Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys. Im waiting and hoping this dump
Will continue to 1300 or 1500 before i buy
Which do you think is more ideal
Before aug 1 so i can participate if it splits
Or after aug 1 so i can read the market reaction?

I think it's better if you buy bitcoin now if you have the capital but don't buy them all in bulk, diversify or divide the budget you have intended to buy bitcoin and buy them everytime the bitcoins price dips. That's called averaging too.

After August 1st is a better choice. The price is dropping, but this is not the end. Only panic sellers and those who are in the thought of a hardfork are selling their Bitcoins. I see some whales holding their BTC in their wallets and dreaming of 5000$ by the end of this year. But dont miss the early buying because the price will definitely shoot back as soon as segwit is done.  

yes it best time to buy bitcoin before 1st August.. because bitcoin price is low now,So its best time

to buy bit coin

It's up to you. Somebody suggested that there will be a huge change in the bitcoin market value in the month of August. Apart from this, somebody saying that it is only the mouth publication, there is no such kind of variation in the bitcoin price. No guarantee about the information spreading in the market. My best suggestion is to wait for August 1 if either Bitcoin will have a positive or negative market.

Buy before 1st August is the great time for buy bitcoin. no one know what will happened after 1st august, its all about prediction. few peoples saying, the price of bitcoin will be 5000$ after segwit activated. few also saying it will be 1500$ worth of bitcoin. i am just going to hold my coin.

Divide it if you are in doubt.
Buy now and try to monitor what is going on with the bitcoin market.
If it still goes down then you can buy more at that time.
But I am sure it will still go up after that August 1. Bitcoin holders are just now making sure that they will not lose their investments that is why they are selling. But after that they will buy back and the price will gain the momentum again.

You can buy now in case you really have the funds but if you are like me with limited arsenals I would wait for some days and see how the market can behave. We have already breached the $2000 level but it can be hovering along this level for some time. Or it can behave erratically and can drop more into the $1700 and then $1500 resistance level.

One thing for sure, Bitcoin is a very unpredictable beast and volatility is its main trait. We have already witnessed this kind of movement before the only difference right now is that dark question about August 1 deadline.

Maybe you can buy some more when the value can be staying in the $1800 vicinity...that would be very safe and can be more profitable once the dust is already settled. When things would not be messy because of the scaling solution that can be implemented, I am sure that Bitcoin can be jumping by leaps and bounds.

Yes, it is time to buy some more Bitcoin...just analyze when it can be best to do so as we head towards the end of the month.

buy 1 month after August 1 if you want to be in the clear!
buy these days if you want to take the biggest risk but the most profit!

what I think is that there won't be any split. there will either be no fork or a smooth fork and that means the signaling will start soon and it will cause a small price rise but it will still fluctuate as the accumulation begins then as we get closer to Aug 1 and things get locked in, price will rise fast.

its hardest question possible to ask that noone know answer
we can guess only
i prefer safe approach, sell everything and wait what will happen, that why price dived, coz im not alone in this thinking

If we'd know what would be the price evolution, we would not be here anymore.
An idea would be to buy some now and some after August 1st to spread the risk.

You know, higher the risk, bigger the chance to gain, but also a big chance to lose.

I would definitely recommend buying now, since if after August the first Bitcoin doesn't go up back to 2500 or remains here, or even drops, I would be very worried about bitcoin's future. Right now it seems like the Bitcoin price is stabilizing and going back up, just 4 hours ago it was at 1950, and now it is rising back up to 2050. So yeah, if you have the funds I would definitely recommend buying a couple of Bitcoin now since it doesn't look like it will be this low ever again, or at least for a long time. Also after August, the first Bitcoin may be taking a trip to the room or totally flop, keep that in mind.

if the price is not yet reach $2,xxx then i think its still cheap price because we can have bitcoin before the price is jump. but if you have patience, you can wait a little bit to see the price is down. but i think more about this, its no matter if we buy now or after 1st august because if after we buy bitcoin, we don't have a plan to sell and only hold.

It sucks that i sold @1900 and now it is recovering near 2100.
Do you guys think it can go down to 1500

The issue is very crucial, which makes the price turbulent, but believe me bitcoin prices will go up anything that will happen, so I am now just focusing on increasing my bitcoin amount, I'm not too worried whether bitcoin will go up or down, do not get too tense, later Your mind will be inconsequential, focus on earning bitcoin

Buy now, that is before August 1. Earn profits later, that is after August 1. You have this entire July for buying. When August enters, hold them in a very safe place. After the parties have agreed about the final decision and the smoke clears down, the price will start to recover. It will be very fast. The line on the graph will be uphill.

