Do you think the value of Bitcoin gold is priced into the price of BTC, thus we will see a drop similar to the value of Bitcoin Gold after the fork?   

we do not know what really happens to forking bitcoin.. for me in the middle of forking bitcoin will pump it or dump it and after forking bitcoin will rise until to the moon just like swaping of bcc. All of investor bitcoin he all avail the bitcoin gold. But i dont know what happens for the bitcoin gold will rise or dump.

I think btc will drop the value after the hard fork. Just like what happen before on bitcoin cash, btc value had a little dump. Yes, it is hard to speculate on the bitcoin price value maybe after the hard fork it will continue to increase.

Actually I am personally expecting to see the price of Bitcoin rise after the upcoming forks. Once they are out of the way I expect to see less turmoil and thus more people interested in buying Bitcoin. We saw a very similar outcome after the Segwit fork ended and Bitcoin’s price doubled.

no. i don't think bitcoin gold will be big enough to be commensurate with the fall. the fall will happen because everyone loaded up on their freebie and they'll run into alts but they're probably gonna be disappointed with the end result.

still, it was a fun lesson for alts and i fully expect more people will attempt the same tricks in the future to pump bitcoin and their new shitcoin too. bch set a precedent that i really hope fades away as soon as possible.

I think the price of bitcoin gold will not be the same price as bitcoin i think the price will be still depends in how much people are holding those bitcoin gold.. For we do not know what will be the real price of bitcoin gold and i think it should be price in demand and supply.. or it will be the same price of bitcoin cash when the fork was done..
The price of bitcoin after the fork expect that the price could be decrease because they are just investing right now in bitcoin because they wanted to get the benefits of getting free coins if you are holding lots of bitcoin in your wallet.. the same what happen in bitcoin cash.

Speculation thread here. As subject says I am expecting it to happen. Last we all expects that after the two coins spliting from bitcoin. We expect that we will face the situation dump more than 1000$ but fortunately bitcoin value and other top altcoins value bumps up. Hence, many investors are coming to invest on bitcoin and blockchain technology.
As we expected price bump in this time fork, bitcoin price may falls down as unexpected.

According to my knowledge on TA I wait dropping of BTC after it will reach 6400.

I don't think that the continued rise in the price of bitcoin has anything to do with the expected value of  the new forked coin, bitcoingold. It has all to do with the benefit the people' had with past experience with bitcoincash fork in August. Every btc holder now looks forward to the oncoming fork and wouldn't want to sell off. So, there are few btc in circulation  and this little supply is bending to the tune of the highest bidder thereby driving the price on the rise.

Based on what has happened in August 2017 when there was a splitting like what we may likely experience in 25 October, the price went upward and that is when we have a pump from $1650 to close to $4000. I don't think the price of bitcoin gold has been price up into bitcoin. Like bitcoin Cash has to chart it part I think bitcoin gold has to chart it's onw part too.  Though many people are saying that bitcoin gold is going to be great than bitcoin Cash I do not see different event here.we are not going to see an investment splitting but a hardfork and a splitting of mining. Don't expect too much to happen than what we have already experienced in the past.

Expect that there's a dip in this coming fork and Bitcoin Gold is just like the same of those alt coins that were created. Pricing of this new coin will depends from the market supply and demand on how much is the coin that is being distributed.

It will just be another shitcoin that tried to topple bitcoins. I don't think it will ever prosper and replace bitcoins as it is now. It will also just be free money for everyone holding bitcoins and that makes the whales a lot richer that it is now. I think it's becoming something of a profit generating scheme than just creating something good out of code. That's the sad truth about this.

Yes, the value of Bitcoin Gold should be already priced into the current price of BTC and we should see a BTC price drop similar to the value of Bitcoin Gold after the fork. The reason is that detailed information about Bitcoin Gold is already available, therefore people can incorporate this information in BTC price.

BTC will continue to rise even theres a fork. But If fork happened after BTC taps the top. There will be a great dump. I am planning to sell all my BTC as USD when we reached the top.

I think there will be a bitcoin drops happen after the hard fork. But in bitcoin gold for me it will not continuing to rise into the price of btc. Well, let's see what will happen after the hard fork on 25th.

I am pretty sure that there will be a drop on price after the fork and definitely this is a good opportunity to buy more coins. Also i am speculating that the price will also recover quickly and we will reach $7000 - $7500 before the year end.
 Of course this is all speculation but hoping to be true.

The last time there was a fork bitcoin went up in price after the hard fork, so I do not see why do you think the price of bitcoin is going to go down, besides there is going to be another fork in November and that is going to make people to want to hold their bitcoin and since that will make the supply of bitcoin to go down and the demand is going to go up then that is the perfect recipe for another rise in the price.

