Sell now and do something else now until end of Aug. Then reassess

Extremely pessimistic over sw and rest of updates thru 2017

Those who think it's best to buy NOW should post here that you buy with PROOF. If you don't then you didn't buy because the truth is you yourself is afraid and can't afford to risk even a small amount of Satoshi.

If you're looking to buy then it looks like waiting will be your best option. I wouldn't have predicted this a few months ago but people are uncertain so I guess I understand it.

It really depends on what you are comfortable, your economic means and the risk you are willing to take, if you prefer to play it safe then the best thing you can do is to hold and do not move your coins for some time until things settle and we get to know what is the outcome of all of this.

I would possibly buy more bitcoin right now because in the current time, bitcoin has already drop off its price exactly on morning of July 14, 2017 which is Friday. It is now a great opportunity now to extend your assets in buying more bitcoin to have a great profit or gain to be earned after August 1 Segwit fork.

Wait until what may happen in August 1 if btc after August. We didn't know what will really happen by that time if it is still declining or recovering a little then buy a lot. Im saving my money to buy a lot after 1.

It's good we wait 1 august to buy lots of bitcoin. Because until now the declining btc price is not suitable to buy lots of bitcoin. too risky

Please speculate and all the risks will surely come. Make sure not to waste time by creating a negative issue. Bitcoin will be fine after 1st August. I am very confident. 

I will wait for the movement and what will happen to bitcoin. At this time I still dare not take action because the news is still confusing and there are many possibilities that will happen. I might wait until 1 week before that date. I will do the analysis and make a decision at the right time.

Buying bitcoins for this month end is a good choice. You will get your coins for a cheap price. And if you keep that coins 2 or 3 months you will get double profit. 

Have all answers.

Bitoin value is going down hard. I expect some very deep lows, i think i am going to buy on the last week of July. Hope to see some really low BTC prices to make big profits in the future.

Want to buy more... If i have more money left )

Yes that is great idea for him because it's price is decreasing day to day and he need to buy some bitcoin now and some after the segwit activation but some bitcoin buy now is very necessary because to me I think its price will not more to below 1950$ that is the last decreasing limit of bitcoin and l am sure after the segwit its price starting going to increasing.

We shoud wait for segwit2x and then buy, or we can buy one or two days before 1st august maybe price will touch 1000 usd or below. and may price again gain after 1st august. Or maybe nothing will happen.

Falling price of bitcoin is now the right time to buy, but because segwit2x activation will happen I think buy now is not the right time. Because if a chain split occurs I think the price will actually fall may be stomping at 1000 dollars. I do not know, but hopefully the bitcoin price will not fall lower than 1000 dollars.

I think you should buy some bitcoins now and some after 1st august because recent changes in price from 2800 USD to 2100 USD it looks like that bitcoin will get huge drop in next few days and maybe it gain after 1st august. You need to keep your eyes on price chart of bitcoin.

The bitcoin price is currently dumping right now. It's the best time to buy bitcoins and invest! Don't wait for August to buy bitcoins. I'm currently hoarding bitcoins as much as possible.
