Have a little more money to invest in crypto. I'm a little anxious to buy now as I speculate there may be a nice pull back on the price post-fork. I'd like to buy some BTC and some alt coins with about half of it.
Worth getting now and getting some B2X or wait til after the fork?

i would personally get in after the fork because right now people are still quite uncertain but the price is still around the same as the all time high(just a few hundred dollars off from $6000 which is still quite a crazy high amount).

Once the fork comes, there might be an initial sell off before a recovery.

Wisest thing to do is to by just before or right after the fork, in my opinion.

It's depends to you if you buy bitcoin or not. But invest only you can afford to lose because they have possible the price increase because the fork in november so the investor of bitcoin have doubt about the price so other sell it. But dont worry about it for sure after the fork the price will continue to increase. You can wait few weeks after that you can buy bitcoin with your extra money.

Definitely wait a few weeks Bitcoin is projected to crash within these coming weeks no point in buying at the peak.

this!
nobody can preditct it but I would say from a technical analysis perspective a crash is overdue. a lot of technical indicators on the daily chart and also elliot waves are looking bearish
also fundamentally there are high risks coming up with the 2x fork which perhaps will stop the bitcoin chain due to massive hashrate drop. this could cause a price crash

The best thing that you can do is just to buy right now, it is not going to happen because we are going to have the Segwitx2 fork in two weeks from now, and you all know that one week before the fork everybody will be crazy for buying some bitcoins only to receive those free tokens as well.
So put that money on a exchange and buy bitcoins now before it is too late, maybe tomorrow you wake up and see bitcoin over $6000 again.

They have teached us to buy into the fatal dips lasting days.
They teached us to not fear the forks, because of free altcoin distribution. Gold, Cash, whatsnot.

Since you said "a little money" where is your risk? Why wait? A more Gung-ho attitude and do it today, since waiting doesn't increase it's value anyways. Remember fiat getting dilluted by central banks on a daily base.

I think that the OP wanted to say he doesn't have a lot of money to spend on investment and that's why it should be done in the best possible way.
OP, I think it is better to wait for a couple of weeks. The price always falls down at some point. I don't think it will fall more than 15% though, so if this is not much for you according to your budget then feel free to invest right now.

IMO, BTC price will rise nearer to the fork. I will buy now if I were you.

It has already grown due to btg fork, I don't think people will really do the same thing again. I don't like this price growings being related to forks.. I guess it's a substitute for what eth and neo have with icos. It's a factor which may lead to even more unstable prices than we are used to.

15% dipdown on price is hard to see as of but yet its possible.If we do try to see on after Bitcoin gold event we did see price pullbacks and for those who did enter on those pullbacks did able to make money as of now but yet we are not still hitting $6k price as of now yet which means its not really too late to buy some bitcoin for this upcoming fork. Price will possibly shoot up and might hit $6500 price but isn't still sure since no one could able to predict on what would happen on this upcoming fork.If you can handle the risk on buying now then its still a good move after all.

The best thing you can do is just buy right now, the price is at $5700 at the moment and it wong go down, the charts are saying that it will probably go to $6000 before Monday, and there haven't been any bad news during these days, so it is not going to go down.
And there is going to be a new fork on November 11th, so this is the best time to buy if you want to make some easy profit from it quickly.

if your point about having more BTC is to buy alts and you think you can make good profits by trading BTC for alts, then the sooner you get your BTC the better. if instead your priority is to maximize how much BTC you can get for your fiat, then i'd wait. if segwitx2 is going to be what it intends to be, we may have substantial FUD and general drop in the markets around the fork. i'm personally betting on that as an entry point for more fiat. but again, it's a bet and may well prove wrong.

Too risky to wait until the fork, if I may say so. In fact, it is more likely to surge even higher all the way up to Segwit2x where you can take profits at 10 to 15 % at minimum before it will fall back to the levels today. But do not be surprised if even the fork does not bring it back below $6000. All these forking businesses seem to have strengthened Bitcoin time after time. Then again, SW2x is the most powerful of all the forks. Be ready for surprises.

There is no sure way to know how the price will trade before and after the fork.
Probably safe to buy half position before and keep some cash handy to buy the other
half afterwards.

Just bought half of what I've put aside for crypto. Good idea, it should temper my disappointment if it goes down to 4K right after the fork.

A very hard question ). I would prefer altcoins instead of buying bitcoin nowadays or wait a little bit to buy bitcoin. I think bitcoin price may drop a bit on november.

Wait it out after fork imo,there will be some fud after it to get the price down for sure

But that will be so long, this time the bitcoin seems get another little correction but we are know about what will be happening in the future about the middle of november, 2x fork for bticoin. That will be a good thing to buy at the cheap price.

It is obviously impossible to predict with certainty what will happen but I would say it is more likely that the price will increase than decrease leading up to and following the fork so I would buy now.

No one can predict the current bitcoin price, if you want to buy why have to wait. Buy much as you can, you will not regret it in the future.

If you have extra money its better to invest it to bitcoin and possible that your money will grow the because the price of bitcoin continue to increase. But it's up to you if you want to buy bitcoin or you can wait more weeks to price fall before you buy. Brcause no one can know the actual happen to the bitcoin in the next few weeks or even before and after the fork.