There is another fork just a month after 25th. Unless you are a day trader, i wouldn't worry much about it. Just stick with your Bitcoins and make sure to keep them safe. I think 2018 will be a great year for Bitcoin. There was always a thread popping up on the forums asking whether or not BTC will see 10k one day. Today, we ask "when" Bitcoin will se 10k. I guess i kind of made my point.   ;)

At the moment nobody can predict what may happen within 8 days,but nobody knows how will the market react to it. But it was time to see a downtrend since it was up for a lot of time, and has been rising in price very fast. I think that the price of btg will be around 150 dollars or maybe a little more but it all depends on how the market reacts once everyone receives their coins.

Everyone can have its opinion but it's a fact nobody really knows what is going to happen after 25th. IMO I think it will take a dip simply because the last rally was based on the possibility of BTC holders guarantee their share of Bitcoin Gold and if this the higher price we get before the fork than most certanly we will see a dip after people get their part.

But hey, I hope it keeps on rising.

I don't know man, as far as I've read Bitcoin gold's developer will have pre-mine coins before launching BTG. this is somehow fishy, BTG will be a shitty coin because of what the developers are planning and it might better to drop this coin before growing and having their own cult (like with bitcoin cash)
BTC drop would likely to happen because of "FUD" and fear on the price decreasing after the fork on 25th.

I think it will down like usual because we have already face the fork before and I think the conditions will be the same too. but the price will bounce up again and reach the highest price again. but there is only our prediction because we don't know what will happen later and if the price is really down, then its the best time for us to buy bitcoin at lower price. I think many people won't let their chance for the right time to buy because its difficult to find the right moment when the price is down.

There are high chances that price will keep rising

Yes it may happen, when the occurrence of hardfork and bitcoin gold created. bitcoin prices are predicted to decline due to an indication of fragmented demand from the public. I am worried as happened to Bitcoincash, initially bitcoin price decreased but a few weeks later bitcoin price back to normal treck and we can see better bitcoin price. but the panic made me very worried, I do not know what steps I will take. For some people that patience will be the deciding factor of how they will lose or not.

We dont know what actual price of bitcoin and bitcoin gold after the fork. Maybe if the price of bitcoin gold is high possible the price of bitcoin decrease. Because they get funds to the bitcoim so the cap of the bitcoin will dercease and transfer to the bitcoin gold. Thats I think correct me If Im wrong . But I hope the price of bitcoin and bitcoingold will continue to increase so we can make a lot of profit.

If we are going to check the history and charts, look at August 1 price $2,783 USD, after that it dropped to $2,728 USD August 3 and that was the lowest after the fork last August. It may slightly drop but with the recent media attention that Bitcoin is receiving more and more people wants to try and invest in Bitcoin and that means increase in demand. That's why speculators are looking at $7,000 USD before end of this year or might be higher because of the demand in the coming holidays. 

is not it the other way around? I mean, we all see bitcoin a few times hard forks, but bitcoin prices continue to rise.will it not happen again? whether bitcoin will decrease or vice versa?

Although nobody is yet confirm about what will happen after the next fork but I expect that If BTC price will not increase rapidly then there must be a gradual increase, but i am not expecting any type of dump in BTC price. However I believe that Bitcoin Gold will never be like BTC.

My advice to you if you worry about current price, you would be to wait another month or two for some of the current prices to come down another and then go out and purchase Bitcoin again.

always but we cannot speculate cuase bitcoin value always fluctuation there's a chance bitcoin well go up or go down according to the  demand of supply from the market . As of know there are some negative prediction about after fork but let just wait for the result maybe bitcoin can survive and continue to climb.

Yes it seems likely btc price will drop after the fork, because most of the many people will selling it simultaneously in the moment price soaring very high when fork is happening. But I do not know how the reality, what may also many people will still holding their btc when price are soaring at that time or even will selling it.

Fork will probably cause the price of BTC to go up right? I don't see why people aren't going to dump bitcoin gold and then purchase Bitcoin as they did with the original fork and with bitcoin cash. It seems like that is what will be happening with these up and coming forks.

Amen. Truth be told, this trend of creating shitty altcoin with bitcoin in their name every couple weeks has me worried. It will confuse the hell out of people that are coming into crypto from now on. Alas, there's not much we can do but not use these shitty copies.

If the prospect of Bitcoin Gold really represented a network split, then yes. But the thing is, it doesn't. Bitcoin Cash probably diluted some investment away from BTC (some people put money into BCH instead of BTC), but I don't think Bitcoin Gold will have that effect. I think it's doubtful that most major exchanges (like Coinbase, Bitflyer, Bitstamp) will support BTG trading. Bitfinex probably will, because they offer trading on lots of new shitcoins, no matter the fundamentals.

