Is anyone else surprised by this? I expected it to go down with all the negative hype surrounding tomorrow. Do you think it has to do with the Segwit agreement or maybe BTC-e refunding it customers (which is amazing by the way).

OR! Does anyone still predict the apocalypse tomorrow? Regardless, I will be holding on to my BTC until the price is much much higher but I'm interested in seeing what the community thinks.

Bitcoin holders will determine whether the price will rise or not soon as prices are determined by supply and demand. I think those investors have kept their Bitcoin till now ( I mean August 1 event) will continue to hold their Bitcoins. Those who had panicked and had sold their Bitcoins will buy again. With this high demand and low supply, the price increase is inevitable.

Interesting. You think those who panicked and sold will be willing to buy back in at say 3500+? If what you are saying is true, I wonder if the price hike will prevent new money from entering into btc.

Is this the last day of bitcoin? I dont think so ,cause bitcoin will live forever , bitcoin will be the next big thing to hit every country. People who save bitcoin will be millionaires  someday,.

The more we realise that the swings of price rests in our hands the better. The moneybags and whale will o my succeed when majority follows the direction they are driving the price towards and that's exactly what is happening. The increase in price could be because everyone is maintaining a position, exchange sites are suspending operations while users have withdrawn their coins to a safer wallet among other reasons. So the little active sites are being overstretched in my opinion, thereby increasing price.

why are you surprised?
i have said it many times, the panic, the dump, the manipulation, the dip,... all these come way before the actual event. by August 1st everyone is already where they want to be.

for example if you fear bitcoin is going to die you get out 1 month before it happens not on the exact date!!! and this already happened when they manipulated people to sell #$1800-$1900 for half a day and then those who bought enjoyed the cheap coins newbies gave them.

there was even a last squeeze last week to get the cheapest coins possible (@$2400ish) and it was the final one. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2045367.0 i hope at least 1 newbie listened and bought instead of panic selling.

It is just clever people with ksrge Bitcoin bags manipulatig the rest of us to sell our Bitcoin to them from cheap (it was below $2000) this spun them such a fast profit they dizzy. Bitcoin is going to keep going up watch and see.

It'd be a bad time to buy in right now if you haven't already, it's best to just weather the storm and let BTC go where it'll go. There'll be a lot of money to come from those who sell BTC cash and anyone who has weak hands, well they're already living with the regret that they sold 2 weeks ago at $1,800 while now it's approaching $3,000 ;)

Personally, I'm quite surprise to see bitcoin price this high hours before the feared split. Many have predicted that the price would go down bigtime prior to Aug 1, bitcoin has proven otherwise.


No its not the end of days for bitcoin tomorrow. On the contrary, bitcoin will be reborn again and I'm optimistic that the price will go up after Aug 1. Just hold because the future of bitcoin is looking good in the future. It may touch new ATH after Aug 1.

I dont really think about it but i guess it will but it will be having a hard time to pump due to the split of bitcoin cash and bitcoin i guss this bitcoincash will be a thing of bitcoin to make bitcoin price in the market to be dump or maybe bitcoin will still over come the bitcoin cash and still be the number one currency in the market.

It would not hurt to buy the bitcoin at this time, look at the increase in bitcoin prices that occur. Now everyone is competing to buy bitcoin, they want bitcoin cash for free. So I think until the beginning of August we will see the bitcoin that increasingly desirable.

Even though I was not moved to take some rash decisions, but I must admit, I was a little pessimistic about what will happen few days to August 1 and even now few hours but everything is going on the contrary now and it seems the contrary is what is happening and I hope it continues but at the same time, its the crypto world and no one knows what will happen even before the day runs out.

I personally feel that the prices will rise . Most the the traders are holding themselves because of this reason. They can make more profits with the increase in prices. Even miners are hoping for the prices to atleast cross 3500. If that happens it's better for everyone .
Now , even if the prices go up , no one is sure as to how much time it will stay constant . There is a possibility for the prices to fall as well. So one suggestion I would like to give is that do all the trading or buying stuff when the prices shoot up , like alteast 3000+.

Yeah.

It'll float around the 2700-2800 today and tomorrow, then it wi'll reach 3K, and after Segwit activation we can go to 4K.

