Hi guys,
in your opinion, it's time to buy or sell this sh*tcoins?  ???

I assume you try to buy into good projects, that you have some kind of faith in.
You buy them because you think they will be a good investment.

A good project will still be a good project whether btc forks or not, why would you sell?

Agreed. If you do not like the investment idea behind an altcoin, you should not invest in the first place.

Take a step back and consider if the fork will really impact your altcoin's valuation, and even if so, how long will it be affected? Bearing in mind that many coins have bounced back well after an initial setback.

since altcoins was invest in speculation
yes, you should resources more about project behind it
that would be impact of your investing in future

I took the question to mean should they sell altcoins and put in in Bitcoin before the fork.

If that's the question, then I'm wondering the same thing. Seems like Bitcoin Cash was free money if you had any Bitcoin sitting around.

I plan on keeping the alts I really believe in  (DeepOnion) but selling some I keep floating around and loading up on Bitcoin before the fork. I have some XRP I have that I'll probably flip into Btc and then back to XRP after the fork. Just my two cents.

Sell those who are in too dip for long and increase even a little bit, but if you dont need money yet or not thinking to buy or invest elsewhere better keep it.

No you should hoard it except for those altcoins that looks like scrap or no progress for how many months in which mostly more than beyond 100 in rank but for those top 10 you should hoard them and wait. Bitcoin had experienced lot of crisis including this one before so altcoins should follow the path then lets just wait and see.

This time to sell your shitcoin because the bitcoin fork got some problem and it may be delayed. Just try to look at the coinmarketcap and try to see about the chart and where it goes, if you are seeing green chart and youi must sell your  coin.

I wouldn’t sell. I would buy cheap altcoins instead because you can find some great bargains at the moment. When the market rebounds after the fork, you could make more money than if you bought bitcoin, which is at an ath now, another reason not to buy it.

everyone same a think , hold bitcoin  and sell altcoin to they can hark fork , but same happen on  August  2017

Good to earn by the way people are making this before fork. dumping alts to buy bitcoins, so is the right time to buy altcoins at this time.

correction maybe showing now with btc value and alts are starting to gain some good green positive movements so those good and quality coin got a
big potentials to bounce back its all about timing and knowing which coins are really progressing and have a positive growth together with btc.

Keep hodling, fork will be rode out and then will continue to march higher, still lots of money coming into crypto in general to support it going higher

Depends, since I have some btc left. Not too much but still enough and getting hard to decide what alt to sell I'll hold, but others were selling their alts to buy btc to have some freebies on fork.

Follow the hype or don't follow the hype. Do your own research and make a decision.

Why do you have to sell it if it is a good coin? The value of coin is dependent on bitcoin but there is a lot of coin when the bitcoin decreases and its value increases. Why sell it? I think this before the fork if you are holding some coin then you should store them through the tie because now most of the coin current is lower than the original price because people are holding the bit get new bitcoin copper but the field at the drop then it will probably increase so do not worry too much for this. And you are storing bitcoin, I recommend you use one third of your account to buy the coin at a very cheap price after the fork will be a pretty big deal.

Its noobness to sell alt coin for loss just to get the Bitcoin gold which is fork of BTC. I think better wait and watch. Only see those which you can buy back at same price else you will regret if coin moons! :D

Money is already flowing back into some altcoins, and i think this trend will continue for some time now (atleast until the weekend). Still a good time to buy into your favorite cryptos and reap the benefits ;)

Nobody know what will be the outcome of the fork even bitcoin gold team can not tell you expressly that nothing would go wrong. Albeit, I will advice you not to sell your value alt for passing fork or, you might regret it!

i think sell now, buy btc and hold bitcoin or you can buy some alt who more profitable after or when hardfork happen.. its better than you hold shitcoin for hardfork

Agree with your point. There is no point selling the coin of projects we believe in, I guess patience is the key here.  And altcoins might not be down this time, I see most coins in green today.

Depending on the coins you are holding, if there is no major update that is going to be release then for awhile you can sell it for bitcoin
so you will be able to benefit the fork. I am also planning to sell some of my alts because I want to own Bitcoin Gold and I am just waiting for the right timing since most of my alts are down currently.

