Is this the beginning? How do you prepare your investments...?  ??? ??? ???

HODL.

Keep calm.. Buy while you can.. And hold.. I bought more in bitcoin for future,,

Hold and don't look at it on daily basis will be my 2 cents of advice. Panic happens if you keep a watch on every minute movements.

What your mean ? Fork time / bloody october for BTC or Altcoin?
I need more info! Thanks

The op is refering to November Bitcoin folk! The thread sound like a doomsday announcement and the op is pathetic alarmist! There is no need for  unneccesary fud! Bitcoin is solid and it can only get better!

He's just asking a question lol, it might be a little exaggerated. But to call it fud is also kinda overdoing it.

just HODL op  :P.

I need more information about Fork time related to Bitcoin.

for sure the bloody movements will make more panic holders to sell what they have, better to buy little by little and try to accumulate more coins which you prefer to invest with, understanding what happen from the current fork will allow us to think wiser not because of rumors and some fud then we will sell and be afraid, taking risk is much rewarding than worrying about your investment better to learned to close your eyes when you see that you are losing think that tomorrow will bring the next big thing to your success.

Will be this time the sam like with BCH, so the most good options is now fiat, and before fork transfer in BTC and send to exchange, where you get free BCH or other coin?

I'm planning to hold my coins and to to panic. If i get a good price to by i'll by more but i'm not selling in any case.

Some may see fear, others see opputunity  8)  Buy up what the weak hands can't hold onto.

There's nothing to do with the upcoming fork. Just keep on holding all of your coins on your stash because it will be just the same.


Yes, don't panic at all as there's no need for us to do it, don't regret the same mistake that we did before.

I'm fully (85%) at teether USD and waiting for panic sales to make general purchase. I like it! ;)

I don't think that this is another doomsday for bitcoin. It may very well affect the price but its unlikely that its gonna be bloody. Well, we have seen just like month crypto bloodbath from the China news, but we have recovered. So just we should know by now that the best choice is just to hodl and buy in dips.

I believe that there wont be any major price drop or bearish trend but opposite. Because expected trends do not occur in crypto world. If everybody thinks that there will be a big dump, i think it will not happen!

I think that HODLing of altcoins during (and before) upcoming fork will have same profitability (or even more) than bitcoin gold reward.

We could see some blood in the next time, but I thing thats just a good time to refill your bags! This will not be the end for altcoins or bitcoin, after that fork action we will see some green party  :P

The way to prepare my investment should be USDT or evern fiat amount. The possible thing to see the market will be crashing so hard. As far as i know that the truth about the fact you will be able to do anything if you are holding the USDT or fiat balance at the time of the big crash. Like buy ton of the coin at the cheap price.

Store bitcoin so that we get as much new bitcoin as possible if it's the same price as bch at first and then hit the floor with an average of 1 bitcoin you can make $ 300-500. Get rich quick is here but where ha ha

Has USDT been deemed safe. I read a lot of FUD articles a couple weeks back then made me hesitant. If it is indeed safe the best play IMO is to put in tether and buy the dips but may not be worth the risk of trying to time everything

I'm not completely sure if understand the consequences this fork correctly. Do you think lots of people want to exchange altcoins for bitcoins to profit from the fork and therefore altcoins might drop in price just before the fork? Or will the fork of bitcoin directly influence prices of all cryptos?

look at what happened in july. this will be the same game again in october. things repeating...and most people are just dump and too emotional.
I think we will heading to 3000 mid of october

People are weak holding their bitcoins and weak minds that turn into panic selling.. and others too are affect until they sell also their bitcoin..
They really don't understand bitcoin is unpredictable and volatile but bitcoin can be over pass the price above $5k until $6k before end of this year.. 

If you can check the previous movement of bitcoin from the past year and until now the price was really different and the price right now are really increased so if you can hold for a long time just hold it until next year because of you have a weak hand holding your bitcoin instead of you can make profit you can be lose profit..  so just hold your bitcoin tightly and wait for months or year if you made a 20% profit its good or if the price was increase x2 you can sell it and get 100% profit..

I guess it was on november for bitcoin. But for Ethereum and Waves its in October and i prefer not to call bloody its greedy october for me.
Good improvements will gain more. so hodl and buy more time.

The risk to lose your shirt and money is always there in market. I some times start thinking to quit with every thing and only use Simple plan hard cash.

For my previous coins i would still hodl up no matter how bloody would be the market and for now my plans is to save up more funds to buy cheaper coins on those times for sure it would repeat the situation just like what happened on august 1 fork.Its always been better to buy always on dips because there would be an another easy money scheme to happen :D

I'm remembering all the shit that has happened this year.