Its up because everyone is looking to get their BCC/BCH coin, simple. What happens after, who knows.

The trust of bitcoin users on bitcoin have made it possible that even today the price is rising and hope so it will continue to rise more. We need this determination of users.

Sure,
It's just a matter of time
And no one can be sure that BitCoin Value will go up
Take a look

We can't really say that the value of bitcoin is going up as of now because there is a threat which is the bitcoin cash and we can feel the effect after the fork in august 1st which most of the bitcoin holders feared about because they also believe that the price of bitcoin or value of it will go down significantly which will lead for having a huge loss in our investment.

Its the only logical explanation as to why value keeps going Up, and right now people want to take advantage of the 2 for the price of 1 bitcoin deal that is anticipated to happen come August 1.
If current conditions continue we might see $3k before the end of the week 8)

Yes to this no one can expect if he go up or down i think Tomorrow will go to 3000 and after two week 4000 These are just expectations .

Not really, until now everyone does not panic at hearing bad news at least every problem on bitcoin. All bitcoin bag holders just need a little relax to see it back to normal

I absolutely agree to that, no one can’t predict what will happen to the value of bitcoin and when it will going up. In addition to that, as of now many people and bitcoin users believe that the price of bitcoin will rapidly increase and I think it’s because of the fork in August 1. Lastly, I believe that the price of bitcoin will be increase day by day after the fork in August 1.

Moreover, some have even invested recently. Rothschilds did on the sum of $130k or something like that.
I think people calmed down because bip was successfully activated and now they believe btc will succeed and the price will go to the moon right after tomorrow (just look at prediction threads, that's what most vote for). Thus, people buy even more until they can before the price goes crazy.

yes i didnt expect it too, but for me its kinda cool,i hope that my other coin will be go more higher and higher too, i believe that it will be. we all hope for a better future for bitcoin so let just pray and hopes that it will have a stable value.

I seriously hope that there will be a drop in the price after the activation, even for a day or two, or maybe for a little longer than that. Then it can jump to how much it wants. :D

definitely,it's just matter of time.bitcoin value will up.

Wait and see, I prefer to keep my BTC. I don't like BCC or BTU. BTC is the best. No prefix and suffix. BTC is BTC. The price will be pumped highly. Many people also wait and see when they will make a lot of profit from the situation.

Yes, the price is rising and we can safely expect more volatility after getting a green signal from the centre for the regular transactions. However, I don't think that price will be floating anywhere below $3K on and after 1 September. The current upcoming schedule event would make Bitcoin user experience much better and thus I am expecting the little increase in the user base. However, I agree on the part that volatility in the price is not going anywhere.

I agreed on you dude, bitcoin will last forever as long as there is a bitcoin believers like us who will continue to push the good things has.
Also indeed that people who save bitcoin will become millionaires. However to those who got worried and believed in bitcoin split, they are not deep in bitcoin and not true believers of bitcoin yet.

Maybe because of the panic that they dont know what to do?  ;D
Perhaps, it is being pushed by new buyers who wants to get in before the big event.
This might be a wise decision or not. Everything now cannot be foretell and they happen to make decision now that are risky but aint it good? When everything goes back to normal it might be at higher value. Who knows?

Bitcoin value is going up as it expected becasue all the community focussed on getting bitcoincash during the blockchain split. After they dump their bitcoincash, the price of real bitcoin could decline a bit.

Actually that is somewhat the same with the eth hardfork. But offcourse it is hard to compare them. For me there is nothing wrong with having bcc but there is also a chance that bcc would not have a good price increase. Hardfork is just a way to decrease the issue on fees and creating another altcoin. But bcc has a better feature that btc and its hard to just impose judgement on bcc just because of some old examples. We just have to wait after the implementation.

The Bitcoin value will not go down and everyone knows this know. No one is believing in negative hyips and all such stuff. Everyone is waiting for a soft fork which shall make bitcoin worth even more than before.  This is the main reason why price is not falling even we are just a few hours from the unexpected fork.

yeah i think so ... but we dont know what will happen after the fork ...

Yes we cant predict the price of bitcoin and we will never know what might gonna happen. But I think price will going up. Anyway, lets check and observe the movement of the price would be.

