Bitcoin Forum

Am I the only one who is under the impression that the price of bitcoin will plummet before day 1 or soon after?
This bitcoin fall to 2400 and the climb up to where it is now get me the impression that the whales are piling up to dump everything before day one.

Also I'm seeing a lot of people wanting to save the bitcoin for the first day thinking that Bitcoin Cash will be worth the same as the bitcoin or that at least they will make good money with it. They are not even realizing how this will devalue bitcoin.

Segwit is locked in, that's what you need to consider. Segwit is inherently bullish except for the conspiracy theorists that claim Segwit is a mistake and could create a DAO type situation within bitcoin because of the transaction format. I think this is exaggerated FUD.

Once we clear out the BCC nonsense, the price will go up. If you buy before August 1st, you will have both BTC and BCC, so you can always dump BCC for free BTC and in case BTC price goes down against the dollar, you still get more BTC. Consider that.

No I don't think like that.

We are close to that "before day 1" thing but look at the price. If it will goes down straight then it must be happened now or the price decrease recently should not climb up more. Meaning there are lots of buyers anticipating the price increase after August 1st.

P.S I don't see any hype activity of BCC.

Will plummet? Before maybe but after August 1st I don't think so. Split or not , I don't think it can devalue much the price of bitcoin. Remember the classmate fork of this BCC? No one succeeded and Im sure the same scenario will happened to BCC.

Majority of bitcoin users will dump if they anticipate that the price will goes down more. We only have few days to go before August 1st but still price is incredibly getting support at $2500 above.

The price remains at an altitude for several reasons. One of them is the fact of the split transfer to November. People calmed down and decided to buy bitcoin again. I think that we should not give in to panic and behave as if on August 1 nothing will happen. Probably so it will be

Bitcoin Cash or BCC is a lame duck and its not going to happen, a lot of exchanges are saying that they don't plan on using it and it seems that it's going to be worthless anytime soon. I will hold on buying any bitcoins for a while and see what happens after the August 1.

I do not even have the courage to buy Bitcoin. Although I believe Bitcoin a lot. Many of my friends have made a lot of money by investing in Bitcoin. So I am thinking that I will buy Bitcoin in the future.

Yeah if it would go straight down it should be happening right now as we are being close to the given date,
But the price is still going up and I really think that the value of bitcoin would get higher after the event is done.

I wouldn't buy now if it required loading funds to an exchange.  It all seems a bit fuzzy how they are going to handle things, and your funds could still be in flight in the early August time frame.

If I already had fiat on an exchange, I wouldn't hesitate to buy some BTC (before Aug 1) and move them to safety in a hardware or paper wallet.

I'm not sure about the split and price of BTC/BCC after 1st August. Some are saying both will have the same price but it's still not assured and plus if you buy coins now, it's only preferred to store it in an offline wallet rather than online ones. The price of Bitcoin should increase and not fall below Bitcoin Cash as the later being new, I don't see its price being worth the same. Dumping now won't do any good as well as buying. Worst case scenario was when btc dropped to 1800 but that time is already over.

Bitcoin price is starting to rise at a very fast pace now, I guess the fork was the main reason that everyone is jumping into the market to purchase more bitcoins at the moment, as every users that holds their own private key for their bitcoin wallet would get free Bitcoin Cash after the fork completed, maybe a lot of users sees this as an opportunity to get free money  :)

Do not you think the whales are not waiting for this moment to trigger a dump and to win over it by buying low?

I think you can even neglect the BCC bullsh*t. What really matters is 'will Segwit activate?'. Because miners can signal what they want, but if for example F2Pool stops signaling during the signal period there will be no Segwit at the end of August, as they need 95%.

Keep in mind how reliable miners are.

Once Segwit IS activated, that's when the real party starts imho.

i think it is right that most of the big whales will be waiting for the time when the price of bitcoin will fell down and they will get a chance to buy bitcoin in a low price i think they must be waiting for the right time but i think that the price of bitcoin is not going to dump any more and hope that it will stay above 2500$ even on 1st August. i think need to hold bitcoin and not to sell it in panic time.

