Will bitcoin go under 2000 dollars until august 1?
I'm planning on buying 1 whole bitcoin, but I don't have that much money. I only have 1950 around dollars.
Should I wait to buy a whole bitcoin or just buy 0.8 btc now?

Who knows? It may dip due the hardfork FUD, we might as well visit $2000.. i mean its possible.
But what's pretty much guaranteed is that, in the small possibility of a hardfork actually happening, the fork chain token will crash, and crash badly, so don't do the stupid mistake of selling legacy coins for forked (segwit2x) coins. As small guys the most rational scenario is possibly to just hold and see what happens.

No one knows the fate of btc before and after Aug 1st. It's purely speculative. Just buy what you can afford for now. You don't have to buy a full bitcoin. Things could go either way so be prepared for anything.

Nobody here can give you a 100% definitive answer. Go with your gut feeling, collect as much info as you can & make a decision. My non expert opinion would be to buy now.

there is no exact answer for this question, the Bitcoin's price could rising or dropping down after the 1st August. If you are looking for long term holding you can buy now , and surely the price will increase in the long run.

- Noway to predict that but $2000 can be base price for next pump, so it is possible.
- Than set buy order for 1 bitcoin with price $1950, if you are not in a hurry.
- I suggest you to wait till august if you are passive investor, but if you like to actively trade bitcoin for even small amount of profit regularly than you can buy now and sell when price will pump.

Maybe yes - Maybe no. If someone knows that maybe that person is preparing things now and will bet all his balls to bitcoin if or on the other hand will sold all of them.

It's your decision to be made and we can't suggest you the right thing to do. Once a person is thinking to buy bitcoin at any price rate considering all the speculations currently on hand, they must ready to face all the possible risk that they will faced. My suggestion would be; spare amount to buy and take that as a loss. Who knows that "loss" will eventually become more valuable if everything goes the way you want.

Yes very possible to go to $2000 price. Yesterday it went down $2,220 from $2600. Imagine that much shed. It will go down to $1,800 as predicted.

The deadline is $1800 it has chances to go up to this margin. But our bad luck it may go below this margin anything can happen, and we must accept this. But don't sell your coins hold it and wait for 1 or 2 months surely it will come up and reach a new milestone.

its possible for bitcoin to reach down until $2000 or $1800,we still wonder whats going on when 1 august come,the war between UASF and MASF still not end,i just wait and prepare for the worst possibility that will come. yes you right,we still can playing or trading with other coin,i am also sure the other coin will simply back to nice price.

It is very much possible. After touching the $3,000 mark in June, I didn't expected Bitcoin to go down so sharply. To tell the truth, I was expecting a correction. But I never thought that it will be more than 10% to 12%.

We don't know what's really gonna happen on Aug 1. In my opinion, there will be a slight dip but I'm not sure if it will go down to sub $2000. Currently the price is $2300 and we are still farther from the said that. The price dip has started this Monday, So from $2600 to $2300 is a dip of $300. We need to be vigilant and observed the market trend before making our move closer to Aug 1 date.

No one can tell you on whats possible to happen until August 1. Its very possible that you can have a good speculation. But if I were you just buy bitcoin today with your $1950 and no regrets. Sit back and relax just watch the crypto war. Make sure that you are ready on everything.

Probably will.

Bitfinex reached 2160, not that far away.

And still no signs of a true rebound.

Don't know exactly what would happen after august 1.So just wait till august and carefully monitor the price.Even if you see a small increase in price,then immediately buy as much amount of bitcoin that you can buy with $1950.

i bet 1000$ that it will go more than 2700$...

anyone wanna bet?

Wow, it's really going under 2000. My mouth is getting watery. Everyday bitcoin loses 100 so dolars. Now, I'm thinking about if I can buy 2 whole btc if I wait until 1 august.
Thankfully I waited till now.

There's also this news 'bitcoin bloodbath' saying btc will crash after 1 august whether it's hard or soft fork, what do you think?
Shoul I wait for after 1 august?

There will be no fork.

UASF is user-activated, you need a modified version of QT, which is the wallet most people use to store BTC in their computers. A very small minority uses this modified version. So it will crash if activates. This is the one that will be activated in August 1, but few people are saying it depends on you, the user, to happen. Since most users dont know about this, it will not happen.