But I think that since it will only be added to altcoin exchanges like Bitfinex, Bittrex and Poloniex (maybe), that it will function more like any other altcoin. It just has a different distribution mechanism (dividend/airdrop).

There was already a small dip and recovered in an instant. I just think that even we all know that fork before is not as deadly as we think, many will still panic within the period of fork and after fork but I am sure that it will eventually pump in the coming weeks.

Probably not. Bitcoin gold fork isn't getting a lot of attention nor the support, so it's unlikely people would sell after that fork. On the other hand segwit2x fork is the fork that we should be looking forward to it can cause major turmoil in bitcoin economy.

That is possible, but we cannot says if it is happen because if they review the fluctuation graph of bitcoin. It is hard to get rhythm of bitcoin movement in the market. However I'm still holding my bitcoin in my wallet, because even their price is move up and down I believe that in the end bitcoin value were raised up, more than I expect. Since bitcoin fluctuation was so unpredictable I guest it's better to hold it for the mean time until it will become stable.

Market might not react in the same way always as hype of bitcoin gold is not that high like it used to be for bitcoin cash. Yes during august fork price of both bitcoin and bitcoin cash was dropped significantly after fork but price of bitcoin recovered faster than expected while bitcoin cash is still struggling to reach its ATH price of $1000.

Yes no one know about the future, but still i will like to say that people are still interested in bitcoin, we have good experience from previous hardfork and i think that this time we are again expecting the same result. i think that bitcoin price will even increase after hardfork, because currently people are not investing money in bitcoin as they want to remain safe tell the hard fork and once it become over they will again start investing money in bitcoin.

In my opinion the Gold fork could be the start of a bearish phase with possibly very hefty price turbulences, but the real "trigger" would be the Segwit2x fork and associated dangers.

'Till a couple of days before the Segwit2x fork I think price could stay over $4000 (or even $5000). But then heavy speculation on worst case scenarios (with heavy short-selling) could begin. There are three different dangers:

1) that Segwit2x achieves so much hashrate that the Bitcoin Core chain will become unusable with very large block times (>80%), users panic and the price crashes; later it may recover and even win the "battle" but a nice "dip" would happen;
2) that Segwit2x achieves so much hashrate that serious (51%) attacks on the Core chain could happen (>90%) - it's not very likely, but may be the case. In this case Segwit2x will probably be the leading chain afterwards.
3) that if Segwit2x fails, an "angry" miner cartel of 51% attacks Segwit itself. I am still not 100% convinced about that threat, but it's probably more than a crazy conspiration theory. That could oblige Bitcoin to hard-fork to another algorithm, and would be very, very bearish (and maybe bullish for Bcash).

These risks are known, so after the Gold fork people will invest less, and investment will practically cease just before the Segwit2x fork triggering turbulences.

Seems you spoke my mind word by word !!

Absolutely,the scarcity of btc due to its low supply to high demand because investors are holding on to btc due to the fork will DEFINITELY lead to high price of btc after the fork. Such is phonenmenom and not a miracle whatsoever !!!

It is glaring to me that bch outcome would be better than than bitcoin gold both in the short term and long term. So i am not expecting much from bitcoin gold.

Moreover,bitcoin gold dev team are kind of shady !!!

You are HIGHLY wrong.
The opposite will be the event thats gonna happen.

Absolutely !
Well said !!

I'm almost positive that those who dumped before the last fork are kicking themselves right now. They probably thought the price would go down; they now know that the price will rise after the fork based on how many people will dump the forked coin and buy straight Bitcoin.

Wow...,earlier on my post,i used a particular word to describe BTG which you also used !
BTG is nothing but "FISHY"

Maybe Bitcoin gold (BTG) should be rename Bitcoin fishy (BTF)

Btc hard fork already being priced. After hard fork we will see a price drop due jumping in altcoins.
Altcoin prices are very low now. whales will start buying after fork.

Same goes with BCC and many people though that bitcoins would dump badly after that BCC came out but the confusion has been eliminated when the BCC came out and no investors splits there decision upon on what coin they would choose. And those events will be the same with BCC since the main scenario for what I see is the dumping of the bitcoin golds and people would go again to the original ones.

I'm not sure if the price of Bitcoin gold will be as high as bitcoin but I think it's not just like the bitcoin cash. Bitcoin may drop after the fork like what happen on the first one but I'm sure it will soon recover and will give a good value besides since the demand in bitcoin continuously increasing I don't think the value will ever go down again.

This speculation is a speculation that I like, because here we will find a lot of opinions. Many will say bitcoin will drop after a hard fork and many people say bitcoin will increase more than before. I agree with your opinion, of course we will never know and we will not be able to predict it. It is clear that BTG prices will not reach like the price reached by bitcoin.

