Its a good decision that you dont sell your bitcoins by now. Cause it will probably goes up to 1500$ by the month of july.
The best thing to do for now is to hold all your bitcoins,dont panic if bitcoin goes down cause it will definitely makes its way to go up again.


But you cannot predict exactly what will happen. price might go down as well. however hoping all the things goes well. the one reason why am not having the plan to sell the coins is simple, the price has become much stable even the price falls then as you mentioned we have hoped that again it will recover on its own. however i will sell the coin when i feel am getting the best benefit from it instead of thinking too much whether to sell or not.

iam not selling coin, because iam lost
i am hold until coin can incraese again until iam profit can selling
if still down price iam use margin short, iam trading in bitfinex,kraken, and poloniex in there support margin trading


If you ask me i can say that one logic what majority of them follows, we expect always a very good benefit from what we have invested for. the way btc is growing by just analyzing the past 2 years of experience we can see how much it has given the real value. so majority of the people think like how am thinking to not sell the coin now, maybe after 3-5 months or more than that will sell the coin to see huge profit.

I fully agree with jonald here. He presented a solid standpoint here and his arguments seems logical.
Anyone who is preaching that only safe option is to sell all your coins and, maybe, rebuy them later is just spreading FUD.
Bitcoin is too precious and expensive (not only as a currency, but rather as economic phenomenon) to tinker with it and make hasty upgrades.
I hope we will have seamless transition to whatever scaling solution community/miners will chose.

- Populist movement of BU means community is NOT letting Blockstream/Core get away with their agenda... In other words,
not letting them cripple the network with high fees and slow confirmation times, which would kill the utility of Bitcoin
and give the business to alts.  This is VERY good news.  Even with multiple node crash bugs, BU hashrate is rising.  Miners can see the writing
on the wall, they would rather use buggy BU than roll over for Core.
so are you implying that Blockstream/core is spamming bitcoin transactions to increase the backlog (transactions in mempool) and cause the delays and fee rise?
you know that there is the same conspiracy theory saying BU is doing the spam attack right?
 

No, i'm implying blocks are fundamentally full and there is no future for a Bitcoin that won't scale. Moreover, it must scale now before it loses marketshare,
and preferably on chain.

Jonald stop scaring the noobies... I do not have the fiat to buy all those coins now.  Grin .... Most people are blowing this out of proportion so that

they can get the uninformed to sell their coins. I have been in Bitcoin much too long to scare easily.... and will hold onto my hoard until this thing

goes to the Moon.  Grin .... Ethereum went through the same thing and it is stronger than before.  Grin

haha, come on man, don't ruin it for us.
the guy from whom i borrowed money last time price took a dive was very happy about the performance in the short term. i think i will do that again because at this point i am not willing to touch my cold storage and risk selling and not being able to buy back the same amount.

yes... yes... sell your your coins before we fork and bitcoin becomes worthless Cool

Why you think july is the month where we will move to those highs?
Just wild guessing or any metrics you had a look at?
I'm just curious.

I agree that selling now is risky, as much risky as holding.The thing is we all here have aboslutely no clue what's going to happen next.
As long a you're not overinvested and really have strong faith in Bitcoin, there shouldn't be any circunstances where you think about selling. It's all about going through thick and thin then. We had 17 months of great upwards movement.Maybe now it's a time where we need some strong nerves and have to show our confidence and faith in our precious Bitcoin.See it as a kind of test before we can continue moving up again if you want.

The real question should be 'Why didn't you sold at $1200 and rebuy now at $1000 or even below coming days?'
TBH I actually sold only a fraction of BTC that I own, when the price reached $1000 in Dec-Jan and I did that only because it was making me a ton of profit. I have bought most of my BTC during the $400 range, so a $1000 was making a good profit. Now at this moment i have quite a bit of BTC and don't plan to sell them, and neither buy anymore BTC buying right now is pointless for me and i cannot afford to buy a substantial amount.

maybe he missed that price so he don't sold it at $1200 and he can not bought at $1000. if he can sell it, i am sure that he can buy at least 2 btc and right now, he have that bitcoin in his wallet. but i think its good to not selling your coins right now because you are sure that the price will increase more higher.