If you can afford it buy if not just go away.simple

Well, I am hodling some of my Bitcoin assets and some I have transfered to ETH. I hope that the price of ETH won't plummet after August 1. cause it would definitely be bad for my portfolio.

The Bitcoin Cash group might underestimate the support that they are going to get from Bitcoin users. You will have to be

blind, not to see that. People have underestimated Bitcoin users before {Example : Mike Hearn} and they got burned. I think

people will once again be surprised how many people will still support Bitcoin Core {Legacy Coin}  ::)

I think it s much smarter to buy alts ATM cause the alt market s been in red for over a month. This will not stay like this once BTC SegWit story gets finished and BCC bullshit alt gets dumped into oblivion.

you're right to be cautious. there's all types of directions for market and mining craziness.

dollar cost average every week instead which is what people should be doing anyway.

No, you are not the only one. What i think right now is that the whales are stocking up bitcoins and  will dump it right after aug 1 along with their BitcoinCash (BCC).
Don't think BCC will have the same value as bitcoin. Eventually everyone will dump BCC to try and make some quick cash.

Did you see what happened now in the $ 2727 ???
They looked like two whales fighting and the one that was trying to overthrow Bitcoin lost.

I wouldn't have the guts to do something like this right now either, so don't think you're a bad person or something. I'd rather avoid all of the issues with Bitcoin when it comes to the network and solutions (Bitcoin Cash Aug 1st) and just see what this looks like in a month or so.

I'm not going to stop earning Bitcoins, and I'm going to be doing the same thing I've always done with Bitcoin in which I've earned -- which is going to be simply taking in the BTC and selling it on coin base with one of those instant sell addresses.

Don't think you're not part of this if you're not buying right now, I'm going to assume that tons of whales are thinking the same thing as you right now.

Im pretty sure it IS going to happen, unless somehow they back down, but the main point is, it does NOT matter if they hardfork. Anybody can hardfork at any time, everyone is free to fork BTC into their own alt and call it whatever they want, the difference is if they will get enough hashrate, and enough market support, which I doubt. All whales will dump their BCC for more BTC. This is the final act of faith in the coin. And I doubt that Roger Ver will dump all their BTC for BCC.

I guess you're not the only one felt that way.

I also thought that, now, is world war 3 (in bitcoin) and very risky buying now.
We don't know what's the result. And yes, lots of people thinking that they might get BCC after aug 1st.

Well, especially with the amount of FUD on this forum alone with click bait titles like "Segwit will kill bitcoin or "Bitcoin will die to segwit" it certainly is no surprise that people are expecting a price drop before August. Now that it is August, I can confirm that this hasn't happened. Bitcoin will mostly likely not split at all and August the first will have no impact on bitcoin.

Don't listen to FUD people, one of the reasons why bitcoin dropped to 2k a couple weeks back was due to the amount of fud that was being spread.

Same here !  well absolutely many people are sharing the same feeling just like you do , Me myself also hold to buy some bitcoins stating the fact that hard fork will probably begin after 3 days , I suggest if you don't have that big risk appetite don't buy for now until we confirm that bitcoin was already stable and we can already  do a safe transaction  .

Are you guys really considering to send your Bitcoins to other exchanges in hopes of receiving some BCC? imagine if they take the coins and run with millions of Bitcoins, what would you do then? Bitcoin will always be and remains Bitcoin, hard fork or not the longest chain is the real coin. buying or not buying doesn't change the fact that Bitcoin will grow over time, not to mention the next halving.

Meh, I just bought a small amount.  It's money I can afford to lose, so I'm not going to cry about it if bitcoin tanks post-split.

I'll be watching with bated breath to see what's going to transpire come Aug 1st.  I'm still a bit fuzzy about what's going to happen with my Mycelium wallet and the btc I have in there.  Should have taken computer science in college!

But I'm bullish on bitcoin and I know a lot of other folks are, too.  So I'm not worried, and I had at least some guts to buy BTC.  We'll see what happens.

Just think about the game theory involved in miners backing out. We have 100% of miners signaling for BIP91-BIP141, the thought of them backing out would be devastating for them. The community would hate them for life, only the /r/btc nutjobs would think the miners are heroes, the rest of the community will hate them and their reputation is pretty much at all time lows perpetually.