Actually you can read so many funny,impossible and amazing predictions and its good thing since it can make bitcoin more speculative and it can create little exposure to come up and maybe this little talks can make bitcoins go pump since it can hype the ongoing fork. And also I really don't think for BTG to come to the level of BTC since there are so many factors that needed to consider and the BTG holders will just want to earn with the current hype happening on that coin.

We can most probably see a price drop in bitcoin and also the mining profitability will be more in case of bitcoin gold in the first few days as like that of bitcoin cash. So I will keep an eye on bitcoin gold and its mining if there would be any as I don't want to miss it like in the case of bitcoin cash.

BTC Gold has such a minor interest from bitcoin community, that the impact of the value will be very low.

  The real topic now is the Segwit2X fork.

It's possible that there will be a drop after the fork because every one will turn away their bitcoin gold immediately and will just get the profit from it. It's either everyone will just get the profit and will go away and hold those profits or they'll put it again into another alt coin of their choice.


Well this is what I observed too on what's happening now.

No people will hold their recently bought Bitcoin as long as we not have any clarity if B2X will definitely happen or not.
And in terms of mining, Bitcoin Gold is GPU mining! Therefore this won't have any impact on Bitcoin's hashrate!
What could happen: People sell their Bgold and increase their Bitcoin position in anticipation of the B2X fork.

Everyone can have its opinion but at the moment nobody can predict what may happen within 8 days,but nobody knows how will the market react to it. But it was time to see a downtrend since it was up for a lot of time, and has been rising in price very fast. I think that the price of btg will be around 150 dollars or maybe a little more but it all depends on how the market reacts once everyone receives their coins.

So 3% of a BTC ? Market cap at 420,000 BTC it'll be 6th...

Only certain is that everything is highly unpredictable, and who knows what kind of manipulations can take place in those days.I believe BTC will rise to 10k but this doesn't mean this must happen immediately after fork. It might happen fudsters and other trololo masters win the game for some short time..BTG is good opportunity for GPU miners so they will switch to it, this will bring new troubles for altcoins..Such as ETC ETH ZEC.. Price can fall drastically. But this won't last long ..Good opportunities for traders.

a drop isn't guaranteed. my bet is to hold btc for now, get the btg, and then wait for the right time to dump btg

This is only a speculation and theres no big eveidence that it will happen  after the fork,what if the opposite happens instead of drop we will see a massive increase on the price after the fork. Like what happen on last hard fork,  they say that bitcoin will crash going to $2000 ,but they were all wrong.

Why wrong? I remember before the hard fork, the price of Bitcoin has dumped to below $2,000. That is the time to buy and no one know it is the preparation for next fork of Bitcoin. Therefore, it also make you have wrong through about this drop.

yes it is always happen that the price is drop before the hard fork and this time we can be prepare if somehow the price really getting down although we are not sure how much will it drop. at least we know that this thing is happen over and over and we only need to waiting when the time is coming and get prepare. without having preparation, we only gets panic and selling our bitcoin without thinking that the price will be increase again.

i see no negative effect for bitcoin after 25th, it may be drop for a little while but it will recover afterwards, if else goes wrong with a chain split, then that would be the biggest fear i ever imagine.chain split affects coin split and may lead to price instability, but the bitcoin core's dev team won't allow to do that.
If we are still basing on the supply and demand without having concern about the forking issues then bitcoin's price is still continue to rise.

I think it will same like bitcoin cash and the price of bitcoin will drop a bit. I don't know is bitcoin gold can have a good price or not but if we look at the bitcoin cash, i'm not sure bitcoin gold can have a big price like bitcoin. I'm sure once people got their bitcoin gold, some of them will sell it directly.

If you look deeply there was a massive dump just after fork but that didn't last long, price of bitcoin recovered from that dump and actually set new ATH price.

I am expecting drop to below $5k after fork and recovery to over $7000 within end of this year.

Dumping is caused by speculators in order to buy back on low prices. After the fork price will head down to 4000$ level which we will not see this price again after this year.

In my opinion it is possible to reach the price of bitcoin up to 6200$ by the end of this month but i think before the fork it will decrease by a little and will start to increase again after fork until it reach the 6200$.

i don't really expect any dump as big as $1700 (to go down to $4000) just because of "speculators". there was already that kind of dump and price went down to $5100 and even after the 25th if people cash out when they get their BTG, i still don't expect a big drop.
unless it comes with some kind of FUD to cause a bear market.

At least before the hard fork, the price of Bitcoin usually dump ~10%. As past days, you also see the price of Bitcoin has dumped to below $5,200 from $5,900. Of course, it is recovering and try to breakout $6,000 at the moment after flash crash.