Not a bad strategy to move your coins into the coin about to be forked, it's free coins and I'm sure a lot of people did that with Bitcoincash. Sounds like an easy way to possibly even double your money if you play it right. Good question.

If someone believe that altcoin does not have good future or from long time its value is just stable and not rising then its better to get it converted to bitcoin and hold it before the fork happens so that you can participate in getting the other coin. Hope the coin value rises after the event.

Altcoins are slowly decreasing in value, and this habit might continue until the fork ends. IMO, I think it will be wise to sell your altcoins now and buy again a day before the fork, by doing that, you will be able to make so much profit since you will be buying when its low and selling when its high.

I don't think its wise to sell your altcoins so that you will be able to claim free bitcoin gold, rather hold on to your alts or even buy more if you can so that you can start making profit once the values begin recovering.

WHy would I do that, something like this happened last year when Ethereum and Altcoins were dumping rely hard,  regret not buying Ether at $5 that is 60X return in a year, there is no where you can get a return like this

I dont think to sell any altcoin now.because after hard fork of btc altcoin pump.its best time to buy altcoin

Don't even think aboout dumping your altcoins now at dips, before the BTC hardfork. Everything will be fine in November ;)

Yes, in my opinion it is the right time to sell our altcoins in the exchange before the fork. It is much better to do it than regret it in the end. At least anyhow, you get benefit on it and have profit.

Everyone is doing that why should you step back if you are in a profit (sounds impossible for most of the alts) then only sell it. I can assure you alts might not rise till hard fork is over so simply holding them wouldn't be a good choice instead get some free coins who knows it might end up like bch. For my portfolio only xmr is giving me decent amount of profits rest all are low so i wouldn't sell it.

A good project will still be a good project whether btc forks or not,
If you believe in the altcoin you are holding, I suggests you hold it tight

I wouldn't wonder if those weklings would get scared and sell off their altcoins, there are altcoins that are worth it to invest. But this coming fork if yo do receive Bitcoin gold, the best thing to do would be to sell it off before it disappears out of nowhere.

I'm personally gonna take this opportunity to buy altcoins and ignore the fork. I don't believe BitcoinGold will hold much value.

If you don't believe in the altcoins holding, then yes, you should sell them. The tendency shows traditionally crypto-people try to sell altcoins in order to buy BTCs, but at that time altcoins sale price may not be so interesting and engaging as expected.

No one knows in what position altcoins will be after the fork, but i strongly believe they will all pump after the fork and bitcoin will lose a littile bit significantly. I dont know but these is more likely to happen in my own opinion so it is good to keep or invest in some altcoins before the fork but if you have a great amount of btc, i would choose to put my money all on btc.

People are actually selling their altcoins to buy bitcoin because of the fork, but mysterious things can happen after the fork that will make some people to regret their action.

It's time to buy altcoins cheap I think. It's very likely that Bitcoin and Bitcoin gold will get dumped back for the coins once the dust settles over the fork.

I think this is the main mistake of most novice traders. An attempt to move from one asset to another will not help you earn money. I usually on such movements of the market wait for the most convenient moment for buying and buy assets with a large drawdown.

I think the best tactic is to buy some altcoins just before the fork, as their price would be rather low, and then wait for x2 and more.

Selling alts at this point is a huge mistake, we don't know yet if the new fork coin they call it bitcoin gold will have the same support as BCH had, BIG Wu had more than $500 millions to keep the coin alive, who is behind the new fork? I wish that Core devs could've (would've) cloned the same BCH and BCG and let the community to decide. after all if open source projects had no value because they were giving the ability of cloning to anyone, they are good for times like this new fork :D

nope. the forks will prove to be worthless or won't happen at all.

you'd make far more money scooping up cheaper alts. in certain cases they're crazily undervalued compared to the past. that does of course presume they'll be worth the same again in the future and maybe each bitcoin fork guarantees that.

Before selling alts it's important to determine whether free coins will be granted in the upcoming forks, I believe. You are saying bitcoin cash was a free money at the time after segwit but I though people got to choose between spending their btc as btc or as bitcoin cash, so it's not like they could have both, right? Thus, as our btc is still #1 and is not likely to be beaten by forks, I guess there's not much use in putting money into bitcoin before the fork specifically.