BIP148 is the original SegWit, I guess. But SegWit2x have more support, it's near 95%. If it reaches that, BIP148 needs to be abandoned per rules of consensus. Date for SegWit2x activation would be 21st July. If it wont reach 95%, nothing will happen, and BIP148 will keep pushing until someone reaches 95% consensus.

No fork, just a bunch of whales selling everything and generating FUD with fake news.

Maybe this is the last time they can do that. Maybe big money from companies will pour after SegWit activation, who knows? That's the reason why this time is falling so much as to become a bear market.

True, BIP148 is a way of activating original SegWit.
the support for SegWit2x is about 90% last time I checked. and it only needs 85% support for activation and the 95% was for the original SegWit. which means it is already above that needed threshold.

if you are looking for the exact bottom to buy at, maybe waiting can be a good idea. but a better idea would be buying something at the very least. for example buy 25% of what you want to buy soon and then wait to see if it goes below $2000 or not. if you wait and it doesn't go that low you will be kicking yourself.

I think you should wait if you looking for lower price because now is very close to 2000$ on all exchanges and it is falls down very quick.This is something that many people waiting and like you they want to invest in BTC.But this low price also have some extra risk in spite of the fact that buying bitcoins is always a risk.

In any case an opportunity is shown to buy cheap BTC in the next days/some will buy-others will sold and wait to see what will happen after the  August 1.

Bitcoin is keep falling! The official price is 2093.44$ in the current moment WOW WOW No doubt why so much people got panic, but I will hold my coins, all this "bitcoin is dying!" can't affect on me! But the situation shows us that Bitcoin will fall under 2000$ price till the 1st of August. It's just the middle of the month and the price is already close to 2000$ as never before.

People, don't fall for the fud that trolls are spreading on purposely to cause panic amongst doubting users. At this point literally no one knows what will happen, people here can only wildly speculate about potential outcomes. In general, if you want to be somewhat on the safer side when it comes to investing in Bitcoin, I would advice you to buy 50% at current levels, and keep the other 50% of your funds aside for when the price happens to tank deeper. As long as the price remains above the $2000 level, there is no reason for people to panic. Don't forget that this can also be seen as a shakeout. Large players know how to make the market look like a complete warzone in order to make coins from weak handed people flow into stronger hands. Remember - as long as you aren't selling, you don't lose anything. :)

This is exactly my point but in all sincerity, its actually a difficult thing to do at this time considering the panic that have ravage the space and I must say the confidence level is really dropping among people who have initially promised to hold still and that's my earlier position that the outcome of this is largely dependent on the reaction of the majority in the crypto space which is what we are expecting. The below $2000 mark is very much possible considering the number of days to August 1 compared to the current price.

People here keep saying that noone knows what will happen before August 1st, but we actually can be quite confident in what is going to happen until then. There are us who believe in bitcoin as a general future coin and we know that it will survive no matter what. But there are a lot of people that look at bitcoin only for quick short-term profits and any news about some huge change and presumably split of the coins will make all these investors and businessmen just plainly panic. And we see it already now. Half a month before the 1st and the price is already falling, when the rest of people see that the price is falling they will sell as much as they can to get their lovely fiat money. Then just before the 1st the price will hit low, maybe 1500. That's the moment when you decide whether you take a risk and buy it hoping the split won't totally destroy bitcoin and we will go for 5000 maybe. Until very last days of July we will see it lower and lower and that's good for buyers.

I am afraid it may go under $2000 levels before august 1 as people are moving away from exchanges and probably securing their capital into fiats to buy back after aug 1st. They got reasons and this downfall is not due to any negative aspects of bitcoin ecosystem hence we must stay calm till aug 1st without going for panic selling.

I guess there could be strong physiological resistance will be possible round $2000 levels. If it holds then we may see temporary short term upward movements till $2300.

if we see for the current price movement i have to says yes bitcoin will go under $2000 but just in case if i may to suggest that i think you have to wait a little longer and buying between date July 29 - 30 July because on those date maybe bitcoin will dropped to the bottom and your amount will be enough to buy 1 bitcoin or maybe you can buy more than 1 bitcoin with it

What are you afraid of really?

Or do you have a sizable stash of bitcoins, and you now feel it with your skin how their dollar value vanishes? If this is no more than panic selling, you should be happy to buy bitcoins low and lower, right? Otherwise, I find it a bit hypocritical to tell people not to sell when you yourself don't know for sure whether the price won't crash. Personally, I was telling people to close their positions when the price had yet been over 2,500 dollars per coin (not so long ago), and this is what I did myself anyway

It can dip below 2000 mark but for a short time. After August 1, it will rise again.