I think it is plain as day, you should NOT hold your altcoins. All altcoins see massive drop when a fork comes. Because people want to bank on the "double" Bitcoin they get. I'm talking big players.

And we know the big players move the market.

I will be dropping all my altcoin and re-buy after, probably doubling my holdings.

That's my advice too. Unfortunately I find it hard to stick to it, but I'm trying my best :) You're definitely right about the panic.

This is just another bump in the road. Keep holding and stay the path. I am not even concerning myself over this new fork.

Is the day already settled ? We know exactly when it will happen ?

Isn't fork a good thing?

As far as I understand a bad thing is if the fork will fail, but it won't affect the Bitcoin price much, will it?

Stay Calm & Don't Panic!
Just keep in mind that nothing severe happened last August (1st of Aug) & everything went good for bitcoin.
I was concerned some time ago that this could 'negatively' affect any upcoming ICOs that will take place at the same period but after the good responses I got over here; I'm sure it will pass smoothly

I set some money aside and wait for the dip. Have my limit buys in place. Diversify between a few coins. I think it's a great opportunity potentially to buy cheap and, like another poster said, to make some cash scalping your holdings now. I think most people are bullish on crypto in the long run so there's no need to panic. After this bump, it will all go back up (in all likelihood)

If you're confused, and you're not sure of what to do just keep your investments and don't trade, until market gets more stable.

Touchy-feely market ain't a good time to do 1000 trades. I learned it the hard way by a cruel teacher called experience.  :'(

Don't make him/her become your teacher too.

It seems to me the best solution, keep your investments in wallets and keep them in long. So you get your new bitcoins on these wallets that will support the fork. And to increase the deposit and the number of bitcoins, I advise you to participate in bounty companies. It is very profitable.

I just stay hold my earning cryptos just what I did last August bitcoin split, I think this fork will make bitcoin pump again like a sky rocket just like what happen before!  ;)

If you hold your BTC on Coinbase, you could have a problem. They have not said if they will support both coins in a split. Just like what happened with Bitcoin Cash.

Just hold and be calm and don't panic. We all heard this phrase time and time again. But the problem is that members specially newbies are really affected by a big price swing and to covered their lose they sold their coins. We still don't know what gonna happen in Nov. but one thing's for sure, if the price crash, then its gonna be a good buying point for all of us. A dip is not a bad thing, for others its the perfect opportunity buy bitcoin back and saved. So as early as today, newbies should learn this. Just stay cool and wait till the dust settles and just listen to a more Senior member here. Because if you panic, you are going to regret your decision off loading your coins during the crash.

There is no reason to panic. First this is not even a problematic fork, you should almost see it as an "airdrop". You just hold you bitcoins and you will get bitcoin gold out of it. Wait for a while to see the best way to claim your new free coins, and then you can decide what to do with it. Hold it, or just sell it and buy more bitcoins.

I think holders are enjoying these forks now. Not so sure about the fork in November, simply because of the absence of replay attack protection, but we still have time to "prepare" for that one.

They are just weak holding their altcoins or bitcoin..  and i think the other people are just following the trends if they seen the price was decreases and other people are selling they are also selling. Those who late will not getting any profit or they will lose because they don' know exactly what will be happen with altcoin or bitcoin .. the same what happen when china banning ICO..
So i think there will no bloody will happen this month..

Is this going to drop the price of all altcoins and btc is going up? Thanks !

It won't be that bad I am considering on trying to get a bunch of Bitcoin so I could get more of that Bitcoin Gold currency that is going to get launched around the update.

If past forks are anything to go by, it will lead to an increase in volatility. The overall positive trend should continue.

My prediction BTC wil drop for about 20% anda altcoin to the same %....so huge drop. Im not panic only realistic...but some good altcoin will rise...if you on this train jus HODL...

I heard some guy at a bitcoin meetup casually imply that tether is not safe. I'd be careful putting money into that. BTC longterm hodling is my plan of action

I think for now the best way just hodl and buy perspective coin, when their price will down.

Agreed. But to buy more you must have free btc or usd ;) I'm trying to do the same, but I hate when I'm not in time with dumping some coins before pretty evident bearish trend has begun.

I think this is just the beginning and we are waiting for the big drop, perhaps many altcoins will not survive, but after will still be growth. If you are an investor then just relax and buy coins in the fall)

I just hold! That is how I will prepare my investment. It cannot be bloody and I am sure the August fork already taught so many people a lesson. It will most definitely come just like another fork and some free cash maybe.