Yeah you could sell some of your alt coin and buy Btc before hard fork as after hard fork you'll get bitcoin gold for free

It seems to me that most people now do that. All altcoins are falling, while bitcoin is eager to 5000$. After hard forks I think all altcoins will soar again, and the bitcoin will drop to 3K $.

^ stop panic sells, actually, people who do panic sell that lower the price of the coin. so please do not be too panicked when hardfork happens. hardfork is often and not to make a loss, so do not panic.

That's what I also think.

Why not starting investing in other coins like Bitindia ? ???

If you are a player hold it if not sell it ..
 ;D

Yeah this is the right thing to do i think, unless you have a lot of btc and want some bitcoingold.
I would choose to buy now and i think you will profit in a couple of months.

Taking into account that bitkoyn takes first place in the list of crypto-currencies, I support other projects, because I look at two steps forward. Young coins, I do not hurry to sell, what will be their price in 5 years. wait and see 8)

People love easy money that's why they are converting their altcoins to bitcoin now to get free bitcoingold, I would also do that if I have enough money because that is free and you will not risk anything. The first fork was successful which is the BCC and now people are too eager to earn more so it has really affected the altcoins market. This is just temporary as after the fork everything will be back to normal.

Seems like a personal gamble at this point that could go either way. I think most people are going to keep the alts that they believe in (for me, Deeponion and Neo) and sell off the ones that don't look like they're open to market improvements to maximize the btc fork. Honestly this is something that I should have done for Bitcoincash but unfortunately I wasn't really thinking with this strategy in mind. Hopefully I won't regret it with this fork, either!

With the experience of Bitcoin Cash, lot of people are selling their altcoins to get more Bitcoin to have a higher share in Bitcoin Gold airdrop. But I personally don't sell my altcoins that I have hold them for long-term because of Bitcoin Gold.

People, I have a strong feeling that there might not be segwit2x hardfork, and that they are doing all this just to scare people and get as much bitcoin they could...

That's what people are doing right now, they want bitcoin gold so they are dumping altcoins and crashing the market. After they get bitcoin gold, there is likely a chance for alts to rise and you will see bitcoin gold being dumped immediately. This time also it's kinda going to be like how the first hard fork was signalled, bitcoin cash was dumped by people who claimed it. But then the question is that who will support bitcoin gold like how bitmain supported bitcoin cash.

I also would let people know that they should be purchasing more Bitcoin if they plan on making some Bitcoin when that Forking happens later.

Indeed, if anyone wants a free Bitcoin Gold coin, which should appear as a result of the next fork from the bitcoin separation on October 25 in a purse with the original bitcoin, then it must have this bitcoin for this. It can be obtained either by investing, or by transferring funds from the altcoins to bitcoin. And the supposedly appeared coin will also have a decent value - somewhere at least $ 500. Some show the merits of the new coin, including that it will be available for mining on low-power graphics cards to miners, others have already begun to call it useless. We will see, we will estimate. There is no need to hurry.

No hold altcoins.If you sell them now there is no meaning of holding them till now.But if your altcoins is trading high and you will profits selling them then no problem.

dont worry to much with the fork. as long as the project is good i believe it will somehow survive against the fork. there is indeed an effect cause of fork but as long as the project well maintaned and keep developing just worry not my friend.

No, not my ARK

Yea i agree. Don't wanna risk my altcoins in exchange of bitcoin gold, besides I can buy that when it dumps.
It's not a good idea to sell alts now then just buy back again, like it's really a bad move. I just don't touch my coins and wait the drama to be over.

Since altcoins was invest in speculation so yes, you should resources more about project behind it
that would be good impact of your investing in future.

Even though I sell all my altcoins, it still can't sum up to 1 bitcoin (which is the minimum requirement to avail free coin after the fork, as fas as I know). With that, I will only hold my alts, but I am also adding my alts since the price is so good to buy.

Before fork bitcoin will go down and alts will go deep much more. So, in fork time good choice is BTC or fiat.

i'll just hold onto BTC that'll be the safest and get dividends  8)

I think this has possibly happened over the last few days.
Bitcoins value is just scraping close to the magic $5000
threshold while a lot of alts are down.

