Topic: If you had 10k Would you buy Bitcoin before the fork or after? (Read 1122 times)
I'd say after the fork as well, it'll be going up for a bit until hardfork and then we'll see a dip again.

Watch out for a dip days before the fork. I think it will happen. Buy during those one or two days and then hodl your Bitcoins. There are two possibilities however after the fork. It might happen that the value of Bitcoin will continue to climb or it will fall down. There are risks involved actually. But if you plan to continue holding your Bitcoins until past November and December, you will definitely earn gains.

i'd probably buy after the hardfork to avoid the risk. We still don't know whether the outcome will be in favor for bitcpin just like what happened last august. I will first observe if the price will increase then invest for my inestment to go along with the increase. Investing bigger amount of money will surely result to bigger profit so that's different than just investing 10k because investing 100k is surely better.

I would keep the money ready in an exchange and buy it the instant the fork hits! Btc will likely take a dump, we just don't know how hard it will fall... But exchanges will disable deposits and withrdawals 24h before the fork, so you need to deposit it beforehand.

If i have 10k, i would buy bitcoin right after the fork so i would have a chance to have a bigger profit when it rise again. Nobody wants to have a defecit in there asset thats why it is wiser to buy bitcoin after the fork to profit when it rise.

I would buy BTC before the fork, because I know what the price is now. Let's say something terrible happen after the fork and
you bought BTC during this time, then you might lose those coins. We do not know how the replay protection thing will work
out with SegWit2X yet. {or should I say, the lack there of..}

Buy before the fork, sell right after the fork for segwit1x. Hold onto segwit2x to see how high it goes(check the price every 30 minutes).
Sell segwit2x when it gets to a certain spot, maybe sell 75% of it, keep 25% of it and see how well it does over time.
Bitcoin cash went up to like 900 each and down to 300 something and now back to 620ish now. Had I have sold at 900 bought back in i could have doubled again.
November 07, 2017, 05:16:45 PM
I would buy either right before the fork as price will be falling or right after as prices will still be down.

I would buy before the fork because theoretically you get both coins. You should have your Bitcoins plus whatever the fork coin is called. So even if that second coin isn’t worth much, you can potentially sell it for Bitcoins. Or you could just hold it in case it becomes valuable.
I also would not put any Bitcoins on an exchange before the fork because you don’t hold the private keys so you don’t know what will happen.

I would suggest that going in before the hardfork. This would be the best point of entry since having some Bitcoins before the fork would make you entitled to claim your free coin, in this case the Bitcoin SegWit2x. Who wouldn't want a "buy one take one" in cryptocurrency. Though it is true that anything can happen after the fork, by having both BTC and B2X should be enough to cover your investment
November 07, 2017, 04:38:22 PM
I would buy after the fork because the price is expected to drop down a bit in this date. But even buying before the fork still profitable if you look for long term holding. Generally the price will go up again and it will be higher than its actual level.

I think bitcoin is currently too expensive to buy and now is not the right time to buy as corrections is under way after sigwith2x activation. You should keep your $100.000 investments proposal for bitcoin investors after the splitting. I think many traders are also holding currently and that is why bitcoin is moving in ranging trend since yesterday. I have also see that after the splitting we may experience a serious correction and that is when to buy bitcoin at cheap price. November 07, 2017, 04:17:37 PM
Actually I would like to Buy BTC before the fork, cause if i hold some BTC during segwit2x then It will be automatically credited me same amount of chain split token.
November 07, 2017, 04:15:43 PM
I would invest half and keep the other half of my powder dry so that I'm hedged.

Knowing that the hardfork last August made the market price of Bitcoin to go skyrocket in just a short period of time making its value to increase upto 4200$ from 2800$, i think it will be a better idea to buy and invest beforr the hardfork. Since there's a huge oossibility that same thing could happen on the incoming segwit2x. Also, investing 100k $ will yield to bigger profit.

Noob here asking , If you had 10k Would you buy Bitcoin before the fork or after? and Why? Would it make a difference if you had 100k?
I would definitely buy before the hardfork since it is expected that after th3 hardfork, its market value will be more expensive so it is more practical to invest beforw the segwit2x. Ofcourse, if you will invest 100000$ it has a huge difference than investing onlu 10000$ for the simple reason that if your investment is big, the profit will be huge. November 07, 2017, 03:24:44 PM
In my view, I will choose after the fork. As far as I know, after each fork (Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin cash) Bitcoin price will fall down for 1 week. That is the suitable time to buy Bitcoin.
Yes, but in this way, you lose the chance of getting free Segwit2x coins.

