August 1 is just only a normal day to everyone, as far as no chain split or hard fork that will. Now the trending bip148 is over and segwit2x is the new trending news on bitcoin world.

i think the same as you and i am considering august 1 is normal day like the other day as i don't to worry about segwit2x or bip148 like many people read in many news. the best thing we can do is stay calm down, don't panic although the worst thing is happen, try to focus in trading if we are doing trading. but if we still want to know about the news especially about what next after bip148 and segwit2x applied, then we can continue to read in the website but don't take it too serious as we don't know the truth.

Maybe I'm fantasizing but haven't markets priced in Aug 1 already?

Will we have to wait until the very day to know whether soft or hard fork or whatever?

Or can you pick up signs that the solution is decided already while cryptos are behaving like a tempest in a teapot?

I think we cannot really know what would really happen in August 1. We can guess it, but for me no one could exactly tell about that. Well let’s just consider all the possibilities that may happen on that day and most importantly do not expect for we might fail and let's just accept and be updated what would happen on that very trending date.

What do you want to know about August 1st the event is all but over, support has been locked now nothing is going to happen on that day, so if you have coins keep them locked for year end and sell them at a huge price, if you plan to buy coins thinking it will fall, it won't there is only one Road for Bitcoins now and that is upwards and upwards, as for whether the price has been considered maybe but you never know how high it may go in that day or post that day

Nothing bad is going to happen on August 1. There will be no chain split and BCC will be created as an altcoin. If you have the private keys to your Bitcoin wallet (or if you are storing your coins in OKCoin), then you will be able to claim them.

The best thing that you can do, always, and especially in times like this, is to keep up to date on the very latest news.
At the moment, segwit is showing 98% support: https://xbt.eu/

What will be on August 1 and what will be the rate of bitcoin after this date, I think no one knows. Either this is known only to a narrow circle of people in this field of knowledge. This is evidenced by the unpredictable course of bitcoin for a week - two before August 1. He first fell to 1900, and then abruptly climbed to almost 2900 dollars. What will happen next is difficult to predict. It is logical that on the eve of August 1 and these days he will fall.

I don't think there is any definite way to know if these are the august 1st market prices. They could drop even lower. We already know the dates that are set to each scaling solution, but whats important is how each party responds after the date, which is still unknown until it passes.

yes you are right that we cannot say anything about the price of the bitcoin at august because in bitcoin anything can happen may be it will go so high or maybe it will do a bit more down so making any kind of prediction about bitcoin is not easy at all the price is today low but may be after august 1 it will increase.

Not really no one know what will be happens on that day maybe they can predict it and not that accurately will happened but ofcourse there are some difference that will happen august 1 last year is pretty good the day that the price of bitcoin turning into the price to become higher and higher but wait for it.

Of course there's room for speculation and no one could know as at yet but from the look of things the prices have started picking up again today and hopefully it might go back up high before, during or after August 1.

I think bitcoiners need to be aware that somethng will happen in 1st August, but trying to guess what will happen is just speculating or prediction, and may give more fear to bitcoin owners.

the activation and the result of that date is a process not something that happens over night without anybody knowing and being caught off guard.

first miners start signalling then a total hashrate that is behind every proposal becomes clear and based on that you can see what the outcome will be. so far there is about 90% behind SegWit and that means it will be activated without any problems.

some people love to create disruption and say miners will pull out near the end but i like to stick to reality rather than what may happen.

and the signalling and the locked in status is achieved in one difficulty period if i am not mistaken which is 2016 blocks. (someone should verify this since i am not sure how timeframe of each of these things go, there are too much information
p.s the price actions are 70% manipulation and 30% panic sells.

"So far there is about 90% behind SegWit"- could you clarify that? From who? From what I've read the core group of programmers are not in agreement anywhere close to 90%. Also isn't it important to clarify if you're speaking towards SegWit or SegWit2?

If 90% believe it would be activated without any problems there certainly would be far less panic than there is right? ( and I'm speaking of panic from the big players in BTC like the heads of each exchange).

only 2 groups are important. Miners and Nodes. the developers have already done their part.
Majority of nodes (more than 90%) are running bitcoin core which is compatible with SegWit in other words they are behind it and supporting it.
Majority of miners (nearly 90%) are supporting SegWit which means they are behind it.

SegWit, SegWit2x, BIP148 (UASF) are currently all compatible, they are all looking for SegWit aka BIP91 which was merged into SegWit2x some time ago and miners are signalling the same thing. this means i am talking about all of them since they are the same thing!

p.s. panic has nothing to do with any of this. it is market manipulation. take a look at the charts and see how many of these red bars we had so far where people panicked and dumped bitcoin!!!

What will happen in August is still uncertain at this moment. What we have today are only predictions and possibilities of that which is to come on August 1. We cannot be certain or be sure since the event on August 1 will be only decided by how the group will react on the implementation. And so we are left with only hunches and for us to be safe we need to make some precautions about the possible dangers and risks that we are going into as we travel towards August 1. And as we can see many people are now converting to dollars so that whatever events that will occur to bitcoin they will not suffer huge losses. If we want to be safe then let us follow their footsteps so that whatever crash that will happen we are already prepared.

It'd impossible to know for certain if the August one fear has priced in yet. Yesterday was certainly a fleeing day for a lot of investors buy since then prices have somewhat recovered.

You can really predict august 1 before that because there is lots of positive signs like its preparing bitcoin for future and if you go with negative side you will get panic and end up with loss.

It is important, on which side will be most of the miners. As far as I know about 80% of the miners are for Segwit

I think the bitcoin is dying and other currencies will be replaced... such as LTC, XRP, ETH...

The answer of your question is NO because its not possible to know the future that what is going to happen in the future. At this time everyone can only predict that what is going to happen with bitcoin on 1st August but no one can tell you exactly that what is going to happen we will only know that on 1st August that what is going to happen on that day.

Prices might be lower but might also be higher, you can't define that for sure. But there is no predict the values. Because of fear of low prices some unexperienced users will start to sell their coins now and massive oan could also affect price in negative way. Let's hope the common sense will prevale and this will not happen.

We already seeing bitcoin status before august first its falling price like anything now seems to stabilising . Its all about trust in bitcoin as current trend shows its losing trust in crypto investors lets wait and watch.