This is indeed a bad thing. Bitcoin prices have a very high correction, many people are experiencing panic sell and then this causes a decrease in bitcoin prices. All the bitcoin markets in the world are experiencing uncertainty. Many investors are also frightened and withdraw their money to the USD. This is unexpected, after everything went well for the last 2 months and finally the bitcoin price decreased

I checked the bitcoin price in preev and value for one bitcoin is around 2040$. I didn't expect this price fork. If this goes like that no one will hold the bitcoins. All the people will move towards ETH and other alts which is good for investment. Seriously fear about August 1st. I personally don't this to happen.

The bitcoin price ranges from $2015 to 2045 in the different exchanges with a drop of +$500 in one week so yeah... - $2000 seems possible in the next hours or days

Just wait for August 1 don't waste any single cents. Sad to say but it seems we can see lower than $2000 earlier than that date. Today 24H low on bitstamp was $2005, almost touching under $2K. So it's better if you will just wait for Aug 1 if you want to buy at a cheaper price.

Looks like people are withdrawing money from bitcoins, panic selling or just a strategy to sell now and buy later while it's cheaper I don't know, but I think we will see bitcoin price under 2000$ mark.
August 1 is just a date, and its just one day, for us to see changes time needs to pass. Week or month, maybe more I can't give some accurate prediction cause I'm not some expert, but I sincerely doubt that everything can happen in just one day and in next day to see price back on 3000$. Patience my dear friends is what we need now, waiting and observing the situation, like last year maybe we will see results in October, November, and that is 4 months from now.

Its now below $1980. Its falling due to lack of support. Lets buy now.people and stop selling.

I just made another buy and will keep doing it for i want to accumulate bitcoin and i will not do panic selling.

Well, I didn't thought we would be visiting sub $2000 levels, but we did. It's quite tempting to buy myself a few coins, but won't do so yet. Now the price has taken a dive under $2000, I think we may very well go down a notch or two more in the coming days. I will start buying back some of my recently sold +$2400 coins if we happen to dive under the $1800 level. I did well in not buying back at low $2000's. Remaining conservative can definitely help out in certain situations. :)

Nothing is easy, but I seriously don't understand why anyone would ever want to sell at a loss if they don't have to. Yes, the price is going down, and the forum nearly explodes with 1st of August threads, but this is something they should have seen coming. If people choose to invest in something, they have to properly understand what they are investing in, and also understand that certain upcoming events may cause the market to turn into a temporary bear hole. If people get upset right now, then it shows that they were aiming at a lucky shot.

I do have a fair bit of coins, and no I am not caring about any sort of short term decrease in terms of fiat value.

That's exactly what I am doing.

You did the right thing. My main point is that people shouldn't be selling their coins in current state at a loss, while they could have done their selling at far higher levels before. If you didn't sell back then, then just suck it up, and don't sell now. Instead, use current levels to increase your coin count, and as result, decrease your overall buying price.

The price still stands at 2000USD, and now the price seems to have started to rise again. So we will not get the price below 2000USD for some time to come. The bitcoin price reduction crisis is over, now we have to start over to see the better bitcoin price movement. Buy bitcoin and we will benefit in the future.

We can't be too sure yet if it will go down more then $2000 but mind you, bitcoins price as we speak is at $2004 so if you know how to read the charts then you'll probably know if it'll go down more. I myself am not an expert on reading charts yet and have been constantly studying its fundamentals. Just set a traget price then if you really want to buy bitcoin with the money you have.

That happens because the price gets bought up by those that were waiting for the right moment to enter the market. I think you're too quickly assuming that the 'crisis' is over, while things aren't over until SegWit is finally up and running (hopefully not with a fork as result). A potential fork, that's where the major part of this panic comes from. 21 July is the date (if things don't change) miners will/can start signalling SegWit2X support, which means that from that day things start to get serious. As you see, there is still nearly a week to go before we see how the official SegWit2X signalling plays out.

It is very likely, It is hovering above $2000 now. no need to panic though, expect record spikes in a few weeks if mr seg wit makes the network faster, and transaction fees better. If you bought lower than $2000 you are still in profit, those that bought higher would be advised to sit tight and wait until august.