Even if eventually we see a dump on bitcoin, I see that as no problem, it is more like having cash in 2 ways, having from the forked chain and buying at the bitcoin dips.

Why do you think that this November will be bloody? I don't think so. Those who is a supporter of bitcoins will not lose anything. We have seen it repeatedly. Even fake that China prohibits the use of cryptocurrencies was not able to undermine the credibility of bitcoin. On the other hand, those who do not trust bitcoin will have the opportunity to invest in something that he likes. What's wrong with that? To each his own.

Last time there had been fork in btc I panic and withdraw all my btc and some of my alts then few days after fork all pump their price and I regret so I guess on nxt forking I wont do same thing again Ill just keep holding.

i think this time this fork will be different, because are prepared so bitcoin price will not drop much like with bitcoin cash fork, altcoin are uncertain but i think they will drop perhaps not the strong one, and is yet to be seen how good this new fork will be of bitcoin gpu, i don't think the peak will be like with bitcoin cash there was more hype back then now it's the same thing all over again

I think I will do the same. Sell all my altcoins, buy bitcoin and wait for altcoins dip -  buy them again. But Im still uncertain about it ..about what will happen. I will probably only HODL and take no action

My general strategy has always been to HODL like mad. So far it has seemed to work out well for me and I intend to do this again this month.

I'm not going to try to ride any waves as that is much too stressful for me.

Definitely there will be more panic selling of btc when their will be a hardfork. So in this case I would hold because same strory last year price will surge.

I don't believe in the pessimistic scenario. Whales are again trying to create panic and to fish in troubled waters. I'm not going to change their tactics in such cases. If you have the money then during the fall need to buy coins. Now it's late, but even those who buy now have the chance to earn. And hold your coins until November. Price in any case will go up. When the consequences of the bifurcation can be overcome, it is possible to act on the environment.

you might be right that there will be no btc dump.
but there are many newcomers which didn't get a lesson the last time or are just too dump to learn. I think there will be a dump to max 3000. This would be not that hard as last time and still in  the long term bullish trend

I think things will remain relatively calm compared to last time with bch, nothing to worry about.

It seems to me that most likely the accident will not happen, but 30 percent we will prasadam. And Yes, I'm ready to buy ;)

the Nov split is actually technically more tricky than the BCH folk, as the 2X intend to be the main chain upgrade rather than a fork. People are taking sides in the No2X and 2X fight. I believe there will still be drama ahead but keep faith. If bitcoin fails, the whole cryto will fail, and there are too much at stake so hopefully we will come to some sort of compromise. Then bitcoin will fly again.

I am expecting an opposite move this month. If everything would go as what everybody predict, everybody would be richer than god in this ecosystem. Surprises makes people rich. We can expect an opposite trend for this month  ;D

Very hard to call , i expected a price decrease in august when the fork was happening then but not much happened.
I think this time will be the same.

Protect yourself by using proper risk management and other than that all you can do through a storm is try to weather it. Hold on for now, wait for sunny times coming soon. Winter is here, but we can out wait the storm.

my advice: buy cheaper, sell more.
and do not look at the price every second. very much you will be very nervous.

The beginning of what?

Your account history shows it was opened on July 15. It means you witnessed the August 1 fork then. You know we all survived it. So, why the apprehension now with this purported upcoming fork, OP? You may want to edit the thread topic not to sound questionably alarmist.

I think because mostly people will await BCH scenario it will not happen again. Also BCH was backed by China largest miners and others..Segwit2x is not backed by same peoples.

If I had some free money I would bet to BCH. I think it could be pumped more again.


But seriously all this forks situation is looking very comic.


Bitcoin is not developing anymore it is forking to minor updates.

And this minor fork updates could seriously harm Bitcoin in future. It is allready now so many confusion about Bitcoin and BCH adresses..Money lost forever. But more forks come.

This is what I'm thinking . . . the upside on Alts once BTC stabilises could be massive! Accumulate more during this period while they're cheap . . .

My only reservation is there is soo much competition in the market these days due to the vast number of ICO's . . . which Alts to pick!?

Also when this pump will be I don't know.

The expected pump for alts wont be in the next few days IMO but instead it might happen if BTC stabilize for quite a while for people to begin to seek profit in altcoin market again. The ICO's need to stop coming for a while, it needs to be lessened. The current number of ongoing ICO is too much for market and most of it is either crappy or scam so people must be careful in investing into them. Probably by December or before, altcoin market will pick up a rising trend.