Whether you buy your coin now or later, it does not matter, when it will only matter will be when there is a drop in the current price. But for me, I will buy before the fork, cause after the fork, there will be a rise higher now.
November 07, 2017, 03:11:07 PM
I will buy before the fork because the last fork bitcoin increased it price and i think after this one it will also increase and that is why i will buy before the fork and sell after it.
November 07, 2017, 03:09:12 PM
I'm not sure what I would do because no one knows which coin will be the winner. We have BTC BHC BTG ... more to come
however, if i had 10k, i would sign up to plus500, place a buy order when bitcoin hit's 6k and rake in $1000's profit while its going back up.

Why ta plus500? There are a lot good pure crypto traders..
At the moment I think that a good buy level is ~ 7k and it would be wise to buy there because of I think that it will hit again 7600 and +. And you are getting free new btc coins and after the fork the price will decrease but not dramatically because most of the investors are not in for fork

Noob here asking , If you had 10k Would you buy Bitcoin before the fork or after? and Why? Would it make a difference if you had 100k?
I would buy some bitcoins now and then the rest after the fork if I have 10k to invest. We all know that price will increase day by day so I don't think one should wait for the dip. I think you should buy it in small amounts like some % coins at $7000 then $6500 (if the price goes down) this way you won't loose much and get some cheap coins as well.
I also think that you should do some research yourself before investing in bitcoins as 10k is very large sum of money.
November 07, 2017, 02:59:16 PM
I will buy bitcoin even before the fork.
I would like my coin to rise, I dont know when the price may reduce or increase.
Or I may buy after fork, if bitcoin price increases.

I think it is better to buy after the fork once bitcoin price is stable. I'm sure a lot of people would dump bitcoin after receiving their free coins from the fork. It is good to buy bitcoin when it is cheap.
November 07, 2017, 02:50:32 PM
Smart investors will wait for settled dust and i will join to ther trend after fork. There is no easy way to determine minimum price level on chart but fork speculation will affect to the direction of price before it happens.
November 07, 2017, 02:49:24 PM
I would just prefer the money because the bitcoin price is too big and you will have your change to buy lower. But to answer your question , I would have bought bitcoin BEFORE the fork happened because now you can see it's effect crystal clear.
November 07, 2017, 02:47:54 PM
If history is any indication, the danger of forks is way overrrated. Oftentimes cryptocurrencies will reach new highs shortly after a hard fork. Two prominent examples are bitcoin and Ethereum. The markets are quick to adjust to forks and recognize the value of coins even after a split.
Hard fork will give free B2X and absolutely no impact on BTC value.Not sure Bitcoin price won't be affected after the fork. There is a possibility that many holders are just waiting for the free Bitcoin Segwit2x and then take their profit. It may cause the price to fall.

I would buy half before the fork to get the forked coins and sell them at a decent price so I can increase my bitcoin stack. And with the other half I would purchase btc right after the fork which the price is supposed to suffer a correction. We don't know how big or small it will be.. But we believe in the bitcoin on long term so buying at $7000 instead of $6000 wouldn't make us regret a lot.
November 07, 2017, 02:38:47 PM
Well for me i would buy BTC before fork and hold it till reach 10k
And free coin is nice,i dont want to skip that chance

I think I would buy bitcoins after since they said its price will go down after the fork so I think that would be a very good chance to buy bitcoins.
November 07, 2017, 02:18:27 PM
now btcX2 have a price more or less of 1500$.
If you think that btcx1 price will drop more than 1500$, buy after the fork, instead buy before the fork.
There is one other problem: after the fork, btcx2 price, will rise or drop?
You question is really hard...

It does not matter realy when to buy the bitcoin, because even if you missed your chance right now there will be another in the upcoming future, because the price is constantly changing, but buying it right now would be the wisser option since everyone is talking about the price going up in the mid november and even if the hard fork does not have a huge impact on its price, by the end of the year things will get better.
That is right. If I get 10k USD right next minute I will buy bitcoin for the complete amount. I am very sure about the price potential of bitcoin. You can simply close your eyes and buy the bitcoin as much you can.
With in the year we will able to get the 20k USD for the amount we invested that means double the value without any effort.
November 07, 2017, 02:15:44 PM
Yes!
November 07, 2017, 02:14:43 PM
With events like forks, you'll find that their effect diminishes over time.
Events like forks only affect btc's price in regard to how much fear and uncertainty they generate. The first fork had a big effect on price as no one knew for certain what would happen or what the implications of a fork would be.
Now that we've seen the effects of a fork, and realized they are not the doomsday scenario some made it out to be, the effects of the next fork won't be as noticeable. If there's a 3rd fork down the road, it could have no effect on price at all.
Its possible we've already seen the price bottom as far as the next fork goes.

Wait till after the fork. Bitcoin will go up and down many times the next few years. There is no point is rushing with so much uncertainty around the bitcoin fork right now. Worst case scenario your profits in the long run are a bit lower than could of been. If you buy now and bitcoin dumps you might lose a big chunk of your money.