There can be no guarantee either the value will keep dropping to what you stated or not. It depends on you anyway but my advise would be for you to buy some now, keep your fiat, if it comes down as you said, buy again and after August 1, if it comes down buy enough again. One thing I am sure is even if there is a deep, the value will still increase over time as the upgrade will solve some problems, hence there would be an increase in demand and as well, the value starts rising again and who knows how fast and far it would.

I think it's better to buy before august 1 since the bitcoin is dropping many are afraid and sell their bitcoin but I guess theres no need to panic instead it's a great opportunity for investment...buy bitcoin when it's low and sell when it's high...fluctuations occur but I believe by next year bitcoin will rise again

Bitcoin price is mostly influenced by fud and hype. If you are hearing more fud then the price will drop. You can't predict how low it will go but you should buy while there is lots of fud going around because if you start hearing hype it might be too late to buy.

i doubt it will go lower than $1500 in any case, so better to buy at worst in one week after another little dump or even now is not that bad to buy

around 1 august there is already a risk to be left behind in the case the market increase suddenly again by $500 or more, and this happened already in the past a few times

price still up now.
price still up now.

I just bought 2000$
I am waiting btc go to 5000$ next month


do not wait until 1 Aug.

be patient, it will drop very soon!

I did not agree. no reason that price will drop again?

1 August? just fake.

These times are when speculation is at the worse. The general atmosphere is people expect something, so the minute the price drops everyone sells. A few people buy when there's a minor uptrend, and everyone gets caught up in it and starts buying.

Past few days the graph has been swinging wildly, the expectation is for it to do so until August first week.

I suggest sell, stop looking at the numbers for the next weeks - mind some other business :) The reason is the market needs to stabilise - and 1800$ seems to be the right price, because that was the time when ether started to rise rapidly and took bitcoin with it. A lot value right now is just gas, and the volatility makes that obvious.

I doubt it will go 1500$, as you can see it touched 1800$ and it's back and it's rising already 2000$+, so don't really expect it to break the 1800$ mark, if it falls again buy In small quantities, so over a period of time you shall have a good average which will give you good returns over a period of time. However don't be dependent on the dump last time when it got dumped to 800$ and people expected it to dump further, it shot up to 2.5k in a very short while, so buy at every fall, you never know when it shoots up.

the more number of throwaway newbie accounts you guys create to repeat doomsday theories about bitcoin price, the more sure i become that the drop is near the end of its course and you guys are getting desperate for cheaper coins.

p.s. surprise surprise price has gone up ~$150 today...

Yes I also think like that, the prices have decreased very much in the last few weeks. I think if we buy bitcoin now it will be able to get profit when the price goes up even though the price is close to $ 2000 but I do not think it will be under $2000.

I think the price is more likely to drop considerably after the split because people will panic even more due to the uncertainty and I could see it falling quite drastically so I'd wait until then. It might be better waiting until a day or two before if you're going to buy pre-split though because I think even more will start to worry and panic leading up to it. Alternatively, you could hedge your bets and split it 50/50 for before and after or wait to see how the market reacts post-split.


lol. I wouldn't hold your breath for 5k next month, but if you've got a strong hand and can hold it long-term then that's more likely.

in my personal point of view , the split wouldn't happened. even though a lot of people have been discussed about how the probability of bitcoin split. considering a lot of factors , i think most bitcoin stakeholder wouldn't let this split happened in the end. and we hope so right? to buy it now while cheaps aren't a bad decision at all for me.

This is anybody's guess, if you are really hesitant you could maybe split and buy half of what you were going to now and then half after August then you won't have really lost out, there is so much talk about it splitting, not splitting it is going to be one of the most exciting times since I have been part of bitcoin.

Playing safe, I sell 70% of my btc, and wait and see after 1 august to buy again.

And the happens you think can't become true is happening in past days. The price of Bitcoin had crash to $1900 and still around in this price 3 hours. But then, the price recovery very fast to $2000. I guess in next time we still have a crash make the price falldown to $1500 or $1200

Buy before 1st august is a good time, but to buy now i think you're late because the price is on the rise. But i guess this will continue to increase, if you intend to buy it now i think there is no harm too. Good luck!

Most definitely buy before August 1 as we can see the prices are plummeting. Naturally, buy low sell high. This is a prime opportunity to buy, but you have to be fast.

In the past few hours, we have seen bitcoin's price rise from a 'low' 1800 USD to 2000 USD and rising.