Let them do something stupid and just watch the consequences.

Hmm I know the feeling.I'm always there too. If you are more of a medium to long term holder, you can look for a relatively low point to buy and keep or even convert back to Fiat when you feel the price is overbought and you can again buy back at cheaper price with more amount of Fiat to get more BTC.

When BTC was $600 to $800, I was always afraid to buy bcoz I always thought the price was too high, now see where the price is. I always wished I bought more then.

Anyways its never too late as I know Bitcoin will always scale through the hustles no matter how much FUD.. >:(

If you are afraid of this August 1 date, causing you not to go on and buy bitcoin, better think of the more distant future. In a year from now, your bitcoin will more than double. All right? So your gut feeling is to short term. Try to stretch you horizon and look at the 6-figure price of bitcoin. Amazing, isn't it?

I would sit this one out for a few weeks....just in case something funny happens and you send BTC to BCC or something inadvertent happens......that can not be recovered.


yeah sure quick profit but risk is you loose all your BTC....if there is a bug in client.

Well, when investing to Bitcoin, the patience is a factor important need have. Special with trader type holding long term, they always have a look in long time about the value and growth of Bitcoin in future.

The fear is real i believe because no one knows that what is going to happen with the price of bitcoin on august 1. However i still hope that if the price falls it will not fall below $2000 because the price is still above $2800, so it seems that the market is somehow nearly stable.

You correct mate, there's nothing really to be afraid of this date. Just continue what we had accustomed to do in our daily routine. If we do trade daily, just continue to do so and others. If you can buy bitcoin and had capital/money do buy bitcoin.

I have also saved bitcoin, I think BCC will hit a good value. It is also a real coin, and it has the same power as BTC. The turn is creating two twins.

I have bought enough coins at the peak of the panic to fill my stomach with cheap coins, so now I just need to wait it out. Most of the exchanges will be closed over the next week, so we will not see the real impact of this until trade volumes pick up. I predict that it will be slow for the next 3 weeks and then it will go ballistic. ^smile^

The next 6 days will determine, if I made the right decisions at the right times.

If you have extra free funds, go and buy it, if you are a good trader you will know what to do. After all this panic about August 1st will be over the price of bitocin will go up again. I'm prety convinced that it will hit 3000$ soon so don't be afraid that you will lose the money. And don't waist your time on BCC it will be worthless.

Although a bit of speculative action but it seems to be generating big profits at the end of this August, and I will try to do the same even a little late.
Because I have confidence after the end of this month there will be a rise in bitcoin prices and certainly followed by other altcoin price increases.

Well, yes. I would advise you to be cautious at this time of the year with August 1 tomorrow. I do not think that you can even trade anymore, but I may be incorrect (don't quote me).
However, with all this panic, it may actually be smart to invest into Bitcoin as the price will most likely increase afterwards. But, no one can predict the future, we can only make assumptions. If you hány invested, the next few days will decide if it was a smart decision in the end.

Let's just wait for another week, meanwhile we should stay away from the coin exchanges and buying of it. It is already turned off by many wallets so no question about it. The current data is really insufficient to imagine anything about the situation.

Bitcoin prices for now is on the move towards upward trend. There is 1st Aug coming in few hours and what will happen to it is like wait and watch out. If we have BCC then it will be a huge drop in bitcoin prices and might be other altcoin may become more powerful in this comparison.

There are some who still consider bitcoin as very low so they still buy bitcoin despite the August 1 event that's coming in a few hours, and though some are scared of the BCC you still have an option to dump them after once bitcoin will split. I would still choose bitcoin over bcc anyways.

Yes lets all wait for August 1 to be finished at lets observe the market for a week and lets see what will happen after all the drama. Everything will be okay no need to panic traders.

We have many imagination about tomorrow Bitcoin. Let's wait and see what will happen I also don't have guts to buy Bitcoin now because my expectation went wrong. I thought last week the price of the Bitcoin would go down, and I can buy some coins, but it did not happen the price was stable around $2700 and something. So I think my after August 1st expectations also may go wrong. I don't do any transaction now I just take off few days and just watch what will happen.