I have traded some alts which seem dormant into hitcoin,
I can buy them back when i get my Gold

Fork certainly impacts valuation. but good coins always bounce back after fork.
it is time for them who have good experience in the trading. if you do not have good experience you should not try it.
try good projects in new icos flooding now a days.

yes if you want to sell before the fork is also okay because bitcoin prices now again rise dramatically to the 5000 dollars :)
keep up and stay calm :D

just sell to me altcoin that you have, you just focus to bitcoin fork while i focus to altcoin that look potential

It's your opinion. Getting an equal amount of a altcoin as your bitcoin holding can be beneficial in both way for holding two coins.
This fork is decreasing the value of altcoins which indeed would be best time to buy cheap alts.

So, basically it depends on the success of the forked coin. Is the forked coin better than alts you are holding?
In my opinion this new forked coin would have no future.

I would rather keep my coin, price are low now but i guess they will go up after the fork, see what happen last fork

Is it? I think I heard that there is no minimum required amount of bitcoin to get bitcoin gold. But I'm not sure though.

exactly that was a wrong decision making of selling all altcoin then go for another to start again why would you do that if your in the middle of your story on the altcoin and making some good profit.

If you didn't sell alts recently on the highs just hodl them through the hardfork. You will take a lot of losses if you dump them now.

I think hedging against uncertainty is not such a bad thing.actually it a good strategy. Remember the bloodbath we experience in the days leading to august 1st?so I don't think it's naive not to expect something of a similar nature heading to November 1st.it has nothing to do with faith in r project.its just common sence

yes I do not think it is appropriate to sell some altcoin because the price again on the down drastically,
better wait

Selling before an hardfork is typically the thing that you shouldn't do...
Yes the altcoins value will decrease before fork, because everybody's afraid to loose their money.
But a good project remains a good project and it won't affect it in the middle/long term.

But worse than that, those more and more common hardfork, are just there to destroy little project that try to rise...
Those hardforks are only there to speculate and crush the competition. Let's be honest, changing from 1Mo to 2Mo a block capacity is useless, when you know the revolution that is coming. It's not a 2Mo block that will handle Billions of people using blockchain in some decades.
Look at ethereum, they do hardfork without spliting money, because they know how to do it, and they don't want to destroy de market value.

I think it is always better to hold on to your coins if you really believe in it and the people behind it. With BTC rising the ALT's are bleeding and this is normal. It has happened in the past and it seems to be happening now. At this point of time I would rather pick some good projects and stick around with it than sell everything like weak hands and regret later. Study the details about the coin and take call.

Tip: Good time to look for investing in MasterNodes if you are looking for some passive income. Prices are low so you might be able to get some at low price.

Have a nice day.

I will be holding my alt coins as I believe in them and think that they will be growing even after fork. if you have some successful projects keep holding.

I'm going to take advantage of the recent pump in BTC to back some ICOs in ETH.  I'll back the same ICOs I was planning on backing but use the 25% gain in btc over the last few weeks to buy them.

Everybody surely have their own ways of trading. I would not advise anyone to sell for loss now anyway, since there is a possibility of some of these coins being pumped before the first hardfork which some of them are already showing sign of that anyway. Personally, I used the opportunity at this stage to but some reasonable altcoins for more profit after the fork or even before the fork as the case may be.

the new fork will give oportunity to me. we can get free money from forking :)
better to buy as much as possible

why sell altcoins,i choose hodl and buy more, i love good project,yesterday i bought 9k onions and 200 postoken,and i always buy blk,they are my top3,hodl and buy more

I think that you should sell all your altcoins before the fork simply because you can expect a massive increase in price of Bitcoin after the fork and when prices of BTC goes up, there is a blood bath in altcoin market. You can expect huge amounts of losses if you are willing to invest in altcoins and the prices of altcoins will surely fall.
You can easily expect a price of 6000$ for Bitcoin after the fork so play smart, and dump your altcoins.

I don't agree with you. Now there will be capital outflow in the direction of bitcoin do. This is due to the large expected growth of bitcoin prices. This should reduce the price of altcoins. But after the growth of bitcoin prices will stay the capital back to altcoins. This will provoke sharp jump of the prices. You only need to guess which coins will rise in price.

It is too late to sell them right now. They dropped so much already compared to btc, that there might be a high likelyhood that they will rebounce soon enough

Alts are always in the shadow of the big coins. That is why they are alts.
But a good alt can rise again and again, and will live for so long. Bad alts die soon.
Hold your best ones, dump the poorest.