Maybe the value will drop a day or two before the fork and maybe a week after the fork, the price will increase even higher than its price. Just like after the bcc fork, the price of bitcoin went high.
So, after the fork the price of bitcoin will be going to $6k+

Even now we do already reached $6000 price point which i can really expect that we do really even hit up $6500+ price when those holders did already get their free btg and convert it on bitcoin itself and the thing here is that those holders will surely comeback into alts which we can really expect price would sure corrected on those time when that thing happen. Price of BTG would be lower as expected just take a look on BCH.

That could be a possible scenerio.
But anyway, I believe that Segwit2x Token+Bitcoin+Bitcoin gold, combined, are going to be worth much more then what bitcoin worth now.
Just like it used to happen with the bitcoin cash fork, the fork happened but the 2 tokens were worth much more then what the original bitcoin has been traded for.

But always remember, nothing is impossible at the bitcoin world.

Bitcoin is going down apparently after the hardfork homie, that's what most of them are predicting including me. You can't just expect the price to be increasing forever, either it will be stable or it will go down. But the odds are against the former and the latter is most likely to happen.

I think it is not for sure that after hardfork bitcoin price will drop, although people will be taking some to get sell and book the profit, but it will not effect the price of bitcoin so much. i think that we can only expect a correction and after that the price will once again start increasing and this time hopping to cross 7000$.

With no doubt, yes Bitcoin price will definitely see a drop after the Hardfork. Bitcoin has touched new heights and shown an impressive growth as we reached near the day of introduction of Bitcoin Gold or BTG. People and investors have highly invested in Bitcoin which made the price of Bitcoin to rise at a faster speed because everyone wanted free BTG, which will be probably distributed at a rate of 1 BTC = 1 BTG. And one should expect a dip in the price after the fork as once people have received their free BTG, they will start dumping Bitcoin for higher value causing a drop in Bitcoin price.

It seems to me that immediately after the fork, the price of bitcoin will sharply rise. But it will not last long, maybe several hours. And then the price will fall. The most important thing is that it does not fall very much

I am sure bitcoin price will drop during and after fork. Then it will still rise again and it will recover just like what happen on the last fork but we are not so sure on how much it will rise again. Maybe not just like as high as the value today but it is not impossible that bitcoin will still reach what it did now. Hitting over $6000 will possibly happen again after the fork.

After the fork, the price must fall. All users who wanted to get free bitcoin gold will start to sell their bitcoins to buy altcoins which is now strongly fell in price. When prices are equalized, we will see the real price of bitcoin. I think she will be at 5000-5500 dollars. After adaptation to the new prices, we will again see growth.

I think this is the case, though I do expect BTC to continue rising until the day of the fork, I then expect a very sudden fall back down to about 5k.

If the fall is so insignificant - then we need not be afraid. But if bitcoin drops to 3000, many will worry and panic sell coins

it can drop the price is growing since yesterday so a fall shouldn't occur but i found out that this growth is only happening because of the new coin I'm not sure the price shouldn't fall according to me if it does i will sell it right away

The price of bitcoin gold is depending on how many people will be doing transactions with it by the time of hard fork. But what's going to happen is the same like bitcoin cash, at the first moment of it the price can possibly pump but later on it will decrease because of sell orders and it will make everyone to sell their bitcoin gold. I don't have hope with this coin anymore, their website isn't even strong in terms of security, they've got an attacked DDOS.

I do not know about that, this year has been the year of crypto, altcoins went up a lot and now bitcoin is doing the same, I do not know how much energy we have left, personally I think the next year is going to be a year of stagnation where not much is going to happen, the price is going to move of course but not that much, I think we are not going to see 10k until 2019.

Right now yes i think it is priced into bitcoin's current price like we've seen with bitcoin cash.

However, i don't think that we're going to see much of a drop off if any at all. Just like bitcoin cash, after it happened the price actually boosted up. The fact of the matter is that pre-fork there is a lot of uncertainty and after fork, price may actually go up.

The bitcoin will drop after the fork but it will rise and boost up again to break new records  ;D

let me tell something NO ONE has any idea what will happen after the hard fork; don't base your financial decisions on people's opinion here. sure if someone has an educated guess try and understand their reasoning and come up with own opinion.

BTC drop after fork 25th yes for sure because people want get free bitcoingold
then sell ....the price will drop to 3000 again

I expect a hard dump after Bitcoin holders have made good their claims for the resultant forked coin, bitcoingold. The plunge will hit the market once the whales pull out their money and the so many small holders will sell off so hard in panic that they will run into loses. I see Bitcoin retracing to the $3000 region. However, if the retracement and corrections are minor to just with $4000 region, then that means Bitcoin will likely get to $10,000 before the end of 2017.

well, I do not really expect that to happen, but it looks like it's really going to happen. because there will be so many people who sell the bitcoin they have. besides, I also hope that altcoin price will go up, because at the moment, altcoin price really goes down.