Agree with you, because the price is still high because there are some factors with the reason for the move or separation until november, and I think only a few people decide the calm to buy bitcoin again only we do not give up on the panic on August 1

For the meantime there is a need to observe this august what will gonna happen. Its hard to speculate the price if may go down dip or stable at the high price. So the best thing to do is to wait because buying is not advisable for now.

But it seems to me, even if it drops to 2,400, then it will grow 5 or even 6 times more. Or even more. Although with another sorona it seems to me that bitcoin started to grow due to the fact that the BTC-e

I don't know what's your reason why you don't have the courage to buy bitcoin, even you saw it already by your friends that they made a lot of money by investing it. Still you had a doubt in bitcoin, whether you accept it or not. Well, I respect your decision, since your going to buy bitcoin in the future I guess you won't regret on your decision when that times come.

I myself do not have the guts also to buy Bitcoin right now also. And aside from that, I also still do not have the means to buy Bitcoins or other big investment instrument. I am just a fresh graduate who is starting just a career and I am just starting to save money. And for me, and a lot will agree, that investing will always have a risk. And the worst case scenario is loosing all the money. With that, I can not risk of investing all of my savings because I will be needing it for emergency. My way of investing is, I will only invest the amount that I am willing to loose.

i think going into such investments, you need guts, and not only guts you need to equip yourself with knowledge. If you don't have money to buy bitcoin right now, it is right for you to be in this forum, to understand further how can you earn bitcoins and profit from it. instead of just buying bitcoins, think of ways on how you can earn bitcoins, you can mine, go to exchanges and exchange goods and/or services for bitcoin. I also taught this way to my fellow employees who would like to have bitcoins as an investment. however if you do not have a job right now, what you can do is to go look for a job first, then every payday, you can do cost averaging, wherein you buy bitcoins in a timely manner, like every end of the month. however if you do have the money right now and are afraid to buy bitcoins, think of this logic, you are buying gold that in time the value increases, however physical gold has already been surpassed by bitcoin, which considered gold 2.0, so if you buy even a fraction you can still gain profits from capital gains, but if you are afraid because you see that the price is too high, do not worry, since bitcoin's price is still not at its peak, you can still gains in the next few years, so do not worry too much that you will not be able to gain from your investment. remember there are risk factors in all investment even the very conservative type.

I do think to invest in anything you need guts and knowledge about it's market.Well now bitcoin's value is increasing like anything so buying bitcoins would not be good idea.Best time to buy bitcoins is when their value has fallen and then just believe in bitcoin and hold them.Holding bitcoins is the best investment as their price keeps on increasing  at good rate as starting of this year it's price was around $900 and now it's around $4600.Investment in Bitcoin is long term investment if invested at right time and rate it would be quite profitable.

Lol, any time in the past you probably don't have guts either. 2 years later when you look back, you would scratch your head why the bitcoin price is so low now  ;D

Yes, it is impossible to target any particular price to buy any investments. If one wants to invest in Bitcoin then don't look at its current price and stop it by thinking it may come down instead start buying immediately with a smaller quantity on a regular basis then you will get a good average price over the time. If you wait for prices to correct then one may not get a chance to buy at all.

Yes, I totally agree with this. With the price of bitcoin now, I don't have any guts either to buy. I will wait when the price drops so when it will soar again, I would have a good profit from it. I also would like to hold it long term for my long term plans. Buy low, Sell high. That's the key.

Its not about the guts but the price is too high for just ordinary traders. But for a individual who have lots of money, then they have the guts to invest eventhough the price is too steep for us. But if you have really the guts to put money in the market about a few months ago, then it have paid of by now.

Its seems to be that in trading or investing, you should be at a risk taker because we may never really know what it will bring out in the future. In this case, your guts in buying bitcoin before have been paying big time today. That is, if you have taken the risk.

In my opinion, I think that bitcoin is one of the best investments at the moment, since you might end up benefitting so much from your investment. However, I wouldn't recommend that you consider buying bitcoin at the current moment.  Earlier this morning, I saw this other thread here on the forum, it said that bitcoin reached new all time high of $4800 for the first time, although the current its $4600. This indicates that there is too much risk involved in bitcoin investments at the moment. Rather wait for the crash, and buy it.