Selling is risky and highly unnecessary. I for example bought all my bitcoins at $300 and never sold any. I don't have to sell because the value of my investment is increasing dramatically.

Never trust the people whom advise you to sell. They hang out on a bitcoin-dedicated forum, go figure... They are after your coins. I have friends who don't believe in bitcoin, they are not on bitcointalk.

You talk from a strong position. You were from the almost early adopters, so you dont care even if the price falls at $500 because you still are in profit. For the majority of BTC users who bought their coins from $1000+ they had to sell at $1200 and rebuy back. I was one of them. I sold all at $1200 and now I am in 33BTC worth of fiat If I buy right now.

that doesn't make any sense!
even if you bought at $10 you would mind if price falls. profit is not just x2-x1 > 0 it is the time you let your money sleep and not touch it.

and all that aside if you really know what bitcoin is, meaning not just believe what you read on the internet, then you wouldn't care about what people say and what tiny fluctuation bitcoin may have when you are looking at the bigger picture.

what you said is true for those who are day trading. yeah if you want to buy today in order to sell tomorrow or in a week then you mind the small changes.

what if i were to tell you people were saying the same thing you are saying right now when price was $220?

I will be holding my coins anyway (Core and BU) in case of a fork. I have enough confidence that at some point everything will return back to normal (in terms of the price). I will just use the panic that goes through the market to trade against the volatility, and to increase my holdings in case the price falls down deep enough. I think that's the best possible way of dealing with this entire situation.

hard fork is not even damaging the bitcoin network if according to the recent announcement said. i guess Chinese is gonna majorly monitor the bitcoin blockchain regarding the transaction to prevent money laundering, the reason bitcoin price is falling.

Can you even get in trouble holding BTC. I have 100 BTC. BTC forks..I have 100 BTC yet (at whatever price)
I have alt equiv BTU 100 coin also.

say BTU becomes dominate....i hold that and dump out what I can from BTC and at worse I'm in the same boat
right 100 bitcoin of the winning flavor?

So no risk right? Except the  strain of all this angst etc of the bitcoin universe imloding to beanie babies or tulips that is Smiley

I'll be honest with you -- i was considering selling a portion of my coins,
expecting a crash during this period of great uncertainty, but now i'm strongly leaning
toward holding all of them.

We may still see a sell off.

But, my thoughts are as follows:

- Populist movement of BU means community is NOT letting Blockstream/Core get away with their agenda... In other words,
not letting them cripple the network with high fees and slow confirmation times, which would kill the utility of Bitcoin
and give the business to alts.  This is VERY good news.  Even with multiple node crash bugs, BU hashrate is rising.  Miners can see the writing
on the wall, they would rather use buggy BU than roll over for Core.

- Big whales already sold off a lot of coins

- Network split likely not to happen.  Core will capitulate and give the community bigger blocks or emergent consensus
because that is what people want -- even luke jr's own straw poll advocated this in the event that hashpower takes
over.  Core will save their ass even if they can't save face and at least try to remain as the "main" repo even if they
have to raise the blocksize.

- Already seeing alternate patches like Core + EC

- $1000 price now seen as support.  Dips below $1000 will be bought.  Also good timing with Chinese controls --
too late to get out now.  Only panic sellers will want to cash out at under $1000.  Big upside reward to hang
in there.

- Everyone knows there will be a huge rally after the tension is settled.  Whales will be buying back their positions.
Smaller investors too.  No one will sell.





I strongly agree with you.

Price hasn't moved much even though there is obviously a lot of negativity within the community. The price has never stayed below the level of $1000 for over a period of more than 2 days in the whole of March, which is really crazy if you think about it.

I wouldn't sell any coin either right now.

After all, bitcoin core + bitcoin unlimited value should add up to the previous bitcoin value. So it doesn't make a difference.

bitcoin will not die because of an hard fork

good point and I would also want to correct it by saying:
bitcoin will not die because of a small chance of hard fork or an hard fork with consensus which has been the approach so far and I doubt any miner would even consider forking while a big part of the hashrate is not yet agreeing with them.