After dumping BCC we could see altcoins will pump so hard. every coin will moon except that BCC coin. Every one transfer their coins to a wallet where BCC was supported. After they got their free BCC they will absolutely dump it and re-buy altcoins.

Does anyone see BCC retaining some value until mid-September? The Ambrosus ICO doesnt go until then and I'd like to use my BCC to convert to Amber. But I dont want to wait for it if by mid-august the coin is dead or has lost significant value.

I think a lot of people have pulled their coins from exchanges and transferred it to cold storage. So you have less coins

available to fill buy orders and that will push up the price, because there are a bigger demand than supply. Yes, some people

are still buying and more people are hoarding now. We might see a much lower price after the 1st of August, when people

move back onto the exchanges. I think a bunch of people will then sell BCC to buy BTC and this might cancel out the price

decrease.  ;)

There is no need to fear Segwit. After Segwit, prices of fork are going to give ride to moon. Bitcoin cash would not significantly affect the prices of bitcoins. Bitcoins’ supporters should not give up on their coins. Their loyalty to bitcoins is going to pay them off. Some haters are trying to spread rumors about the downfall of bitcoins.

The price is going up again and it's August 1  ;D I think the result will be very much favorable, bitcoin reaches $2900 very much likely to reach $3000, I think the prediction that it can reach to $4000 before the year end can happen anytime. Many are now celebrating because they didn't sell their bitcoin when the price is crashing down instead they hold it up to this moment. Bitcoin proves that it is really a good long term investment though very unpredictable but when increases it gives favorable outcome.

It is a little surprising that the price is rising today. It could be that those that are concerned about August 1 sold or moved their Bitcoins earlier. I moved some Bitcoins off of an exchange about a week ago so I had nothing else I wanted to move or sell today.

It could also be that some people are expecting great things after August 1 and are stocking up on Bitcoins in anticipation of a big increase in price.

The price was rising before 1st August because everyone wanted to buy and stock BTC for getting free BCC. Today the price is increasing as many of the BCC holder are selling it for BTC. Buying activity is increasing. And also there is increase in buying activity because all the FUD is over now.

But BCC hard fork hasn't happened yet, that's not an explanation for actual rise of bitcoin price.

Actually bitcoin price in the market now is become steady in high value. Also there's no latest update from BCC regarding what happen. But still August 1 so we need to wait until it end.

This is actually a twist of the drama that unfolded before our eyes starting weeks ago. Bitcoin has become one of the most interesting cryptocurrency to watch as sometimes it is hard to predict how it can be reacting to things happening in the past many days and the days after.

Who would have thought that the recent announcement on BitcoinCash (BCH) can instead produce a healthy effect on the real Bitcoin? Right now, the value is rising in the face of August 1! Nobody predicted that it would be like this. People have been expecting that Bitcoin can go down as we near the said date instead Bitcoin defied the odds and is now going up.

In my opinion, BitcoinCash (BCH) and Bitcoin (BTC)  are now actually two good best friends and lets allow them to both enjoy the sweetness of their own history.

I think people are really anticipating a good market run after the Aug 1 that why  they are stashing bitcoin. It could probably be others want to get the more free BCC or BCH in their wallet. But I guess they will suddenly dump in and change to BTC again. I'm speculating just a small dip after Aug 1 but knowing bitcoin, it will recover and bounce for more.


I'm also surprised to see the price movement today. Bitcoin price is really unpredictable but we have to understand that it is driven by speculation, people that are buying have their own motives to it, but once things for sure, the future of bitcoin is bright and yes, we can really expect a big increase in price at the end of the year making everyone very happy.

Well just today bitcoin's price hit $2800 and I hope it will rise more after the segwit2x.
But I think its too early now to predict as we should expect more as this day ends.
There will be more to happen like the split is not yet happening so better wait and watch.

The price is rising because everyone wants to get Bitcoin, so they get their "free" Bitcoin Cash.
This also explains the drop in price of Alts, as people sell Alts for the same reason.

Guess what is going to happen after the fork, when they don't need their Bitcoin anymore.
 
But I think the wise choice is to ride out any small dip, and gain the benefits of the Segwit locking and activation that is coming up.