I dont think thats its a good time to drop your altcoins. They already have seen a lot of downtrend and I think they will recover sooner or later. If you got the money to wait and rebuy, just do it!

When the bitcoin fork happened, I sold my bitcoins and other coins because I thought it would disappear in my wallet. I was scared to lose so I was panic selling those times but I learned not to do it again. We can transfer our coins into another wallet which we hold our private key to be excluded from the fork. Or buy another coin then sell it back to your previous coins. Fork is always happening in crypto world.

The price is actually unpredictable after fork we do not know what will happen. But if you looking bitcoin first before hardfork many people are selling their coin because they do not want to lost his money. In this case Selling before hardfork is probably a safe step.

With the hardfork coming and the btc value, as of the moment, is soaring high, selling or holding on to altcoins have always been one of the greatest dillema ever. But as for me, i do have faith with the coins i have and i do believe that these coins can recover and so i'll hold on to them. though everything will be uncertain and no one could ever say when these coins can recover, but i guess it is best to hold on to them.

Did you call them she*tcoins? Obviously, you didn't have any expectations for the coins you're into.

If I trust the package to start with, I'd always wait for dips to buy more. Except I've got intel of am impending doom.

many of the allcoins have a good future. so which one do you mean ? I think it depends what you learn and plan.
not all allcoin will fall low.

Hello,

I would suggest looking at three concepts before selling. Is the current fork going to increase demand but lower supply? Is supply high but demand low? Will this fork fix supply versus demand.

Its speculation really. Id say its going up if demand becomes higher than supply. Statistical analysis :)

I thinks the bestway is to hoard  all bitcoin or any other altcoins because these delima  things happen of hard fork is not long last ,even the bitcoin price increase and the supply  demand is higher,i truly believe that  someday it will recover the crisis happens in digital currency.

I think there's no reason to hold shitcoins. The sooner you sell it the better
but if you have a project that you trust, it would be better to sell it after 25 October

This is very sensible. Crypto-Darwinism at its best.

I think after fork the price of altcoins are growing.
I believe really strong in that.

I think of buying altcoins. Not yet but in a couple of days because i think that they will go down even more (not all becuase Lietcoin for example just rose about 10% or so yesterday). I could imagine that after the fork Bitcoin will correct a and then the alt could rise again.

For me NO, because price of altcoins now are low. Most of altcoins now have dumped, as you can see the price of bitcoin pumps. For me, after the fork of bitcoin, estimated 2-3 weeks, altcoins price will get back to the top. Bitcoin fork have big effect on altcoins, as you can see the price of altcoins now. They are all red.

Unless of course you are a trader. Why would you be selling and buying while you jeopardize your position! The rave of the moment can not change a promising coin with a good project back by able hands!

I think i should sell them about a week ago, and now buy them back...But regarding the fork, too many people think that they will get free money after the fork, like they did with BCH. I don't think this will be the case here, because nobody will buy the forked bitcoin.

Selling at this low is not a good idea. if you believe in the coins you have then ignore the market and keep them.

i should sell them 2-3 weeks ago, they are bleeding right now. but i'm long time investor not a trader, so i believe my altcoins.

I will definitely not sell my value altcoin. I have held some for a while and benefit Immenselly from their development. Altcoin is real and whether we like it or not some altcoin are providing services bitcoin can not provide at this moment

Why not? Sometimes, the price of shitcoins will increase a lot of value while other altcoins decrease on the market. Example as now, we have see a MLM coin is REGA has pumped 100% its value in 24 hours, so if you can bought it in the past, you had have profits today :D

fork or no fork, I will hold my altcoins, i bought them because i believeed in them, iliked the project so I guess whathever how many fork there will be i'll keep them

why would you sell it? if it is a good project it will be a good project. The thing is, people who were selling it, to get ahold of as much bitcoin as possible, will (most likely) sell some of the forked bitcoin gold and buy back the altcoins from those good projects, for less money (because most of them are on a downfall) and the prices will go up again. so no, don't give up

Those are selling their altcoin before the hardfork to buy back again at the fork will be happening, i meant just like I sold all of my coins and just waiting for another chance to buy back again at the low price.
So, the simple reason to aim the decent profit through sold of all my coin before the fork of the bitcoin and ethereum will have happened.