You have missed  quite a great opertunity. Could have been got a lot of profit If you have invested.

You are scared to buy bitcoin when it was $2,400 in value and now it is almost double in value after more than 1 month you posted it with Bitcoin's value of $4,710. If you just believe with Bitcoin's potential growth then you already have benefited from it buy you doubt it instead. Even though the price today is high it will still go higher for the next years, so buy now as long as you can so you don't regret later again.

I am hoping that by this time you have already learned the many good lessons with Bitcoin. When you let fear took over your better mind and you let go of the opportunity to buy Bitcoin, then I am sure you are now partly regretting because eventually Bitcoin bounced back and is now at the $4,700 level and can soon be breaching the $5,000 wall.

I am saying this because I too became a victim of my own analysis (a limp one) and forego so many opportunities to buy Bitcoin at a better rate...only to find out that Bitcoin surged ahead in value after...I could have earned a good amount of money with those transactions.

The time to buy Bitcoin is now...even if the value can retreat or correct itself it will be back surging with more energy and vigor. This is how Bitcoin has been behaving for the past many months and it can be its natural self for many more months to come.

The price of bitcoin now is way ahead comapre to its price before. So for other people's it is a hard thing to do to buy bitcoin because it is expensive for now. But instead of buying bitcoin people can still finds ways to earn it as a part of signature camapagin or investments and trading that could give them profit out of their bitcoin.

Yea, Price of bitcoins in the future will be more expensive than right now, even  Gold Losing Safe Haven Status Due to Cryptocurrencies, Monetary Policy, all of us can check here https://cointelegraph.com/news/gold-losing-safe-haven-status-due-to-cryptocurrencies-monetary-policy ,it is mean bitcoins can take over the gold as place to store value of funds, protect us from inflation and economy crisis in the future.

There is a way far difference between the price of bitcoin now and the time this was posted. If you will not buy bitcoin now, you'll regret it. For sure bitcoin will pump again. So its wise if you buy now. Or if you really dont want to you can join campaigns and other btc generating job.

You do not have BALLS to buy BTC now? Well, grow some. My guts tell me we re going to see $5.5K before the end of this year!

When I rad OP's initial post, I wasn't looking at the date and thought "wtf?", is Bitcoin really overvalued? Then I saw that 1st of August was meant.  :D

But of course the price can fall every time. I think that most Bitcoiners see this as a opportunity to buy more coins at a cheaper price and that will make the price rise again.

Bitcoin's price is changing too fast so I'm guessing $7k before year end. Just pure hunch with no basis ;D

so far no one has a definite prediction about bitcoin prices, but it looks like a positive trend for bitcoin prices has continued to increase until the end of the year. And now still have the opportunity to buy bitcoin as a long-term investment of course.

Yes, there are some issues on which we need to work simultaneously but that doesn't make it useless. If one can not afford to buy a whole Bitcoin then he can even buy it in a smaller denomination, I can understand that psychologically it might feel that 0.1 is too low but while talking about value, it is not less than $460 so do not worry about it. If you are sceptical about the current issues then don't forget that we have dealt with many issues till now and growing further.

It is funny how things now eventually turned out. OP made this statement in July and now we have bitcoin at almost $4800. What I just want to point out is that at any point you want to buy bitcoin, just do it. Predicting never helps! I believe bitcoin has gone beyond being threatened by bitcoincash. Few months ago, some said the price to buy was too high when it was still hovering around 1,900 - 2,300. So what happens now? They had rather still wait for the value to come down a bit? Of you have the cash, buy whenever you want to buy cause at this stage, any price you purchase will still pay you in the future.

Looks like I am more idiot than you... :p
I didn't take a notice of date and would have never discovered the secret if your comment wasn't here. In my opinion, dip is basically a glorious opportunity to gather more BTCs and this is how I look at it..
By the way, are you Satoshi's younger brother or so? If you know what I mean... :p

Bitcoin's price is always fluctuating and right now bitcoin's price is down on candle chart one hour https://cryptowat.ch/kraken/btcusd/1h
It will be increasing again and more expensive than today, in my personal opinions it will be at least $5000/BTC,
buy bitcoins right now is cheap than couples months later especially after Dev team of bitcoins fix the activation of segwit2x on bitcoins network and lighting network.