It is the time to those who wanted to enter bitcoin, it will be a good start for them since price is low and increase in bitcoin preice will eventually happen real soon . So we don't need to panic it will just make us worried and might get sick overthinking .

There is a possibility. As of now, Bitcoin is at around $2070 based from coinmarketcap.com. And since it is too early to have a panic, we may see Bitcoin going below the 2000 dollar line on the following days. The probability of going lower than $2000 is high so if you want, you can wait until you can buy a whole Bitcoin but 0.8BTC is a good enough for me. It is your call, though.

Yes i was able to buy at $1980 level awhile ago. I buy on deep coz we don't know when bitcoin will start sky rocketing again. Will it be at $2000? Or will it stay at this level and fly to the moon after August 1? We dont know. But since i have money to buy then i will keep on buying.

Good move dude If you are able to buy at that low price. I guess we don't need to wait to get the price of bitcoin to go below $2000 because we are getting in there. I hope resistance can still at around $2000 though. That's why its much better to buy at this situation and accumulate more bitcoin instead of just simply dumping it. Lucky you, you have the funds to buy bitcoin in this price, because after Aug 1, when the price go up you will find yourself enjoying a huge returns. The price can even go as much as $5000 at the end of the year. So just enjoy holding and buying spree.  ;D

The price is fluctuating and I think its will hit below $2000 in the next days. Sadly to see the price going down hard, but for me its a good time to get a few bitcoin and saved it. I think if you could have wait for a few minutes your target to buy 1 full BTC will happened. Just wait a little longer mate and you will be lucky to get one and I suggest you hold on it until you can. Segwit2x really points that bitcoin price will go high once activated.

Damn, seeing the price on preev is $2,025. It was about to happen but still it is holding on the $2,000 stage. When this thing will stop, people are causing a lot of panic, they didn't understand that everything is just fine with this fork. Well I'll go for buying when it will go lower than $2,000 and will not regret with this move.

At one stage i thought the price of bitcoin could go down below $2000 and if it does then we will see a downward rally,but luckily the price have improved a bit,these are testing times for sure,lets see if it breaches the resistance we have in the coming week.

Looks like Jihan succeeded in his plans to devalue Bitcoin, even if it wasn't true people still are dumping.

By 30 minutes ago last I checked price was going down from $2050 and now is $2035 with this speed there

Is a chance we hit $1700 in the next 5 days, someone is buying these coins you know, I just wonder who

Is it and where do they get so much money to keep buying whatever people are selling?

If you want to see the rate which refresh every 15 seconds you can download an app on your phone. This way you can buy when the rate is good. Just don't sell now for bitcoin will be at $5,000 after August 1.

I thought I will never see below $2,000 USD again until today but at least it recovered after a few minutes below $2,000 USD considering that its a weekend so expect a slight upward trend coming Monday and Tuesday then dumping starts again. Its a cycle that we have to get used to. There are more panic sellers than those who chose to hold until storm is over.

Yes I think bitcoin will be under $ 2,000 soon, because now the price of bitcoin was at $ 2,004 and predicted prices will continue to fall until August 1. If you want to buy 1 bitcoin maybe you can wait a few more days. But it all depends on you, if you buy now and hold it until the price goes up it already makes you get profit.

They're pretty much affected by the floating rumours around the forum, the blockchain splitting still a "possibility". Just curious what'll happen to the market next after the process after aug 1st stated that all is fine?
Bottom seller might buy back all those coins before its too late and create fast pump or the opposite, pretty curious and it's sure interesting.

I think that only hours ago the 2K has already been breached...so in the next few days leading to the end of the month and August 1, many are expecting the value to go down as low as $1500. Hope it would not go further down than that as it would be already hard to see.

Everywhere in the cryptocurrency traders and holders of coins are doing sell, sell and sell. Everybody is having a panic button and this is greatly affecting all exchanges. After August 1, hopefully things can start to get better.

At this time we can easily see who are the men and who are the boys. They always forget the rule of investing. Buy low and sell high. During low times every body sell and during high time every body buys. Its the opposite.

I see opportunity and this what gives me the edge for i can buy bitcoin while everyone is selling. Hope they see the point of investment.

I hope Bitcoin drop more but the true value of BTC is something that can't be know. So we don't doubt that someday it will be valued much more than it is right now.

There seems to be some panic after $2k was breached. The price has dropped pretty sharply and $1900 seems to be under threat.
Where have all the big buyers disappeared? This is a good buying opportunity for whales.

