You do everything right, but I do not think it's worth worrying about Bitcoin. Perhaps this is all specifically for people to sell their savings.

I am not doing anything special. I'm going to continue my activity as in the past. What will happen in August 1 does not matter to me. The only think I always do is collect bitcoins as much as I can and what is important for me is bitcoin value. After August 1 Newbie investors will get into a panic, Sell their bitcoins and will cause the prices to decrease a little. After that everything will go back to the normal and prices will start to rise gradually.

The only thing that I did was moved all my coins to a desktop wallet. I don't have the private keys of the online wallet that I'm using. And they can use these upgrade on bitcoin's technology as a way to run their user's funds. It can also cause problems and your coins might get stuck. With private keys, you can just import your bitcoins.

In terms of the price and the potential of price going down, I don't really care about that. I do know that bitcoin is eventually going to pick up in case the price actually went down. If people ditched bitcoins and moved to something like ETH, then we just have to move there too. As simple as that. You don't have to stress things out. The developers are doing this for the betterment of the coin and not to destroy the coin.

I am holding alts like ETH, LTC and XMR  along with bitcoin right now and will continue to buy more crypto. Its always better to diversify your investment portfolio and I am trying to diversify my investment/holding. If you can have some fiat in hand before hard fork than you might get some cheap bitcoin/crypto during august.

Bazinga!
I think we're going to be fine. It may need a couple of days to stabilize, but after that everything is back to normal.

Yes of course but for that want to profit during the chaos what is the best course of action? Should we sell before Aug and buy back later or not? Please provide guidance

I think for me I will sell and buy back. Sell a portion not all. At least 1 quarter

the problem is nobody knows!
a lot of different things can happen so bitcoin price can go in a lot of different directions.

if you have invested more than you can afford to lose, or if the amount is making you uneasy then sell some of it to reduce the pressure on your mind.

if not then don't worry too much and wait for things to become a little clearer and then make a decision.

HODLing is an art, not just a word...
if your fear is about bitcoin price and possibility of it going down then your only choice is to go back to fiat because history has proven that if bitcoin price goes down, altcoins will get dumped much harder.

however whether or not bitcoin price is going to fall remains to be seen.

That means that people have no faith in the companies behind those altcoins. Or, am I looking it the wrong way?

that is the general idea, yes.

The gist of it: nothing to worry about as long as you're in complete control of your Bitcoins. Not sure what that means? The post will tell you what to do.

thanks, I'll read. I think it means to have your BTC on a wallet that provides you with your private keys, as oppose to exchanges.

Hi everyone.

So with the date getting closer, everyone is talking about BIP148, Segwit, Fard Hork and what not... I here some say to 'not trade few days before and few days after to let things settle down'.

Some say they'll sell their BTC before that date.

I was thinking to exchange my BTC with some other Altcoin, but I'm not sure which. Speculating only, if you were to exchange your BTC to some other coin because of that BTC split, what would you exchange for and why?

I'm thinking of exchanging to Ripple, but also I have my eye on IOTA, since I believe it will be the next big thing after Bitcoin.

Aside form BTC, I'm invested in other 9 coins. Small time investments.
