Maybe you can reduce the risk and average in. Take your budget, and split it into thirds. Purchase a 1/3 today, then a 1/3 after the eventual drop after the fork, and leave a 1/3 on the sidelines for a few weeks after the fork. You'll only get your third of Segwit2x but if it's Bitcoin you want then this is a less risky strategy.
However... if you're holding for the looooooong run, then it doesn't quite matter since you believe Bitcoin will be more 5-years from now than today, tomorrow, or next month.
Topic: Should I Purchase Bitcoin or Wait for the Fork? - page 3. (Read 959 times)
I maybe wrong offcourse, but buying now BTC is crazy. It is up from 3400$ to 7300$ just in month!
A: It could hapen sell of before the fork. Some traders will take money from Bitcoin at ATH
B: It could happen sell of after the fork, so people who now sold alts will return back.
In my opinion you should buy alts now and get your profit in short term.
I think it is better for you to sell 1 BTC you owning for some stable alts. And do not sell alts at least when they are bleeding.
If you want minimalize risk look at ETH/BTC pair. I do not know for sure, but it seems ETH//BTC ratio will increase and you could made much more BTC in the end. Just look in a weekly graphs of ETH/BTC..it is almost at the begining of this year. Definetly it will goes up. I wish I could have some BTC, but I am allready out of it in other projects.
I do not recomend to you wait till fork happens.
Also in short term you probably will lose money if will buy BTC for your alt now.
Technicly BTC is overbought and if it will grow more it will be suicide. I think it maybe good starting point to sell your BTC to alts now.
Just choose good alts, not shitcoins.
In my opinion even a daytraders must not buy BTC now. Short term they will lose money/alts

I've only 1 btc in my portfolio and all others are alts. But thinking about to add one more in it. What experts say about it, I must go for btc at this high rate or wait for the fork dust to settle down? I know I'll get the free coin, but is it reasonable to take risk of buying at this high price?
I'm pretty sure that bitcoin still has room to go up till the 16th. Afterwards it will probably go down. I bought bitcoin to ride the wave and then put into vertcoin on the 15th or 16th as it's opening up in Asian markets. Then just see where it goes. I mean, its just my life savings- no big deal.
This is quite a difficult question. I think bitcoin is too high at the moment to buy but off course I might be wrong.
It should be cheaper after the fork.