Bitcoin price is increasing very high and if it continues in this trend,$7000 price before this year end seems quite possible.After segwit gets completely locked in,bitcoin price would start increasing more.So,this may be a last chance to buy bitcoin below $5000 just like $1850 was the last chance of buying before august 1.Just before that,we have to face the issue of some miners trying to activate segwit 2x.If its successfully solved,then mission to the moon will be activated successfully.

When you decide to buy and sell should entirely depend on the investor's opinion and analysis, if you don't trust that bitcoin is going to exceed the current value of aound $4,000 and continue rising, either on long or short term, it's better not to invest and risk regretting your decision to invest money into bitcoin at this time, Of course, the price can continue rising, but I believe the decision should be entirely based on your opinion, not external factors.

Of course the choice of investing into something even Bitcoin is his own decision. Whether or not the OP knows how to trade Bitcoins and invest in Bitcoins is a whole different thing. People can put money into something and call it an investment though when they cash their money out and complain that they lost money on that investment it's probably because they got out at the wrong time.
Investing in Bitcoin should be used with a basic understanding of how to invest in things. It's better to purchase Bitcoin and forget about it for a while because the price is increasing.

Yes it's true even I am not having guts to buy bitcoin because the price of bitcoin is high and my earning less . If I would have good savings o could have invest in bitcoin without fear but I can't take risk with my livelihood money.

I have a little bit of bitcoin cash and I still didn't decide what to do with that, probably the best decision would be to start to play trading with it. I think nobody expect that bitcoin will reach 5000$ point so fast, especially after the fall under 2000$ before the 1st of August, but it's happened.  That was my check point to sell some bitcoins, but now I'm really not sure, maybe 6000$ will happen very soon as well?! But the thing I know is that today is not the time to buy bitcoin, but the time to hold bitcoin!

Yes, it is understandable that people are quite scared to buy Bitcoin at ATH. Maybe it's better to invest in altcoins right now and then convert them to Bitcoin if the price will grow.

Just do it ! Don't think about it. You may come short at first and "lose" money. 💰 but later on it will certainly pick up. Just look around you, on this forum are so many people that believe. Anything worth doing in life has high risk. Just have some faith and belief. Don't give up. We all get anxious vutonf and selling Bitcoin. You always could have made more then you did because you sold or bought at the wrong time. It's impossible to get full profits there will always be space but as long as you making more then you losing it's all good.

Bitcoin cash is profitable as heck for miners because it's easier to mine and bitmain is continuing it's support for bitcoin cash or BCC.  Another thing that I came across is that antpool has this thing for miners which allows miners to shift between bitcoin and bitcoin cash, which will fetch maximum profit for miners. This is why people are trying to convince bitcoiners to use bitcoin cash instead of bitcoin .

If you don't have guts to buy bitcoin now then trust me, it is a good time to buy bitcoin now because the price of bitcoin just experienced a dip in the price and if you are going to buy and keep it for long term then you can earn more money because bitcoin might not be the best investment for short term but it is the best for long term investment and you don't need to always monitor the chart because long term is the key to have a great income in bitcoin.

Bitcoin is all about the trust and the speculation made based on the market.circulation. This makes it more of a trust driven asset rather than a commodity based asset. An real understanding is a must to keep hold of bitcoin as well buy bitcoin to benefit through it unlike the price increase which is not affordable for common men as a whole.

While a lot of people are taking profits on BTC reaching 5000, it gives us all a buying opportunity. I think that BTC will go back to 5k, and experiencing a sell-off for quite a few more cycles until we break through that psychological barrier. The more times we hit 5000, the more likely we are to break through it and continue to our new goal of 10k.

Yes truly it is a blessing that it reach that high.  Though I also have no guts to buy bitcoin because its price is really high and I was afraid that it might go down so I will jist earn bitcoin.  I will keep on earning as long as I can because there were easy ways.

yes the price of bitcoin is now getting out of the range of the people. in fact the price of bitcoin is increasing from time to time and now it is already trading above 4500$, still continue to increase more and more. i think that bitcoin price will continue for along time so we should try to do arrangement for buying bitcoin and do not let the chance of earning money to go.