Yes i just bought at below $1900 level. If its goes down by $1800 level then i will buy again.

It is difficult to predict, but if people lose confidence in bitcoin, its value will continue to decrease. The value of bitcoin always depends on everyone's trust, which is also characteristic of every virtual currency.

I just bought again at $1887 and will continue buying if rate goes down.

Even today, the effects of sewgit have started to look, no need to wait for prices below $ 2000 in August, because now the price of bitcoin really drops to high. I guess people have started to exchange the bitcoin they have, but I hope it soon stops and the price goes back up.

If you did hold as of now into your money then definitely you would able to buy a whole bitcoin as of now since the price lowers upto 1900+ and still decreasing as of now and even theres possibility on hitting 1700-1800 again which is really a disaster for those people who bought on 2500 price for sure they are on loss as of now. August 1 is still too far 2 weeks from now and the price is already reacting  to that event. We might able to see cheaper prices later on not only to bitcoin but also on altcoins.

5 days later.. bitcoin is already under 2000$ .

Amazing I wanted to exchange 25 euro in the morning, usually I was exchanging for 0.008-0.01 now I paid 0.0154. It is sad that after this long buble the price is going back down again.

Now it is hovering at around $1,900, and we still have more than 2 weeks to go for August 1. I think that the exchange rates are going to dip below $1,500 per coin, and it is possible that it may even dip below $1,000 per coin.

Let's wait for another week or so

It would be amusing to see you say something to that tune when Bitcoin goes below the 1,000 dollar mark. I guess it is at that time that it will be clear if you have the balls (if that was your point). Empty bravado won't add to your wealth but wise actions including closing your positions in time certainly will. In any case, keep us informed how your buying spree goes. People will read and maybe even learn something

Dont bet on it for the rate right now is $1830. How about $1,500 level? Want to bet on it?

Haha you dont have any friends? Im just riding on your joke. Stop using computer and try talking to real people. You will be friendly for sure.

It'll get even cheaper in a few more days, as we go nearer Aug 1.

Tracking the $1760 level now and still going down. Buying eill be seen shortly.

Ya I accept it reducing now a days due to July end process. It's the correct to buy the bitcoin. Because now it is cheap but not later After August you can't buy this price.Later you may sell at good price. It's the golden opportunity. Don't miss to brought the bitcoin.

It is now below $2,000 and I just didn't witnessed that it went $1,700 but as of now it is on $1,874. And I don't have an idea if this dipping will go any further for now, I will buy if it will reach my expectation at the lowest dip but if not, I'll be missing in action again of buying some cheaper coins. Hoping when I go home after work tomorrow I can still catch up.

Yes you are right the effect of segwit has started and can be easily noticed from the price that went below $2000.
It is something scary and freaked the users but I think that the price will never be low always it will go again to its value $3000 after the segwit. We will see the price rise soon in august.

IMO we will stay range of 2500$- 2700$ (maybe can hit 3000$ ;)) till august 1. But eveything is possible in this volatile cryptocurrecny world...

We never know that, because if we review the fluctuation of bitcoin in the market we can see that the price of bitcoin was in good place. However, I'm pretty sure that segwit has a large impact to the fluctuation of bitcoin in the market.

You had your chance a few days ago so I hope you took advantage of that because we are not going to see that price again, I think we are going to say goodbye soon enough to the 2000 and we will install ourselves solidly in the 3000 or maybe we could go even higher.

That is true. All the fears now seem to behind us. After dropping to sub $2000, the market has rebounded phenomenally. I don't think there is any fear of bitcoin crashing again in the next one week.

Probably not, and it could be that the bitcoin price is higher than the current price. Well, we do not know the exact thing that will happen in august, but at least we can hold bitcoin in a long time, I'm sure it will be profitable

It is clear that the hard fork issue does not affect much bitcoin users so they do not care to sell to fiat, I'm sure after 1 August the price will remain high.

Well, for me even though this week there is an crash i do not think it will be under 2000 dollars and I'm very confident the bitcoin price will remain at 2000 dollars until the end of next week or on the 29th of July.

I think it's very difficult to get bitcoin prices under $ 2000, 4 days ago bitcoin prices reached the lowest point of $ 2200, I had wanted to sell all the bitcoin but I finally hold and now the price has gone up again to the figure $ 2700.