This just like a trading method to join in the bottom and left from the top.

In my opinion I sould sell most of Altcoin before fork.
Cuz now most of peaople bey Bitcoin for getting new Bitcoinforkcoin.

That is what everybody is using as a strategy! It has to fail.

Do the opposite to make a LOT. But ALTS now while they are cheap. I don't think GOLD will come to anything.

I am having another strategy. Short btc and wait for the fork. Worst case scenario I lose half of the profits made so far.

Only if you're making profits. Don't sell at a loss. Too late now though

No, I will not. Comparing to the rising of BTC, the altcoins are relatively cheep now.

It all depends on your emotion. It is two way scenario, that is either the coin will dump or pump. The last forking of BTC by 2nd August 2017 saw a pumping up movement of BTC. This time around nobody knows the direction of  movement after  the forking. So keep what you can afford to lose.

There will be a lot of people selling their alts in order to get the most of the bitcoin gold fork so it might be the best time to buy those alts that you were holding off on so when people get their gold and dump it and come back to their alts you can make a little bit of profit, maybe,

I just sold a few my altcoin because I'm not sure about what happen after fork.
and I think price altcoin will increase back after fork.

But I doubt this scenario will be failure, you must to know most of the traders have experience from Bitcoin Cash also know the event airdrop from Bitcoin only a trap to make us sell our altcoin, only newbie are traders can not know that. Therefore, maybe, we have not much traders want to sell their altcoin to buy more Bitcoin.

The coming fork at the end of this month is definitely the main factor that pushes the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin holders should be happy, but many people who hold and invested in altcoins are panicly selling their altcoins for bitcoins to be prepared for Bitcoin Gold and Segwit2x.
The fact is, in some cases, users sell altcoins, despite the fact that some of them are extremely undervalued, and in a couple of days to buy them back at a reduced rate. That is, at the moment, the rising price of Bitcoin prevents the growth of altcoins.

If you got profits already then that is fine, if you have losses and bought during the altcoin bubble of this year then you need to hold, I know that is difficult to look at bitcoin and not have enough of it but you are only going to confirm your losses by selling so if I were I would not sell until I got profits, sometimes you are going to be on the right side of the market and sometimes you are going to be in the wrong side we just need to deal with it.

it is too early to sell or buy altcoin, mate
I expect the waves to come to around $ 2. We should be patient

If the fork is came in Nov the price will affected but it depend if BTC only is dump , how long will affected by the hard on Nov it cause the price to down. Or it will guide to pump twice as the normal price. But will sell my altcoin if the price is stable.

Great time to buy at the moment, but you have to pick good coins as those are more likely to recover first once the flood gates are opened (or you can pick some random pump and dump coins and hope to get lucky :P)

I think same happen as august segwit,   with bitcoin cash 's price $1000 first exchange and now bitcoin cash just  $300 .

The bitcoin price always rising up  every fork , next time with show up bitcoin gold not exception.

  Hold bitcoin is only option.

If it is shit coins, better to dump it or you will lose more October 25 is still more than a week so it means there are more dumps to come. better to cut the lose or lose it all.

What is the point of selling and losing more than 75% of the asset price to get + 5% to your bitcoins? It seems to me that the reason for this market movement is that most market participants do not know how to count.

Why would you even sell your altcoins when in fact, the forking will not affect these altcoins? Bitcoin forking will only be within the BTC network, and altcoins will remain the same, unless people will really sell theirs. Once the altcoin holders sell their altcoins and invested the money to bitcoin, then the possibility will be that altcoin prices will drop and BTC will rise up (just like what's happening now with LTC). But then, there's nothing to worry about your altcoins with the coming of BTC forking.

It is really a good idea to sell out altcoins before the new fork but if someone has any hesitation in doing this, he can save 25% to 35% of his altcoins so that he will not loss everything. It is not like I am saying that bitcoin will not make a progress, it definitely will and when that happens, keeping altcoins will become a regret. Now is the time to invest in bitcoin and get huge profits within two months.

If bitcoin has another run in the next few days the Alts could get hit again. Combine that with the fact that many might sell their Alts a few days before the Bitcoin fork so the Alts may go lower again. It will be tricky to play the Alts over the next month and a half.