Indeed, if you can earn Bitcoin from your job, you will not want buy Bitcoin with current price. That is bad idea because we do not know if buy Bitcoin and hold it til the price of it reach to new all time high price, we still have profit from buy Bitcoin.

If anyone is worried about buying bitcoin too expensive they could just spread out their purchases significantly.

Since the overall trend is upwards this is by the odds more likely to be more expensive but you significantly reduce the risk that you happen to buy at a peak price.

but to me i think it is still good time to buy bitcoin in current price, because the price of bitcoin has still a very good potential and its price will continue increasing for a long time. i think that those people who will invest money in bitcoin right now they are more expected to get a good return as the price of bitcoin is currently trading below 4200$ and that is is the right time to invest in bitcoin.

Why not if you can afford to have atleast 1btc. Now that it is almost 5,000usd and expected to reach @10,000usd. If that happens it will bring much profit for every investors.

Just invest what you can lose, big chance btc will go higher eventually . You have to take some risk tot make money.

I always buying many bitcoins because I know I will gain a lot of profits in the futute. I can that bitcoin investmest is really effective to make money. Holding bitcoin is really important.

I agree that price is too high for majority of us and not all will be willing to take risk of investing at such an high price but even if you invest you will never get negative results in future as price will go higher in coming months so if you buy now you still can make good profits.

It was in July and the OP didn't have the guts :D what about now with this current pumped price almost reached $5000 now it really needs some guts to buy, I don't have them myself but I wish that I could buy a few bitcoins when it was still under $3000 now I'm not sure how long it takes to go back to sub $3000 again.

For me also! I don't have a guts to buy bitcoin because it is too high for me, I just did is joining bounty campaign here and earn bitcoin without investing any cents from my pocket.

This is the situation with most of the people around us as bitcoin value is 4500$ and this is not a small amount. This is not the question about guts but more importantly the question of spare money in hand to be able to convert it in Bitcoins.

Price has kept to the rate of $4.6k+ lately, so I think that’s  one of the reasons that’s  keeping people from investing into bitcoin. But,  I don’t think that should be a problem. We still have more than 30 days before the segwit on November; more than 30 days.

Buying Bitcoins might be freaking as the price is quite high, or nearly record high. But you know what, it will go even further, more is there to happen, so if you can buy, just do it. But you mindset shall be such, that if the value drops you won't freak or be sad, or else it will continue to freak and disturb your mind. Just buy small amounts, if you have too fear, any percentage or amount of profit is a profit, either be it low or high.

There is no assurance that BTC would hold up and still be valuable in the continuing days, however with the trend of technology and other things BTC has held up very strong against conflicts and other factors that might lead to its downfall. It has dipped up and down and has trended towards a collapse but always it has gone up and that is why it is favored to last long as it is still here and considered to be the most reliable in cryptocurrency.

Many people have become rich because of bitcoin. Why do you not invest? You just need to invest and wait a few years. I promise you will double or earn more money than you have invested. So no worry's

Only buy with what you can afford to lose! And keep buying a little bit every month... dont go all in at once! And dont give up on buying, you're gonna be kicking yourself in the future.

I won't deny this fact that bitcoins have really grown in cost. 4300 dollars is a huge amount and most of the people cannot buy it at the moment due to this much high price. But what I like about bitcoins is that we can earn it without investing a single penny from our pockets.

I think even if those people who have money with them to buy bitcoin now, may think twice of buying it at such a high price. There are number of factors for this , the most important being that they think bitcoin may have reach its peak and it may go down in value in near future.

I think this topic is disgusting. What do you mean by guts? Just say that do not have the financial position to buy more bitcoin on this piece. Yes it is true that I have no money to buy anymore bitcoin on 5000 US dollars.

It is not possible for me, and if I had this money, I will also think so many times to buy or not. Because the price is about 5000 dollars and it may not increase anymore. Then why should I buy and take risk.

You will regret it, bro. Bitcoin is backed by huge investors. How can it plummet when the people investing in bitcoin is growing everyday by the thousand? The demand will tell you that its value will increase. That is a basic law in economics. Bitcoin's price will for sure hit 7,000 dollars this year.

