Here is what I think mate> you buy Bitcoin @$7100 then Segwit2x splits the blockchain, what would you do then? would you dump both of them or

Just Segwit2x? if you keep Bitcoin and after the fork correction happens then you would lose money because you are keeping your Bitcoins, only way

To win at this forking game is to dump both coins at the same time.

So after all that reading i did i couldnt came to a conlusion regarding to what is better... invest my 5k before the Fork to get that extra x2 coins or just invest after Fork while btc gets its correction???
Thanks

My advice will be based on my latest fork experiences. If you want to get more profit better buy altcoins while prices are dead and hold for next year. There are many speculations around bitcoin.If you wanna to buy cheap bitcoin better to wait for news after fork.
Why hold for 1 year i think you might be busy or sleeping during the fork all prices rocketed to the sky , every single alt was being pumped including doge. A better strategy would be buy alts before the fork and sell it when you see coins getting pumped it will be more profitable than b2x.

I think you're the first person I've seen on this forum who suggests this (and I agree fully). Bitcoin too risky with too little upside right now for my taste.
I doubt weather you telling the truth look around the forum so many people have the same opinion.

New to the forums and bitcoin in general.. definitely will watch these threads closely before deciding what to do.
Keep waiting till next year no hurry. After SegWit occurs make a post about your regret for not buying btc before the fork , don't wait the more you are waiting the higher the price get's.

I think the only way to win here is not to play. If 80% of the hash power goes to the B2X altcoin then the price of BTC will crash a huge amount. Also, who knows what B2x will be worth afterwards? Will probably be very unstable but not even close to what btc is worth
If yiu didn't know there are many coins which are way more profitable to mine than btc simply 80% power won't shift to a new coin maybe 20% power would me max not more than that.
I haven't seen any posts like that lately, I can't possibly read every post though so there's bound to be others who think the same. I was just surprised to find someone with the same opinion for a change.

You are not going to get extra coins, because the new coin doesnt have a replay action, it means, that your bitcoin balance right now has the price of Segwitx2.
It means that if in the moment that you receive your new coins, the price of bitcoin is at $7000, and segwitx2 is $2000, if everybody dumps their segwitx coins then the price of bitcoin will go down to $5000 (this works as an example) and this is why it is very risky to use.
You are not dumping segwit's, you are dumping bitcoin, with another name.

Exactly, and because of this, I think it is wiser to invest after bitcoin hardfork. If many will sell B2X by that time, it will greatly affect bitcoin price and it might not just cause corrections but rather it will also cause a huge dump in btc price. I expect bitcoin to go down in price after the fork. Too bad though they didn't implement replay protection, it would be nice if we could sell our B2X without it affecting our btc stash and vice versa.

There are circumstances that are needed to consider and still it's up to you what you will be doing with your coins or if you are going to invest.
There are instances that before forks happen, bitcoins drop prices. Some are due to panic selling and every time forks happen it is never avoided.
But sometimes bitcoins keep on increasing in price because some knows that during fork many will invest and at the same time hold BTC.

Before correction to get the extra free coins and because as earlier you join as much you make profit.
Proof : Bitcoin pre-halving and after the halving, Bitcoin before Bitcoin cash and after.

Put an end to your confusion now. How? Accept all worst case scenarios once you buy at the current price rate or any rate you want since this is how bitcoin investment works. You need guts to enter as NO ONE knows what will happened. We don't know when will correction will happened. All speculation will just be a speculation until it won't happened yet.

Take it or leave it. You decide.

I have said it too hehe Smiley

Yeah for sure you can invest in some cheaper coins right now a smany people sold out of them to buy bitcoin. It does create another opportunity for people to go into alt coins as the price is pretty low right now on a lot of them.

Bitcoin Cash doubled in the last 10 days though as a hedge against segwit2x coin split.

there is a high risk to invest in pre-fork, I think after segwit2x the price of btc will fall down.
hope you can be able to catch my point.

I am looking to invest some money on bitcoin before this fork, because the price is going down for now, but i dont know what to do, a lot of people are saying that the price will explode once that the fork is finished, but honestly, i dont know what is going to happen and i am sure that nobody knows, but i am unquiet.
Maybe i should invest my money on Ethereum because it is going down, but it suffered a hack today so it is very shady to invest in this scenario.

Well, this is at least a good perspective on how you should be looking to play the market, and it all comes down to what you think the market is going to accept Bitcoin Gold for. I would say that even if you only get 1.3x the quantity of Bitcoin after the correction than you have now you would be better off waiting for the market to go that way since I doubt that Bitcoin Gold is going to get valued at anything more than hundred or so dollars. People just don't seem to want it in the same way they wanted Bitcoin Cash, so it's completely up in the air as to what you can do. It's all your choice and you have to think about how much more you can earn with BTCG vs the normal chain.

Buddy, if you are planning to invest in bitcoin the right time to invest is before the fork. Because always before the fork, I have noticed a fall in its price because many people sell their coins before the fork. So its the right time to buy the coins now. The fork is on 16th November. Just wait 2 more days. The price of btc will drop again. That time you should buy the coins. After fork, definitely its price will surge again. I hope by the end of December it may touch 10000 dollars.

If you really believe on bitcoin and in its price, then buy them right now, why are you so worried about this? everybody knows that bitcoin is always on a bullish trend, but always have some issues and this is one of the main reasons of why sometimes it has little corrections. I am sure that if you buy now, you will have incredible profits once that all this mess about segwit is over, and  i am pretty sure about that, invest now mate, this is better than invest that money on altcoins.

It's really hard to tell anything about the future. because the common conception is that the bitcoin price is going to be corrected after the hard fork on November 16th. Also you will loose out of your free Segwit 2X if you invest after that date. So you may be able to buy bitcoin at a cheaper price after the fork, but you will be loosing in one way.

So my suggestion would be, invest a portion of your $5k amount befroe the fork. Lets say 50% of it or $2.5k  before the fork so that you can get some 2x for free. Then invest the rest of the amount after the fork. This way, you will be able to average out your bitcoin buying price as well as get some free 2x which you can sell at market price to get some of your profits back.

Should have invested that 2 months ago. You'd get Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold and your BTC would go up on top of it all.
You can't be sure if there will be a significant correction at all. For instance if people get a hold of their BTG they will surely dump it and have some fiat to spend. There's a possibility some of this fiat will go to BTC which might fuel another pump. You just never know.
I don't think the coming correction will be deep. There's a lot of hopes for 2018 and people think it could repeat what we witnessed this year. Not many will want to sell before giving it a chance of another 700% rise.