I don't think the value of bitcoin gold can beat the bitcoin price, i think it will be same like bitcoin cash case. The price of bitcoin gold will fall after the hype is done. What i'm afraid is after the fork finish, the bitcoin price will fall or not. Because most of people buying bitcoins because of bitcoin gold.

I don't think there will be a bitcoingold pump at all. Bitcoincash had some heavy duty supporters (like Jihan of Bitmain), but bitcoingold looks to be a bit shady with a premine. So I doubt it will get pumped.

At the August month ,Bitcoin Cash is come into process.What it do to the bitcoin.I think nothing.It only raise the value of bitcoin in the market.Before the August the price of bitcoin is only 2500$.I think all of us know this.But after the fork ,the price of bitcoin is increased gradually and in a periods of 10 days,it raise the value of 3500$.A 1000$ increase in 10 days.So like that after the fork the price may reduce before the fork value and then it will get it's original vaue and again start to raise day to day.

You got that right.

That's very unlikely, considering that there aren't any (known) insanely wealthy entities standing behind this project. People only 'hype' about this chain split because they assume it will be similar to how things went with Bitcoin Cash, but as I said, that's very unlikely. People are just speculating, ahum, gambling their money on a positive outcome, and that's really it.

Not only because of the hype that will be vanishing, but also because this coin is extremely obsolete in the altcoin market. It adds nothing of significance to the table -> it's nothing more than a blatant attempt to obtain millions in profits instantly, where they then move to the next split project. It's not the first, and definitely not the last.

Again, speculation. If the price does happen to fall down because some greedy idiots were buying themselves into Bitcoin, solely for the purpose of obtaining split coins, then so be it. Nothing that you can do about it.

I think that the price will drop definitely. The fact that people are holding bitcoins for the purpose of receiving the free coins I have no doubt. I have my doubts about the appropriateness of this. If you now to sell bitcoins for $ 6000 and not to bitcoin gold can be much more profitable than selling bitcoin at $ 5,000 after the fork and get the coins which will cost a few cents.

I think that many people here mix the bitcoin gold fork up with the 2x fork. Simply because the dates for both forks are very close together.
And I suppose that is exactly what the inventors of bitcoin gold are counting on.

To me the bitcoin gold split is irrelevant to bitcoin.
But the 2x fork is not. In my eyes the price increase of bitcoin that we see at the moment is a result of this fork.
To be on the safe side, people buy bitcoin now in order to have both coins after the fork.

People here just read that there will be a fork this month, and just assume that it will have negative consequences. Another part of the people start looking at forks as being a profitable event, as in free money falling out of the sky landing directly in their pocket. In order to understand the difference between both forks, people at minimum need to have a basic level of Bitcoin understanding, and even this basis understanding isn't there. Result is that people infect each other with false information, all because their greed is blinding them. Either way, we'll only find out if this increase comes from people buying because of the fork this month, once the fork has actually taken place.

If bitcoin drops to $3000 it will start a new age and in such case in next days it will break any records and previous tops. Bitcoin at 3000 would encourage everyone to buy as much as they can, because such cheap price won't be seen anywhere near in the future. And knowing that bitcoin has once hit $6000, it's therefore a safe x2 your investment and even more if you decide to hold it longer. Bitcoin is too established and hyped for any panic selling to happen. Lows mean only more investors will be keen on buying.

To be honest, I haven't even seen many wallets openly discuss support of Bitcoin gold. The only exchange I've heard that will add the Bitcoin gold balance is yobit. Bittrex is under some heat as of now, but even they have stated that they will not support the Bitcoin fork. For most people, I don't think they will be able to claim their BTG asap.

Thanks for the answers!

I dont think BTG will live up to expectations !!

it actually may :D
the expectation of it is pretty low and there is no wallet that you can easily use to dump it so in the end it may be having a fun time staying on top without anybody being able to sell anything.
for example compared to bitcoin cash which already had multiple clients, full node, SPV wallet (electrum) and web wallet. this one has nothing. so if you have your coins on exchanges you can sell otherwise you may have to wait a month or two before you can even find a wallet for it.

Sure it does not have SPV wallet but I disagree with the not having any wallet at all and there are already some exchanges as well which you can dump your coin hopefully if you even see anyone who is ready to take the risk to buy. It is firstly going to be worthless on arrival anyway, so I wont be surprised on that one.
However, about 3 wallets are already supporting them (Coinomi, freewallet and guarda), and hopefully some other ones will come up after, but for now we just keep our fingers crossed on the ones available. You can check their website, http://btcgpu.org/ for reference.

well, smaller number of people keep their coins on exchanges. so there won't be as much dumping pressure as you might expect. also these wallets you listed can not support it since the code is not yet even ready. it will take time for the code of BTG to get ready then it will take even more time for those wallets to integrate it into their systems.

p.s. BTG is currently worth 0.078BTC

I think big whales are the most that will Hodl their bitcoin there are sure a little percentage of people that have 10 and up bitcoin that will hold their coin for the said free coin they can get, well that is the target for most whales, but considering the risk involve in it many would consider selling their coin that is why there will still be dumping and the price would sure plummets down for sure.