Last time at the time of segwit,all people were buying the altcoin and there was a fear in the market that bitcoin will fall down.but every things happened opposite of thinking of every person. and big investor bought bitcoin and earned bitcoin cash coin and sold at high rate. but no body can say that now is good time to sell the altcoin.according to me we should not sell our altcoin at this time because big investor always play game against the small investor thinking. they create the environment to sell the altcoin by the social media and another ad gate way and people don't think like big investor.

Why sell now if you think price will bounce back after the fork?

I think it's too late, now it's about holding and watching people flowing back in alts

only God knows so try to make your prayer every night :))) make good research  and take your decision

With alts so cheap and another two forks coming it seems alts are going to suffer once again to maintain their prices, after the two forks I think that is the perfect opportunity to get some alts, the market of alts is very bearish but that cannot last forever and I think it is going to reignite once again in 2018, to me this looks like an easy way to make some profits without taking too many risks.

Right now is absolutely a great time to buy alts.. The thing is everyone is pulling out of everything to get there bitcoingold. In reality the ppl who instead of saving BTC for bitcoingold put there money into solid alts well they are being dumped on will make way more money then they would have on bitcoingold because after the fork is over everyone will go back to those same alts and profits will be massive for anyone who bought in. Just my opinion.

It's upto the users self interest, because the user himself needs to know his necessity and decide accordingly. At present looking the price pumping of bitcoin several users have moved their altcoin holdings towards bitcoin. Maybe the reverse process might happen if something worse happens by the November fork.

I am definitely buying more altcoins as their price drops, because i'm convinced they will rise back up after the fork

On the contrary. If you take a look at the charts and see the correlation between the Bitcoin rallys and altcoin dips you would say this is the right time to buy altcoins because sooner or later bitcoin will adjust (probably after fork) and atcoins will come back again. Obviously nobody in this forum is in position to say what will really happen, but altcoin comeback, IMO, is the most logical thing that will happen after the fork.

Many people selling at a loss their altcoins this days and this is the worst one can do, because most will probably be back buying them at jhigher prices when bitcoin adjusts and alts shine again.

i think the problem with selling is how much you may have lost on your bags. if much then I would not sell and just wait for recovery.

chance is that the new coin will not be worth much money and if you cannot get more than 1-2 btc it is not worth dumping your alts

I think at this time it's to late to sell your coins.

BTC has just increased to much in such short time. Best thing for now would be that you hold your coins.

Remember after bull rally of BTC there was always a bull rally of Altcoins.

definitely accumulate alt coins during this dip!

I think it really depends on what your personal vision and trading strategy is. If you trade and hold altcoins for the sole purpose of getting more bitcoin, I guess it's better to sell everything (if possible for a profit) for bitcoin. By doing so you won't suffer too much if the altcoin market takes a nose dive. You will also be taking advantage of the bitcoin gold hard fork. What will happen after the the 2X thingy is still a big question mark for me. But if you're really into alts you can decide to keep holding through. I'm personally not doing the latter. I have faith in bitcoin and will holdbitcoin through the two hardforks.

Usually I sell altcoin do not see when there is fork, I sell it depends on price, if the price is good and profitable for me then I will sell it. because my opinion is not all altcoin after fork the price will be high.

Sell that and exchange to bitcoin before the fork loads of money will be given to whats your balance on youre bitcoin wallet better give in to a wallet that supports private keys or has private keys that can import or export wallets coz youll need that after the forks release and i think youll be doing manual claiming to this fork . Well better save up to access the free coins before october 24 a one day gap  for more time to buckled up

Believe or not that is the truth, just look at the stock market how many people are invested in the stock market and yet they do not know a thing about it, I know a lot of people that talk to me about the stocks they have and yet they are always losing money even when they have hired managers to do that for them, so many people get into something without knowing what they are getting into.

I think you better sell you Altcoins because fork might cause decrease in the values of all other altcoin because investors sell altcoin and invest in Segwit2x or bitcoin gold. Don't call altcoin as "sh*tcoin" because they are also start like bitcoin and one day they will be rich in their value so it's upto you that which kind of secure coin you chose and invest.