Whatever may happen with bitcoin tomorrow but I'm not going to loose the hopes. I'm holding on to bitcoin completely and with firm plans. It is going up then that's the awesome feeling ever. But if bitcoin by any means gets dumped tomorrow then also I will hold on bitcoin because I have faith that it will rise again with more potential than before. By the way peace to BCC too, no offence. :-)

The price moved backwards at $2,700 I have seen that it went $2,800 a while ago but as I check it, the price went back to $2,700. This is just a normal price movement we are still in the dust and let's just wait after all the dust settles. We'll see a skyrocket that is going to fly up to the moon and bitcoin is on the board.

As I observe the exchanges earlier I saw almost green and Im happy in what Im seeing. A good sign  of a better tomorrow. Just hoping bitcoin continue to increase as we all anticipating.
So just hold our bitcoin tight, refrain from deposits and withdrawals for not to lose your coins. I know everyone is excited by this historic event of bitcoin, so lets wait for what is next.

I think it's the fact that bitcoin cash futures value have been sliding, and people seem optimistic now that there seems to be no real issues presenting itself on 1st August which is really hyped about and had everyone worrying.

As to the apocalypse, probably not going to happen. Just completely impossible if you ask me, unless bitcoin cash gains like 100% more followers overnight then no, bitcoin price will not go down.

Remember that forks are good for bitcoin, a lot has been said about the negative side of forks(community division etc.) but in the end, forks are beneficial for the bitcoin ecosystem as software gets upgraded and it can scale.

There was nothing written of Bitcoin value going up or down upon activation though BTC has always been fluctuating and it was normal. I was not expecting it to increase but some said it will decrease after the split, hopefully after the split this day bitcoins value will increase and reach a new ath by this month.

Why Bitcoin value going up because they bought Bitcoin to get free Bitcoin cash like someone stated earlier and because that thing, it also affect to Bitcoin price and make the price going up again. But, we don't know what would happen after Hardfork successful.

I think now the price of bitcoin will start to increase because people are now selling their bitcoin cash and they are buying more bitcoin with that money with that the demand now of bitcoin has been increased much more and the price will start again increasing.

Bitcoin value has been going up and down within certain price limit. Several trading platforms have come up with more trading pairs BCH/BTC and several other forms. The future bitcoin cash is moving forward with stability and now it is close to $400, maybe this could cause a fall in the network but no impacts were observed over bitcoin's value.

While waiting for the effect of August 1 I found that bitcoin almost reach $3000 but after that now it going back to $2800 well maybe they increase the value a while ago because transactions for deposits and withdrawals were disable so whether it increases no one can sell their coins and now it back to normal so they also bring back the value to normal...some sort of promotions so that people will sell their coins and the demand will go up..

Wait for the first block, thats when the real volatility will kick in.

+ Huge dumping of Bitcoin Cash starts.

Bitcoin will soon reach $3000 no matter what. After all this fork shit, air is finally clear and hence a fresh start to much awaited threshold of $3000.

The fact is that Bitcoin discharge can only be when there is a danger of losing your investment. But for today we have already made sure that no problems with crypto currency can occur. And even bifurcation does not give any effect, because with this too users can cope without problems.

For what i observed , there are no currently problems with crypto currency can occur. And for now it doesn't affect the bitcoin since the issue last month is done and we can have a fresh start today and maybe in the future, the Bitcoin price will reach 3000$  :)

All users expecting that bitcoin price is going down after segwit, however, due to good condition of bitcoin in the market, they can survive the threat of unexpectedly fall down of bitcoin value. Moreover, I was not worry regarding the threat of bitcoin fall down, because I confidently trust that bitcoin was handled that situation.

Those threats is really non sense and despite of what negative effects may happen, people were more braver compared from previous years speculations. The expected fall down has nothing to do with the bitcoin price value to be pulled out by some investors who feared a lot, but they've became more clever on their decisions and even me I don't have fear, yet don't withdraw my bitcoin. After the day of August 1 my balance is very intact and nothing has gone wrong, so everything was a mythical rumors coming from non sense people.

Bitcoin even has a stable price at the moment, so I think forking does not really affect the bitcoin price. Bitcoin prices back again before an increase in the last 12 hours before the split. This is very encouraging, in addition BCH prices also increased quite high after the opening of the market. Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash are completely different.