I think that bitcoin will not fall below 2000 dollars until August 1. Panic is present, but those who believe in bitcoin are still more and they will hold the coins thereby not allowing the price to drop too low.

many people hope that the price is not fall but no one will know for sure and its better to wait while we can trade bitcoin-fiat to make more profit beside that i am sure that other big whales will not let this happen. but if the price is really drop too low, then i think many people will place their order buy and waiting the order is filled.

And now bitcoin is above 2700 the price is moving too much, unless you are a trader by profession then it is better to avoid doing any moves or you could lose money, besides the risk of a hard fork has disappeared at least on the short term, lets see if the miners carry the 2Mb fork they planned.

All possibilities are possible, currently the bitcoin price is above 2800USD and everyone feels they have been disappointed when selling bitcoins at the 2000USD rates. I'm sure that bitcoin price increases will occur after August 1, there will be a faster fix time in every bitcoin transaction. Bitcoin will get better and also more and more used by people in the world.

As mentioned bitcoin is completely unpredictable, and based on the same the price could reach higher or lower depending on the market. Looking upon the ongoing price growth after unexpected price fall once again going back to $2000 or below $2000 before August 1 is not gonna happen anymore.

It may not fall or it may fall. No one knows what is going to be the result of August 1. But let's just don't be like those FUD spreaders and says that price may be lower by that time. I personally think that it is not going to go down again lower at $2,000. We can see it go $2,200 but it is going to increase again too fast.

Amen to that. Those FUD that are spreading will not go and will not stop so I say ignore them because they have some hidden agenda behind it. I don't think that the price will really go down low to $2000. We have it seen though just a few days back but when BIP91 everything went all good. Its just a week before the Aug 1, the price may go down a small percentage but I doubt it will be $2000. And yes, it will increase again even if we see it go down because that's what trader like, buy bitcoin as lower and sell it at high price.

The Same Question and Same Hesitation i feeling like you
As being get few advised me and After few times analysis just need to wait
If hard-soft forks are work properly than Price may wont down anymore but if crash or problem occur to implementation on fork than btc price will crash and down to near about 2k

I'm counting on the hardford FUD; segwit is almost sure (still need to be careful about exchange's policy of last days though, to avoid blockage of fund).

And 1800 level was tested so to go there again you really need a big panic.

You shouldn't keep money/cryptocurrency in exchange's wallets anyway.
Especially not during events like scaling upgrade, exchanges have no experience in handling such cases.
As for the potential price crash - even if everything will go fine according to the plan and scaling will be a pure success, we cannot guarantee that people will still panic anyway.

I'm sure it'll not happen. Bitcoin will continue to be above $2000. All parties are optimistic on bitcoin and August 1, i think is a very good sentiment for bitcoin exchange rate.

This will no longer happen. Its all good now. 100% miners support. 

I think today the price will fall, but it does not. This is a confusing situation for me. But yes, it looks like bitcoin will still stay above $2500 until 1 aug.

That would be under perfect circumstances. It's not unlikely that certain entities might be going to take advantage of the fear amongst people. If you browse through the forum, you'll see how much fear there is when it comes to the first of August date. People are infecting each other with non information and fud to such a level, that if something is going to happen for real, its effect on the market will be massive. On the other hand, I just hope that we can leave this nonsense behind us, so we can finally move further and focus on growth again. It has taken far too long already....

I'm also hoping for that kind of scenario. But most of us know how bitcoin price is unpredictable so we really don't know what will happened. I will be very optimistic though because we already know that BIP91 is already a sure thing and SW software are being used to mined blocks now. So it all points to a direction that bitcoin will really increase its price before or after Aug 1. But just to be cautious at the same time and be vigilant as well because maybe others are thinking of disrupting and taking advantage of the situation.

Holders wish the price to go up for more profit.
Newcomers wish the price to go down for more opportunities.

Everything is naturally.

Just after 2 weeks we already watched the price of Bitcoin even lower than 2000 dollars. Although I would not scare users and say that Bitcoin has a very shaky state to date. Just need to be patient and wait a little. In this case, avoid all kinds of transactions.

And those that bought at 2800 are probably regretting it since bitcoin now sits on the 2600, this show us that we should only a trade if we see an opportunity to make money, if you do not see it then it is better to stay away from it and just try to accumulate more bitcoin.