It seems to me that bitcoin price falls because lots of users have learned the lesson the fork in August. Bitcoin cash they have received for free is worth nothing and if you sell the coins advance you can earn more than give useless coins. The bitcoin gold trust even less.

Few more hours left and we still don't know what's going to happen. But free bitcoin gold coin is free money so whether it will be pumped or not as long as you will sell them immediately you will not regret it either. We just have to see for ourselves when the time of hard fork happens for sure there will be a lot of people selling this immediately and let's see if there will be a big support for this coin.

It's pretty unclear as to what's going to happen but over all I'm not too worried. I don't believe bitcoin will go down after the bitcoin gold fork. The price of bitcoin wasn't really affected when bitcoin cash forked. I think we will a lot of money move back to the altcoins after the 2x hardfork. When things will go back to 'normal'.

It's already being traded at yobit and I don't know on how did these people got their bitcoin gold. The price seems to be good at 0.08 BTC and this will make the price of bitcoin higher again as there will be a lot of people that will have free bitcoin again after selling their bitcoin golds so we just have to keep on waiting for that day. Anyone knows on where did these people got their own bitcoin gold? Check it out. http://yobit.net/en/trade/BTG/BTC

If BTCGold keep its promise to bring more decentralization, it could work very well !

 If I could mine some btc-like coins with my computer, I would be glad to do it.

Actually There was Fork 1 August and after that bitcoin drastically increased its value.
there maybe possibility that Bitcoin will gonna rise after Hard fork BTG 25th October.

The GPU miners did Ethereum in 2017, so ETH turning to POS will have a bigger influence than any bitcoin fork of the week could accomplish.
Your second option would be XMR which is not forking, they got some continual upgrade process for changing their code.

In contrary, even bitcoin value is raising up after segwit last August. I think this is not enough basis to jump immediately to the conclusion. In my opinion this coming hardfork was give us an intense decision if what coins we are supports. I know it give us a hard decision to select this time. In addition we never know if the value of bitcoin will suffer this time or it will give a chance to be more expensive, we can see it after hardfork.

BTC will only experience a correction due to the Fork, but will shoot up to an all time high of $10k

It is quite obvious, proponents of the BTC Crypto have learned from experience that they have an upper hand in the entire community, thus the only factor that can potentially mitigate the up-flow challenge isn't the fork itself but corporate FUD.

yes bitcoin will fall today and  tomorrow and after 25 th . because Everyone got a free bitgold ( price 100usd )
Everyone thought the price btg will be +400 at least  :'(

 

 

It was not long ago when people were wondering if we were going to see bitcoin at 1000 dollars ever again and now we are wondering when we are going to reach 10000 dollars is funny how things can change so fast in less than a year and the best part is that bitcoin still has a long way to go since this year has not ended, I will not be surprised if we saw bitcoin above 8000 before the end of the year.

Once after the fork the new chain will be functioning independently with its value and market capital. As a part of the new asset correction takes place. Here the correction might lead to price drop and soon this will start to increase and reach new heights.

Which was predicted way before the Forking, that it would rise and fall straight away after forking. This will happen again with another forking is due in November probably.

BTG live up to expectation ? Are we even expecting anything from a shit coin ?

BTG will be dumped very fast even by the devs themselves, and I see the coin as just a scam. Everyone will quickly want to pick up the little value they can quickly get from it as fast as possible. BTC on the other hand is what I do not see dropping after the 25th fork, it is possible we see a pretty much more rise or a stable price before the November fork.

It may drop since some uaers might spend it tp do more tradings now, some isers were into spending it in a way to make it grew by themselves or their own strategy pf investing or trading it than stucking it on theor wallets. It may dump awhile but definitely will recover.

And I would not be surprised if I saw the Bitcoin price go back to $4,000 before increase and reach to $8,000 as your said. But in my opinion, at least this target need to wait until next year, isn't before the end of this year :D

well we really cant predict how the movement will go from here so after the fork some of the holders are selling their coins for benefits and will jumped to
another alts while waiting again for panic holders to dumped their btc and for sure it will just repeated itself that it will be just bought by the whales and
hold again.

i think after users get BTG and try to back to BTC (because they can gain more than BTG) price will increase so that i think price will down to 5000$ and back rise to 6500$

The drop in pricing is due to the people making profit out of the fork. The BTG fork cause a bit of disrupt in price but not that large. After the fork, BTC will go up again stay on that trend until the year ends.