That would greatly depends on whether you are HODL long term or short term. Why would you bother if you are holding it long term. For long term holders, investors will probably buy even more in when altcoin price drop as they believe in the project itself. For short term holders, that would depend if your desired ROI is hit, close to hit or trading at losses. I personally don't think anyone should sell at losses at this point of time (subject to change). If you are quite close to hitting your ROI then cashing out your principal amount might not be a bad idea.

we suggest for everybody no need to sell altcoin before the frok but if you need to more money or you have low money you can sell your altcoin. We have a many dollar so we should not sell any dollar.  we know after fork altcoin price will be a more pump.

You are buying projects because you think they will be a good investment. Good design will still be a good idea whether btc forks or not ... So why would you want to sell them? Leaving it for yourself will be more beneficial.

usually it time to sell some altcoin because before the fork the price of altcoin will drop
and you are just lucky if it go back in the same price again because bitcoin price always rise after the fork

Why? There is no reason that is going to change anything for you. There is nothing to worry about at all, but if there was, then it would be a direct BTC thing that you would need to deal with and the alts would be only indirectly affected.

This is not something that selling them for one coin or another is going to fix, it is just going to be a one way or the other thing.

Lot of bitcoin users have been moving to altcoins. The current price dropping has created a panic among the majority of the users and the same has caused people to fear about the upcoming fork. Still I have the trust on growth with altcoins that's are into my wallet.

yes you should sell those becuase of the fork but you can do not to sell it too it is on you own choice to do it if you see fit that selling it might be profitable for you then sell it if you dont , dont sell it just make your own research to avoid mistake

i prefer not to sell your altcoin because it only max the max limit of the coin and the price of the altcoin doesn't chance so i still prefer not because keep and and wait for the good selling price for you to get the most profitable profit

nope you should keep all the altcoin that seems to be has a good future for yourself and sell those who are dead coin and doesn't have future for you because in this you can get a lot of profit if you keep those good coins so if I we're you don't sell your altcoins keep it

I don't think that you should sell, but if you need money... only in this case

It is also possible that the price is going to increase after fork, so hodl is not a fail at all.

Don't let yourself or the market conditions dictate your market philosophy, yes a fork might make you some money in the short term, but as you saw it's very likely that something will happen (like the project getting canceled) and that's not something that you can now before hand or forecast. Don't sell the coins just because of the fork but try to focus on what will appreciate in the long term, if one of them will be a hit it will make you a lot of money, and liquidating that holding will essentially zero out your chances of getting there, because you are not invested in them. Many altcoins have a lot of potential, it's mostly about finding which one's and investing at the right time (no easy task I know).

if intending to buy altcoin in large quantities I think it should be considered again and wait for news for the next few weeks

I did not see any chance for altcoin increase now. Bitcoin have dump few day ago, but now it start to increase. Altcoin red day now return.

don't sell all the time and don't buy all the time. Try to stick with something a bit longer than a couple of days or weeks. Many are just trying to catch waves which is nothing that is possible, you can't foresee many of the things that are happening in the market and technical indicators don't always indicate where price will move, its more the external factors that are indicating the price, such as user adoption and regulatory changes. People have moved money into BTC in anticipation of the fork and see what happened, an external force, it was cancelled and now all the money in running back to the altcoins. Everyone wanted a piece of free coins and now that noone is getting it they are getting back to where they started, and lost a lot of money on the way.

If as a result of a fork, bitcoin ramifies with the formation of a new free coin, then there is a sense before the fork to get rid of stagnant and seemingly unpromising altcoyins, or simply to invest additionally in bitcoin. I'm still optimistic about the cash and bitcoin gold created this year. Each of them has its own merits and improvements in comparison with the original bitcoin and yet I do not advise to get rid of them. Especially good so far proved itself bitcoin cash with its high throughput of transactions. And with altayi it is necessary to act proceeding from their reliability and perspective.

Fork won't make any difference to me as I have invested my money in potential altcoins that has great future ahead and even if price crashes I have patience to hold my coins longer and I will only sell them when its giving me best profits on my investments as people get panic very easily when they see price dropping and sell their coins at a wrong time but I am not that kind of a person.

after fork buy altcoins and before fork sell the altcoins...

Lot of people and also my friends are cursing themselves for selling Altcoins to get into BTC for Fork. they thought Fork will benefit them with new BTG airdrop and BTC 2X airdrop, now they regret! :)