Noob here asking , If you had 10k Would you buy Bitcoin before the fork or after? and Why? Would it make a difference if you had 100k?
I might buy before the fork if I have 10k. One good reason is that I will be receiving another cokn which is the B2X after the fork so that would be great. And then of course the main reason here is I believe that every second counts and I don't want to lose any opportunity to invest. Even if we're at 7k right now it's still a good price to buy even though it is too high since I am planning to invest on a lobf term and I'd love to see btc at 10k which is very possible to happen.

I would definitely wait and will invest in bitcoins after the fork. Nobody really have any clue what's going to happen after the fork. 10K is a lot of money, and you can actually lose a lot in this scenario. If you have some bitcoins now, I'd suggest you to sell 50% or so for any price you're getting it now. Just do it. This will actually give you a 50-50 chance of getting a profit or loss rather than getting a complete loss or profit. If you don't have any bitcoins now, then you have your 10k. I'd suggest you wait for it and buy the better ones. This is not just about bitcoins, it implies to other cryptocurrencies investment as well.
November 07, 2017, 01:08:44 PM
If I had 10k$ I would buy BTC before the hardfork of course to claim free Bitcoin2x after the hardfork beside Bitcoin has very good potential I think its price will keep increasing after the hardfork so buy Bitcoin before the hardfork is my choice cause I always believe in Bitcoin and I'm also a Bitcoin holder 
). If I had 100k$ I'd spend 90k$ in Bank to receive monthly interest then I would still spend 10k$ to do the same thing cause my country is going to ban Bitcoin soon so invest too much in Bitcoin at the moment is really risky 
there will be 2 possibilities after a hard fork B2x occurs, there will be a correction. or just the opposite. but if the price is not possible to grow rapidly how do you outsmart it? I own if have $ 10k I will wait until the fork is finished because if buy before the fork I do not know what will happen. ).

Well noone can be a hundred percentages sure how fork change the Bitcoin rate. But If I Have to invest my money and want to earn I would invest in BTC after the fork. But remember both of the option: before or after are risky.

I will buy BTC NOW and after the fork. You don't have to choose if you have $10k. You just have to part your money. Buy now while the price is low. Price of BTC tends to increase before every fork (base on the previous BCH and BCG fork) because more people are buying BTC to have free coins. Then buy after the fork because,BTC price will surely drop when those people who bought BTC before the fork trade or sell their BTC.

Most of the people would suggest that you buy bitcoin after the fork, like what my friend have told me and since I'm new to bitcoin I do follow his suggestions just to make sure that my money somehow earn some profit if ever that I will start investing to bitcoins.
November 07, 2017, 11:52:42 AM
The advantage of buying BTC before the fork is the free 2x coin. But we never know how much will the free coin worth.
So for me, I will buy BTC whenever there is a dip either before or after the fork.

Personally, I do not know 100% what will be before or after the fork of the bitcoin. So I decided to keep my money in ETH. Now it is more stable and it is also expected to grow in the coming weeks. So everyone has their own head on their shoulders, but if you are not the developer or instigator of this Segwit, then do not be clever and play the lottery.
November 07, 2017, 11:41:54 AM
Its very difficult to decide.We could not exactly say that bitcoin price would whether increase or decrease before or after the fork as this expected hard fork is totally different from the previous two hard forks.The result of this hard fork could even decide the fate of bitcoin.So,i would just patiently watch and then decide.
November 07, 2017, 11:35:51 AM
It all depends on the market price. There is no guarantee that the price of BTC will dip after the fork. After the BCC fork the price actually doubled.
In my case I would buy the BTC right now at around 6900-7000. There is high chance of price going 8000 before the year end.

I would buy when the value is in the dip regardless if the time is before or after the hard fork. You see, Bitcoin can be very unpredictable at many times and there is no guarantee that you can guess its movement right. Don;t be distracted by short-term views of things here in Bitcoin though I understand that you have the desire to buy more with your budget and we actually have the same strategy and thinking. Well, it is your call...decide based on the information you got and your gut feelings...good luck!

i would never too rush if i were you, i will wait until the fork is done, price of bitcoin is very unstable, it can hardly predict will bitcoin price will rise or drop , so the safest way is wait, after the fork you will have your chance whether to invest in bitcoin or not, or you can buy bitcoin now, it quite low but you may have to take risks bitcoin may drop more after the segwit.

I prefer after the fork because we can't predict anything. Still we have our own decision making that might be right or wrong.
November 07, 2017, 11:18:08 AM
I would buy it right after the fork, because it drops in price, but then goes even higher than before. If I had 100k it won't make a difference.