If you think in Satoshis rather than whole coins, it can help reframe the affordability issue.

38 million millionaires and 16.5 million BTC.  Surely that alone is enough to fire up the spreadsheet and noodle a little bit?

I think you have written this post before the Segwit came in to action. A lot of people like you were also confused about the future of bitcoin that time. However, I am sure, that you have got your answers by now seeing the current price of bitcoin.

BCH is also doing good, but couldn't touch bitcoin in any way. Neither in pricing, nor in market cap. SO if you are planning to buy bitcoin, don't wait because the currency price is not at the optimum high level. A lot of potential left to go even higher. Every day delayed is opportunity lost. God ahead and buy!

Well done OP, this is one of that threads that will become a meme in some years, like the one complaining about the btc's price when it was some dollars/btc :D

I am also expecting a dump on btc due to high resistance to the level around 2400-2500 this is very important, waiting to see these levels

Currently a lot of countries are considering regulating cryptocurrencies, leading to a big price variation for the bitcoin and the other altcoins.
If you want to speculate and earn money quickly (but risks are not negligible), you can take advantage of the current situation to buy when the price is low, sell when it surges.

control of bitcoin prices is done by ourselves, the more bitcoin purchases will help for bitcoin prices remain high, and this will always be reflected in every month, bitcoin users are always increasing in every month even in every week, this will make bitcoin stay superior.

Haven't you guys forget the price correction? When the price correction occur this will affect the fluctuation of the price and also to sellers/buyers. Whales also can affect the price changes of they starts to move. Everything can affect the fluctuation of the price.

Op had you dared to buy it you would have loved the boom, wonder how much would he have regretted his decision not to buy it, I had recommended so many people to buy and some did and they thank me even today and those skeptical one's who didn't buy it are regretting today, they do message me that looks it falling thanks to Chinese and I yet laugh knowing it shall soon boom to higher Heights.

Segwit is already done and the fork succeed. After the fork, approximately 21 days after the fork, Bitcoin reached the 4000 dollar mark which means those who hesitated to invest into Bitcoin before the segwit missed the oppurtunity of making profit out of the risk in the segwit. And now that it was already issued that there'll be another hardfork to happen in the month of November, investors that doubts and hesitates should think twice on whether to invest before the fork or after the fork.

If people don't know what bitcoin capable is they will not invest in bitcoin. They have a lot questions that you need to be answered first, or they will do a self-study about bitcoin. Me too, I tell to my friends to buy bitcoins but they are ignored me. Then afterwards they regretted seeing the price of bitcoin to $4300 :D

I think that if you do believe at bitcoin you won't be scared to buy some bitcoin even if the price plummetted. Bitcoin is set to reach $8000 by this year according to experts that's why I don't lose confidence on it. Even some investors think that this is even a discount to buy bitcoin so I really don't worry.

Sounds logical but bitcoincash seems here to stay and for good, it's still fighting for the top spot I sold all my bitcoincash because I believe it will be gone in a month or two but not likely to happen although I wish it would.

I agree.  You will definitely regret that you are unable to buy or invest in bitcoin right now.  Bitcoin price is cheaper to think that its price will become more expensive considering that continuous hike of its price.

I don't have it for now . Because i don't have enough money to buy a bitcoin and knowledge to invest on it.  :)

It's not that difficult to stay in the crypto world as shitcoin - even coins with far less overall support managed to survive, so in this case, Bitcoin Cash will stay as well.

Bitcoin Cash isn't anything special. If we look at various other alts, they make Bitcoin Cash look like an obsolete piece of trash. Seriously, why would anyone prefer something such as BCC over LTC, XMR, DASH, ETH? It doesn't make any sense. Bitcoin Cash is nothing more than a get rich quick tool, and thus far it worked out pretty well for the large holders. It's impossible for this coin to remain a value of over 0.1BTC with that many people still not having dumped their BCC's. Ultimately, this coin should have no value greater than 0.01BTC.

If bearish trend just is short term, I still buy Bitcoin because it will comeback, correction of the price is normal with Bitcoin. However, the risk when buy back Bitcoin always high, maybe it will continue bearish trend by panic seller.
