Hi world
It’s a really hot topic now!
Maybe I’m wrong as a newbie, but the only reason to buy BTC now, before the upcoming hard fork, is a desire to get an extra B2X coin for free (if your wallet supports the option) and a hope that the total price of both coins after the fork will be still higher than the rather elevated price of BTC now.
Have I missed something?
(I mean short-term investments; in a long-term sense it’s perhaps always wise to invest in (= transfer money to) Bitcoin.)
From my current investments, the money I would get from Segwit2X (let's say $1800=BX2?) is approximately the same that the profit I may do from selling BTC at the peak before fork (let's say $7500).
The only reason to invest in BTC now is that I have just collected my salary and think that after this $500 correction bitcoin can only recover till $7500. I would cash out this high price bought BTC before the fork (let's say Friday-Sunday) to avoid the burst. It may be a small profit but it's something. Anyway, I know I might go for some alts with this money, but I have just got my Bittrex account enhanced and I still don't fell comfortable with this site.
I don't need this money anyway, so in the worst case I may go for long term. lol