Honestly, why would you like to do this? The price is already on an increase and will likely be for the coming few months. It will probably hit the 4000$ mark and maybe even extend all the way up to the 5000$ mark if we are lucky.

I completely agree with you, but I do not think that selling now is such a good idea. The bitcoin network cant just crash.... We will see it return to its normal operation after August 1.

I think it is better to buy bitcoin after august 1 because if we notice while august 1is approaching the price is also decreasing. However, if you are hesitating to buy but, you have enough funds then you could spend the half of it.

I do not know if bitcoin will go that far, but now prices are down and better to buy now. Or if you still expect lower prices you can wait a few more days, maybe it could reach $ 1,500. I think this is the best choice. Because if we buy after 1 August we will not know the price will rise or fall. If the price goes up you can hold it, and if the price still goes down you can buy some bitcoin again.

I have been quite accurate with my predictions when the previous FUD shows caused panic like this. { Halving & SEC approval or disapproval of

the Bitcoin ETF } I time my buying when there is a levelling out phase. A stage where the price stabilize for a while, before it goes up like crazy.

I make my biggest profits when I buy on the upswing... We have seen this during today... It stopped going down and it shows signs of a

recovery.  ;)

I don't think bitcoin could drop back to $1300-$1500 again, and I guess $1820 will be the lowest price of bitcoin at the moment, if you missed that chance then you should wait for another decrease.
Never spend all of your capital, divide into some amounts and buy 1-2 times before August 1st, and buy more than 2-3 times after August 1st whwther it will rise up or decline as bitcoin suppose to increase after segwit activated.

I think bitcoin can drop back to 1500, but for a very short period. It is still too unstable.

- No you are wrong with this, price might not go below $1500 anytime soon.
- Just buy whatever you can get below $2000
- You can buy whenever price will get below the above range but try to get it before hardfork so that you can get coins in both chain.

And I think that this growth is unstable and soon there will be a fall again. I can not say how much it will fall, but it will fall. And this will happen until September. Now people are very frightened by the split and therefore the price has lost stability

People are ignorant. Split will not happen. See the stats here https://coin.dance/blocks   Bitcoin will soon rise once people come to know whats going to happen. Spread good news about bitcoin and see the positive outcome of it in price and volume of bitcoins.

August will be a non event.
But (+3months) November (the  HF) is a different story, lets hope a consensus is reached before it happens.

As if anyone knows here how much will the bitcoin price goes down. If you feel it then go.

Waiting for $1,500 or $1,300 seems no different. If you have funds already then if the price will play at that level then do the buying. In buying bitcoin, we don't know if after we bought the price will increase after or will decrease that's why it's all about guts. Buy = Forget = Wait.

What is the possibility of split in November - how do you think?

This is just a discourse and unrealized, because i only hope bitcoin prices rise again to stabilize the economy of its users, and i think this is a realistic expectation for all bitcoin users

Spread your risk and put 50% before, 50% after.

Too late for anything already, price is going back up and nothing will stand in it's way until it hits $5000
Did you really think those big investors would let price crashes? I will curse anyone next time price going down to come here and talks about the end is near.
How about spreading legs, they could also result in something good don't you agree? good luck with buying coins lower than $3000 after the fork.

I think same regarding August 1st. Prices may dump before August 1st but after it, no chances of dumping further. In the last weeks of August, values of bitcoins will rise drastically and those who still hanging onto their coins will enjoy an epic ride to moon. It’s the time to show real patience and love for bitcoins. No need to panic and give up on bitcoins.

to me i think after August 1st no one will be able to buy bitcoin in such a low price. in yesterday the price of bitcoin as come the lower price of 1800$ but now it is gain trading above 2300$. and hope that soon after August 1st he price of bitcoin will start increasing and hope that this time it will reach  to 4000$ in next few week. so you need to bright the

As of now, the price of Bitcoin is picking up so your hopes about going as deep as 1300 or 1500 will stay a fantasy for now. If you want to buy some Bitcoins, I suggest you to buy on both sides which is before and after August 1. Buy some Bitcoin before august 1 because it is expected to go down especially on the last week of July. Buy some Bitcoins after August 1 so that if you can read the market nicely, you will see if it will drop or rise so before is rise up, buy.

I saw the market right now and i think many people are still selling their bitcoin and they don't know actually the use of segwit or this is still effect of panic sell. I heard that miners begin running the new segwit2x software that actually is one of the reason i think are buying more bitcoin and before the price increase they are buying at the cheap price..
So if you are thinking that the price of bitcoin will touch in $1500 its impossible right now because they know what will be the use of segwit and how can help bitcoin to improve its performance.