For now we can't feel the effect of hard fork, also they cannot see immediately the consequence of this segwit. Probably bitcoin value were not damage too much because when I review their price in the market it was on normal price. Maybe we need to wait for one week to see the effect of hard fork to bitcoin, hopefully bitcoin earn good result after segwit.

The supply has decrease due to the fact that many have traded their btc for btg or they have converted it back to altcoins. I'm expecting this to happen once again on november where another fork might happen. Price will increase before fork then go back down again after, I presume.

Which will be a terrible mistake bitcoin is going to keep on climbing, those that panic sell are only going to lose money with that maneuver, if the price dropped that much I will buy bitcoin at that price, that will be a perfect point to get into bitcoin since we will be very far way from the all time high so the chances of getting profits will be great.

the drop is just a normal scenario, we must take a look at investments not to get easy money, we are in it fora long period of time. the drop is just an adjustment, a correction in the market, since bitcoin gold was hyped, the value of bitcoin itself soared high as well, this is due to the fact that once you have bitcoin before the the you will also received an airdrop, boosting the value of your investment, and as an investor, one of the fundamentals is to buy high and sell low, we should also take into consideration there are altcoins, and during this period the value of altcoin had dropped, and there are a lot of altcoins that are very promising, there is now way, investors will not look into it, and after gaining value on bitcoin, we could easily trade it with promising altcoins, this is what i see that had happened, but the drop of bitcoin will not lead to its death, bitcoin just had a correction and now we are seeing the real value of bitcoin, we just don't need to worry since this is expected in investments.

I am suprised the price is still at this high poin.I had expected it to go under 5k.
Perhaps the sell pressure will start after this large of Segwit 2x. Anyway happy i am holding for the long term. Because on 2 years I am quite bullish.

Yeah, the price is still high up until now, bitcoin price did not get dump this time, but is the hard fork already done? I don't feel anything last Oct. 25th. But after that I think a lot of us still hold their bitcoin and did not do panic selling since they know that bitcoin will still pump high after the hard fork.

Many speculations and predictions were made regarding the fall of bitcoin after the introduction of fork of bitcoin gold . But that is totally dependent on how many people actually invest in bitcoin gold . The current price of bitcoin remains high and there is no major dip witnessed after the introduction of fork .
In the past , many such forks had happened which lowered the value of bitcoin for a small period of time but later on bitcoin came flying high . 

I did not feel the fork last october 25 because the price of bitcoin on that day is stable and still increasing. But they have another fork and I think the effect will feel so be readt maybe the price will increase more or it will drop . We don't know what happem to the price if its decrease but for sure more people want bitcoin become stable or increase the price. Whatever happen to bitcoin Im always there .

As expected, one the fork was done, money flowed out of BTC into alts. The initial appreciation was to hold btc for the fork, and then sell it later. There was a slight panic selling immediately after,but now it has recovered from $5.5k to $5.8k. That downward trend is done, and correction is happening again after the swing.

Bitcoin value will drop but only in the slightest margin maybe at $5,500 only because lot of people now already learned and hardened by their past experiences during China ban and JP Morgan criticism, that only those did not experience the past events will probably will panic and sell their bitcoin. Anyway if the price fall at $5,000 or below it will be an opportunity to buy bitcoin at the cheaper price.

I am not sure what kind of impact will Bitcoin Gold have on Bitcoins price, but I don't think that they will be in direct connection. Bitcoin Gold will be separate cryptocurrency, therefor it will have its own price. How much will it be worth... I don't know. But one thing will be for sure, Bitcoin price will go a bit down after fork. Also it will go up after segwit2x. Bitcoin price always rise.

I think we have seen that BTG fork had no measurable impact on the price of bitcoin.
Although it has been now six days after the fork, there are only a few exchanges that actually trade BTG.
The major ones are investigating the software and have not decided what to do.
I think that is not a good start for a new currency.
Maybe BTG will help to prevent other possible forks in the future.

But the expectations for bitcoin gold were never high, I think that most of the forum knew bitcoin gold was a shit coin, I never expected anything out of it especially since they announced there was not going to be any replay protection when I saw that  any possible interest that I may have in the project vanished, I’m not going to risk losing my bitcoin so I can get a few extra dollars dumping that coin.

People are easily shaken by a sudden dumo in the market prixe causing them to sell their coins even at low price and making the price even lower. The fork that had happened in August had me and I really do regret selling at that time,  bitcoin eventually recover and its price price is already tripled. I have loss big time because of panic selling and it had served as a lesson to me to never go panic selling even if many people are.
