Topic: Should I Purchase Bitcoin or Wait for the Fork? - page 2. (Read 952 times)

The higher the risk the more the profit. Even living is a risk. I will not sell my BTC for any reason if am holding it as an investment.What altcoin can you invest that will give you a good profit that will be more than what you will get from BTC for now.  If you have an answer to that then invest in it.

if this is for long term hold, then it would not really matter much if you are buying before or after. true is, everyone think the price will take a fall after the fork but there is really no guarantee way to ensure it.

you should buy them now, or you'll regret forever

Can't wait to see the fork happen on 16th of November. It's always exciting seeing the changes put into effect and how Bitcoin and Altcoins react to the change.

I would advise that you wait for the fork to happen in a few days and see how that will affect things.
Bitcoin has potential to rise eventually. Invest in altcoins too if you can, since they will probably increase in value after the fork too. Don't invest in shitcoins though, do some research ofcourse!

Usually Bitcoins takes a dip after forks, that would probably be the best time to buy.

I think you should wait for bitcoin fork, because the price of bitcoin is currently very high.
But if you look at bitcoin prices last month and month now it is increasing rapidly.
And also there is no harm in you buy bitcoin now because it could be increased bitcoin prices

I'm the kind of person who does not care about fork, I prefer buying altcoin that have potential to up rather than btc

I am a financial consultant and a lot of my clients are asking the same question and trust me on this, it is the hottest topic in the market  
Before answering this, let me give you an insight to current market situation.

The BTC market capital has increased enormously and that is one of the main reason for the rapid BTC growth, now, there are again a lot more potential investors sitting in the market and discussing the same topic, plus there is the greed of B2X with the upcoming Fork.
People believe that this FORK will be the real and most important for BTC, others do have their different opinion, but more percentage of people are in support to FORK.

Many potential investors are waiting for a big BTC correction to enter the market, so in case BTC corrects back by 30-40% that will be the best in favor of BTC, as these potential investors will get their entry point and then there will be no stopping for BTC to Boom to new ATH now and then.

To your question, as per the market sentiments, BTC will not dip before the FORK, the greed for B2X is strong and people will keep moving to BTC till FORK, there may be small corrections, but not a real dip.
The Real DIP will occur organically post FORK snapshot and it will take some time for BTC to correct back under $5000, that will be the most optimum time and a good entry point for $BTC.
Again, it depends upon how much you are willing to invest in BTC and is it really worth to wait for that long time and also ignore B2X.
You must DYOR before listening to anyone else (even ME ofcourse) and all the very best.

I would be buying altcoins instead.  Many are very cheap and some are even close to the ico prices.  There's a lot of altcoins that are having releases very soon such as Waves and Stratis.  Buying any of those tokens will end up with a higher ROI than holding onto your 1 BTC to receive 1 B2X. 

Yeah probably the price will still go up until the forks are all over, but if you want to take a risk and buy now and hold for the upcoming fork it might be rewarding or a complete disaster. 

One or more forks are coming after Segwit2x so IMO price will go up more if I am correct BTC Silver is planned in December, so price should not drop after Segwit2x but cannot say anything right now price might just boom up more.

I have no doubt that bitcoin is a good investment even at the current price. But I think that getting some altcoins is also a good investment. Since the price of most of the altcoins out there are down, you get more of them. And when the price gets back up as the price of bitcoin settles after the fork, you'll get more profit. This is just an option.

It is really hard to predict where the price of bitcoin will head after segwit2x but if we go with what it went after the last two hard forks, it went very well. So, yeah, buying bitcoin is a good idea.

This is good advice if you don't have the disposable income to risk it. It's always better to average your gains/losses and become more educated for future forks.

I don't think this comment of mine would make sense but i would rather buy after the fork because after that, the price may decrease a little bit then surely it will go up again. That decrease would still give more bitcoin rather than buying now which maybe is the all time highest price. Because the last split just just nonesense if you really can't sell it instantly after the split.

 

you can still go and buy bitcoins even at a high price because as you see bitcoins is still rising therefore you can still earn a little bit more and have a great return on your invested capital plus you can also get forked coins that you can sell for an even extra profit , yet its still a bang of the buck and not pretty risky but if all fails  then you can just wait again for the bitcoins value to recover and pump.

It is on November 16th, count down timer.

when will the fork be?
i end up searching for when but i found no date were posted. my suggestion is to just wait for the price to dip less than 5k. at least that should be your target.  it ain't good to see the price dip to 5k while you bought your btc at 7500.

If you can afford, it's better to buy bitcoins. As we have seen dramatic rise in price of bitcoin just before a fork. But the fall in price after the fork in negligible. This might not be true always but it's what we've seen in last couple of forks.
PS- and there's forked coin as bonus.

Bitcoin fork is no matter because bitcoin already grow up around $7500. Bitcoin price is very first increase because most of the company accept bitcoin payment that's way bitcoin price growing very first. We want to say that no need to wait for fork you must buy bitcoin because it will be a more valuable.