The price is becoming low again but I hope that it's not going to decrease some more. I know the price will not go down low to $2,000 either. We just have to be faithful and believe as the price of bitcoin is moving. And as of now, we can't do something but have to wait for the August 1 to come and we will see the best effect of it.

I guess the probability is high for bitcoin to decrease until $2000 but I think it will not last for a long period like what happen this past few days sudden decrease in price of bitcoin but after 2 days it pump. It's really volatile and we cannot predict what will gonna happen in august 1 right now it started to decrease again just keep on eye and we'll see the next chapter of bitcoin

I really cannot predict whether the price of bitcoin will go down before August,but i am pretty confident that the price of bitcoin will soar to new heights in the coming months and that is what i am looking for,if the price goes down,i will be happy to collect more coins and that is it,just enjoy the ride.

It all depends on what people were aiming at when they bought their coins. If they were expecting the price to climb further, hoping to make a few quick bucks, they will surely regret having bought at such levels. If people bought their coins for long term holding purposes, it shouldn't concern people when the price is showing a short term decrease -- in this case the long term price is all that matters. That being said, as long as people aren't selling, they won't lose anything. If you buy at such price levels, you must be aware of the fact that the price can, and likely will go down with the first of August being so close.

Then, what have you done now with bitcoin you have, whether already you sell it or are you still holding it?
If i see in the coming months I'm also pretty sure bitcoin prices will soar over 3k dollars, but for now until the 1 august the bitcoin price go under 2k dollars i think it is impossible even though all possibilities still can happen.

Yes your right bitcoin price was hard to predict. Because due to segwit fluctuation of price in the market was largely affected. From now bitcoin value was started again to decline. But I believe that bitcoin on August 1 was survive and rapidly raising up.

I'm sure it will not be under $ 2000, this is because many users are still optimistic that the hard fork issue will not make the bitcoin go missing so they keep hold bitcoin.

Yes, I think that when bitcoin is divided, its value will be severely reduced. It will go down to $ 1,500 or lower, and the BCC will carry about $ 500. That's my guess, I think it's accurate.

It depends on the price  of BCC. If the BCC price is high and many people will mine it, then the bitcoin price could drop a bit.

We can see the bad news about BTC-e in past day can't make the price of Bitcoin drop under $2000. So, if have HardFork in next time and split chain network Bitcoin, still not need fearing about that, because the price of Bitcoin (Core) always high than other Bitcoin create from UAHF.

In this situation anything can happen. But I guess it's price won't fall beyond 2000 dollars. Today is 27th of July, but it's still maintaining it's price in the range of 2300 - 2600 dollars and I personally think, it's price won't increase or decrease. It may remain stable for the next few months in the above range.

what trading anything taught me that most of the time things happen in a way that majority didn't predict to dominate more. just be careful. do risk management. be far from gambling.

There are possibilities that bitcoin may fall in that day but i don't see that bitcoin will be fall under 2000 dollars seems bitcoin is unstable bitcoin already reach the price of 2,800 plus there are possibilities that bitcoin maybe fall over 800$ and it will be that price but there are trading and exchagne website where they can sell their coins and wait for the price to be down again and buy to make a large profit because of this.

Did you looked at the date of Op posted this? He asked whether bitcoin could fall below $2000 until August 1st, not on August 1st.
And the answer is yes, as bitcoin price has declined to $1800 on July 16th, the lowest price on this month and I doubt it could be lower than $1800 again due to hard fork issue or BCC UAHF which is an altcoin.
Bitcoin price has recovered to $2700-$2800 and there are 3 days before deadline, no chance to fall below $2300 I guess.

It's increasing today,I also believe it will not fall less than $2000, many still considering to buy btc even the August 1 split. Many take it as opportunity to buy in cheap amount.

The price before 1 August may be under $ 2000, but after that the price will skyrocket and will reach $ 3000 or more in a day, I will quote this post if my prediction is true or wrong.

You are correct in your assertions, but now with the introduction of bitcoin cash, there is also a chance that many of those that are getting into bitcoin at the moment are hoping to make money with the free bitcoin cash they are going to receive for every bitcoin they own, so while the price of bitcoin is going to suffer I do not think things are going to be so bad.

Quoted for you  :P
For the first part hopefully the price wasn't under $2000.
For the second part i don't think it will happens, maybe a slight move upward or loosing up to $100 but after 24 hours maybe a +3000 will be possible  

Edit
Indeed