Since it's August 1, what happened in the month of July is kinda frustrated since there's a lot of people panicked and decided to withdraw their bitcoins but then the Segwit issue has been resolved and completed so we can definitely see the outcome of it. We are all surprised about the value of bitcoin because it increased.

There was no reason it wouldn't continue to go up. There was reason it could have got slightly down the day before August 1st. It didn't seem to do so if it did there was no differentiating that between normal normal price changes, and I don't even think there were any of those. The price of Bitcoin is consistently continue to go up and there's no reason that should change now.

The only difference would be that some people may put a little bit of their money into that cash coin, and I don't think you're going to see anything actually coming out of Bitcoin for that rather than just going to treat it like a new altcoin. Even when people sell Bitocin cash with bitcoin,  the price of bitcoin will rise further as more bitcoin being bought.

Don't be fooled with current price ($2700) of bitcoin, it's a small amount compare to what we could achieve in the future.
We know that bitcoin price most likely to grow over time and has been proven all this years since 2009 from nothing to over $3000.
Do you know segwit will be activated within a week? BIP141 Segregated Witness gain 100% support and 945 / 2016 blocks so far, check this out https://coin.dance/blocks
Do you remember when Litecoin segwit activated? from less than $4 to over $40. Imagine with Bitcoin segwit, this coin will continue to growing.

Litecoin didn't really need SegWit, it only served as test base for Bitcoin. Bitcoin on the other hand is in severe need of SegWit to grow further. From there it's quite easy to assume that when you take out the scaling obstacle, Bitcoin will grow to unseen levels before the block halving kicks in. Include that more countries will end up legalizing Bitcoin, which will bring institutional investors closer than ever to Bitcoin, and we're in for a few interesting years.

This, for me, is the most interesting part of having Bitcoin legalized. As soon as institutions enter the game, and allocate a serious percentage of their portfolio to Bitcoin, we can say goodbye to sub $10,000 levels.

That's why, aside for trading purposes, and maybe emergency cases, I don't see any point into people cashing out their coins for fiat ~ it just doesn't make sense.

The potential short term gains that people here are mostly after, won't come even close to the eventual gains they will be making by just hodling. It only requires patience, and that's really it.

yes that is right that in present time bitcoin has a very stable price and but in future we can see some good increase in the price of bitcoin, i am sure that bitcoin price will start increasing very soon and therefore i am holding my bitcoins.

It seems that the confidence of people in bitcoin has reached a point in which is a lot more difficult to shake than in the past, people are happy despite all the things that happened so I think it is fair to assume the price is going to stay the way it is and no much more movement is going to happen in the next days.

On my opinion we had no reasons to worries about bitcoin price, we are confident to bitcoin value because they fully trust them. I also hoping that bitcoin was continue to increase value in the future.

Well because of the strong support given by the community that really helps about the increasing price that we experience. And of course there's no split that happened.
Right now bitcoin community has very overwhelm about this and happy that they didnt sold their coins while many are trolling about segwit. So now lets wait for bitcoin to increase more and go to the moon.

I am sure the price will reach the point of the bitcoin when time ago made many people feel concern against price movement which occurred in bitcoin so many people are afraid of it, but now that BTC is experiencing the value goes up and I hope prices will remain in the position of the bitcoin moment that gives the advantage to the user bitcoin after seeing this is certainly :) ;)

I think that bitcoin's value will go up also. Because bitcoin is complex and not stagnant. It accepts change for example the fork or the split right? It will go up, and I think after many years of just months. It could be higher than our expectations. So I am telling you to stop believing in FUDS and start hodling Bitcoin. It will go up, SOON. Just wait, have some balls in waiting.

Who cares i mean who cares as you talked about bitcoin price. Everyone know that it is increasing it is enhancing so would anyone care that you talking about worries. If somebody worry then they are the one who are flops always because bitcoin is the right place to invest and to trade to gain a lot of amount of money means extra profit.

I think threat of 1st August has no any value now because people have seen the consequences of speculations and I observe that all miss convincing ideas has been died with 1st August and now the time is to growing up of bitcoin price. I predict the price of bitcoin at the end of August $500, because people are believing now much than the previous and eagerly investing in bitcoin.