I would buy as early as possible and hodl so you get 2 coins in case of split.

And how this can happen? If today to buy before the final period, then clearly this is correct, because the revenue in the future will be huge.

Agree with skorupi17, this is good strategy with status at now on market, the price are control by mentality of trader and very easy have panic or memes. Buying before deathline and after it will helps you can have opportunity take profit 2-way

Hey, you can double and triple dip before that.... I started buying again at $1990 and I sold again at $2280. I took the profits and started buying

again at $2300. {nice round number} I hope this is going to reach $2500 to $2700 before the 1st of August, because I want to sell quickly to

profit again. If we miss that and everything goes wild after the 1st of August, I will just rinse and repeat again.  ;D

If you want to bet then now is the right time. But for those of you who want to play it safe then waiting is the best thing, we have to make sure what will happen on the 1st of August. Once everything is passed then we can calmly take decisions. I'm sure we all must be experiencing a sense of stress right now. Looking at the bitcoin prices that declined rapidly yesterday and now it is starting to rise again with the positive.

Price can crash once again in coming days so it would be a right choice to wait and see how price behaves in coming days as everyone is predicting that price will go down in August and if it does than that would be the perfect time to buy bitcoins.

I really agree with you, buy this time and buy again later after 1st of august. Because some traders see prices going up then they will buy :) more and more buyers are very good for us to attract big investors.But I think the end of this month the market will be empty of transactions, if everyone put the altcoin crypto and their money in the wallet .

Im buying a little bit every day now now on the daily dips. I dont think we will see it much cheaper than this if everything goes as it should from now on. For those who are informed, if the days following July 21 goes as planned price will go up a bit over 2500 (it was up to 2385 just 6 hours ago). Most people does not know about July 21 and only about August 1st and therefore, the big pump or dump will happen on that date and the days following. Whatever happens I think it will go fast in either direction.

This time would be the nicest time to buy if you missed those days when bitcoin has dropped so hard since the current price is still cheap and maybe on the next following days on august or on its next month we can see major pump happening. And so this not to missed the profit we should grab some btc now and stake for long term.

thats right,Buy some stocks other than btc Now it's great. I also noticed a few days ago in all their markets the price dropped very quickly, everyone panicked selling syndrome ,I think other stocks will raise prices for the coming months.now the prices are back to normal. :)

Well, if you are going to buy bitcoins, then you can do it before august 1 because it was expected that the value will go down and hold the bitcoin because this coming months the bitcoins value will increase . Well, it happens all the time, sometimes up and down :D So no matter what we say here, still your decision will be done :D

Couple days ago price was under 2000$, that was good opportunity for buying bitcoins. Looks now we are going back on 2500$, and I noticed couple threads here on forum how Chinese are buying like crazy and that is very posoble fornprice to get to 3000$ very soon. I'm saying that cause I'm not so sure that waiting is a good option at the moment, I know that with bitcoin anything can happen, price can go down to 1500$ or up to 3000$ in a day and faster, that would be nothing new for bitcoin price.
If you have money buy when you think it's bottom, my opinion is that 1800$ in one shirt moment was a bottom and now bitcoin price will rise.

Aren't you guys putting a little bit too much thought into this August 1st thing. The price is going to slightly drop a 4 and it's going to slightly rise after it's not the end of the world and it's not the coming of the next apocalypse. It's simply a change in the software it's just a little bit of a fork I think you guys can handle it without freaking out every 5 Seconds.

You already miss the chance to buy bitcoin when the lrice is at 1800$ per bitcoin and if you already buy it and hild maybe you already earn around 400$ now see the difference but wait for it until august one again.

The recent price drop was mostly caused by panic. I personally think we might see another dip but the price will go up afterwards. As others said, buying coins below $2k was a great chance.

Panic, manipulation, FUD, speculation, pragmatic calculations... a little bit of them all. It's a great period for the ones that know how to earn from volatility and are not afraid to lose a little now and then. I fear that more than one dip may happen. These ups and downs make some people rich.
I hope I'm wrong, I hope it will go just upwards, but I fear that we want too much and know too little about speculation.

You can buy and store in a safe before August first and read the market reaction after the segwit. As far your coins are safe and you are sure of its safety.
If its me, That's what I'll do.

I suggest buy bitcoin before august 1 and after . Because the price as of now is good and we dont know what will happen in august 1 and buy after august 1 so to prevent losing your money. Bitcoin for sure will increase more after august 1 and we will see the good price and high price.