I think we can speculate again what happened last August for this upcoming hard fork.
It can't directly affect the price of bitcoin as well as the altcoin because many us here knew what will gonna happen.
The least we can do now is hold our coins so we don't miss the train anymore, panic won't help you to this.

nothing is going to change because of October fork. it is not even worthy of attention! when you premine an altcoin, you kill it yourself, it doesn't even leave any room for any discussion about its future. Bitcoin Gold is officially a pump and dump shitcoin.

the November fork however can potentially be bloody. but we can not say anything about it right now. you need to wait and see  what will happen the closer we get to that date.

I think it all depends on the price of bitcoins. Now we see that the price of bitcoin returned to its original position and stabilized. The near future to expect growth of the price. Similarly, the market altcoins. Always altcoins follow bitcoin because it was and will be the locomotive of the market of cryptocurrencies.

You can never know if there will be blood or not. I will hold my coins.

We are still ~ 1.5 months away from the Segwit2x fork. That's a lifetime in crypto. If it seems like the fork will move forward 2-3 weeks before the fork block height, then I think the market will begin pricing in the risk at that time.

The bears seem unable to take the markets downwards for now; the market seems like it's coiling for a move up. And money is still flowing into alts right now. So I suspect that October won't be the bloody month. Also, people seem pretty optimistic about the ETH hard fork, and if it goes smoothly, that might be an excuse for the markets to rally.

two weeks before fork btc price will rise, and alts will start to fall ( not all of them ). After fork in a week time , everything will be back to normal, and all the forked coins btcg will be dumped. Back to normal, back to alts.

Everybody is so optimistic here, I really hope you are right. But I have a bad feeling about all these forks and all the games played in the background.

About bloody October, I don't think so, in this month BTC will appear strongest than ever. The bloody November on the other side, is a possibility.

So what is the exact date the fork is expected to take place?

I believe there won't be any adverse effect on the market this time by Bitcoin gold fork. Market is already prepared because of the last BCH fork where all the uncertainty before fork ended up in huge price surge after the fork. I don't think people will make the same mistake this time by panicking and selling their bitcoin. Price will most probably stay strong before and after Bitcoin gold fork. Saying anything about 2x fork won't be right as for now. As it is still very unpredictable.
Bitcoin gold fork is expected to happen on 25th October.

Totally agree with you!
Better hold and forget about the dips and drops...the light must come in the end  ;)
Anyway i am pretty positive about this month..i think there will be a general rise in crypto
besides the upcoming forks and changes.

p.s. If u want to invest your money and time in a coin with a brilliant future and a solid community, you should take a look at Deep Onion  8)
www.deeponion.org

Deep Onion is a scam and you are a scammer.

2 weeks before BCH fork it was a hard dump(more than 40%).

you can expect a big dump by mid october. whales will try to accumulate more bitcoins to get free money after fork :)

I didn't understand exactly what this supposed upcoming fork is actually about. WHo is plannig to fork, exactly?  Do they have any critical mass to get some miners on their side?

I can only predict that a lot of token / altcoins holders are going to dump their coins in order to buy more bitcoin, and this is why altcoins will bleed a lot in the time left for the new fork, and we can see it right now, most altcoins are down, and bitcoin is going up, so everybody needs to be ready to see bitcoin going up until November, and altcoins going down again, just like it happened on August.

Ok, so my prediction was good...altcoin drops a lot...only BTC was suprised me a lot...good! I have only 15% now in altcoin, and this coin is a staking coin...good luck. my post was not intention to do a panic, just prepare to cut lose... ;)

There really nothing to worry about the coming forking. I will just hold my btc and wait for its price to rise up. I also recommend you to buy now (or should have bought earlier) because a week  before and after the forking, bitcoin price is expected to rise up just like what happened to bitcoin during the first forking where bitcoin cash was created. I think bitcoin will hit again the $5,000 mark before or after the October 25 forking.

Really???
Can you prove it???
Do your own research before making huge claims like this my friend!!!
DeepOnion is NOT a SCAM!
Get involved in the project..touch it with your own hands and than you should be able to judge! ::)

Contrary to the claim if this headline, October has been soooo beautiful for Bitcoin so far! Almost 50% increase in price and faster transaction! Bitcoin is becoming established and less volatile especially when it find support, it rarely move downward!

Waiting for the news about BTC Gold. Every Dump on BTC has a good opportunity to increase the count of it.

Forks really mess with the whole market when it involves BTC   >:(
Hopefully much less of those next year.

There is likely to be a huge pump that will cause the altcoins to get green ratings on most bitcoin exchanges. The people that purchase Bitcoin Gold during the fork will lose a few coins when it dumps down.
