Will the bitcoin price decline after bitcoin gold?
I read that many now will continue to sell bitcoin and buy altcoins.
Should I buy bitcoin now or wait?

It's impossible to know what the value of bitcoin will do. The crypto market in incredibly volatile. There is no telling how far it will drop and getting the timing perfect is nearly impossible. You just have to consider the time frame. If you believe that btc is going to be worth more in two years then it is now, which I do, then go ahead and buy during this dip. If you're going to need the money you're investing in btc in the short term, then don't do it. Any btc you buy today will go up and down in value dramatically. You will see it loose hundreds of dollars worth of value in a few hours, and also gain that much in as short a time. The question is whether you think that the technology btc represents is going to grow in uptake and transform the way that the global economy is oranised. If you do, then it doesn't really matter what price it is today since it will be worth much more down the road.

Bitcoin gold is inconsequential. The current alts bounce back and btc retrace is more likely because of chinese reopening exchanges.

Possibly that part of people who bought BTC to get BTCGPU during the fork now will sell it to buy other alts. But also possible that somebody will be waiting for more price than now :) Anyway its true - it`s high volatile and not predictable...

bitcoin gold is a joke dude. Don't think serious things about gitcoin gold.
Its just started to fall and will fall until it hit 1 satoshi.

The possibility of bitcoin price will decrease after bitcoin gold appears if you want to buy bitcoin not now because you will incur a loss so I suggest to buy altcoin and wait for the price back to normal and increase (only suggestion)

Yes that is the scenario i've see since many bitcoin gold holders are start to dump there coin and change it with fiat and same goes with the bitcoins since those past holders will sell there hodl share since the Fork hype is done and some of them earned some good profits already. And most likely this is the day for the alts to became more alive since the traders will came back to trade good with crypto's.

I'm not sure whether it's a joke or something a serious issue, but bitcoin gold fork hasn't made a big change over the bitcoin. Even in the past during the bitcoin cash it made a big marginal change in the value of bitcoin. It's expected for a price decrease and now the same has started to grow big in value.

I believe that once bitcoin gold trading comes out to the major exchanges( right now you can only trade future contracts on bitcoin gold).
People will sell their bitcoin gold to buy legacy chain bitcoin , which will make the price of bitcoin to go higher, that's why I believe that buying bitcoin before the forked token goes out on exchanges could be a great decision.

I am very surprised that Bitcoin gold has been taken so seriously, regarding the lack of information/support/capacity this *team* has made the proof of...

I think you have missed the opportunity to buy bitcoin when the price is low around $5200-$5300 just right after the hard fork. The price is going up again and moving to $5700. The selling of bitcoin cash and the subsequent shifting back to altcoins is over I think. Because bitcoin is now back to $5700 and altcoins are all going green now. But if you really do not want to missed the boat again, I will advise you to buy bitcoin today, specially if you are really on it for the long haul. And then once their is a price correction, you can buy more bitcoins for yourself. At least your in a good position to really gain returns when bitcoin price goes to $6000-$7000 before the end of the year. And if the price didn't reach that but instead experienced dip, then your strategy is to buy more. So its a win-win situation for you.

No one know more say price will back to 5,000 (so better to buy)  but price keep rise

BTG is altcoin that try to use bitcoin name to make easy start .

all time is best to buy bitcoin

Am I the only one who hasn't picked up Bitcoin Gold yet?  :(

We are at around $5950 now, it's going to break out upwards if my analysis is correct, I see an ascending triangle.

The speculation with the fork is over, the dip already happened, now I see us hitting a new all time high before November 19th when the segwit2x hardfork will happen.

Once the segwit2x scam is defeated, after a dip, we will go towards $8000, we could even hit $10000 by christmas, depending on how much damage Jeff Garzik and the rest of idiots behind segwit2x cause to the price.

Don't worry about bitcoin gold, it won't that much of an impact in btc as you may think. The price will go up/down (no one can be sure) no matter what happens with these forks.
The trend of selling btc to buy alt coin will continue for a long time.
You should always buy bitcoin, it's never too late to do so. But it is true what other users have said, you missed the oportunity to buy cheap, last week the price was around 5200$, and now we're about reach 6000$, so if you're going to buy, don't hesitate and do it, otherwise you might wake up one day and the price is going to be 7000$.

Its upto you where you want to buying bitcoins, if you think that its the best price you can get for buying bitcoins then you should buy bitcoins right now and if not then you should wait more as I also think that bitcoin price is gonna fall in the coming month but it's just a speculation made by me, you should do research and then make decisions based on the research. Also most people here don't know what they are talking about, they just post because they are getting paid for it, so there are slight chances for you to find something useful here.

introduction of bitcoin gold lead a market to drop a little,but i think as events in past bitcoin gold will not replace bitcoin and instead will become a new kind of bitcoin observing from previous forks and their results and hence eventually bitcoin will start gaining its price,and yes it will be there its more trust worthy now because of its such long term usage than other coins.

Can someone please explain to me Bitcoin Gold? I remember the Bitcoin Cash fork and hearing of lots of people that were scammed and lost all of their bitcoin due to bad wallets and phishing scams - or simply being careless with their private keys/

I guess that this situation is the same and that we should be very careful. Is it actually worth anything?

After the bitcoin gold fork there was a slight drop on the price of bitcoin, from $5900 to $5400 but as of now 2 days after the fork prices are ranging from $5800 - $5900 again. So it is safe to say that BTG somehow affected bitcoin's price because the people who hoarded bitcoin to get their BTG tried released it at the same time after the fork but the market is stabilizing at a higher price now.

Buying bitcoin is not the wrong thing because we all know that bitcoin prices will continue to rise. I do not think bitcoingold will significantly affect bitcoin and even today bitcoin can still survive. It has proven that bitcoin has a bit of resistance and bitcoingold will have the same fate with bitcoincash. In the past when bitcoincash started there then bitcoin prices remain high and tend to increase. So buying and waiting until the rising bitcoin price is a careful choice. You will benefit if you can use it well.

It is not taken seriously. It is a shitcoin. It has been nothing but a way to scam users into giving their private keys for airdrops.

Given how volatile bitcoin is, the drop from $5900 to $5400 may have been nothing more than routine price swings from day/short-term trading.

In any case, bitcoin gold does not seem to have had much of an effect on the market.  I guess things might change if more exchanges open up trading on it--it might pop like bitcoin cash did, which might cause some to sell bitcoin for bitcoin gold.  But ultimately, I think bitcoin gold will end up nowhere, like bitcoin cash, and any negative effects it has on the price of bitcoin will be temporary.

I think that bitcoin is better than gold. Because bitcoin price increasing day by day but gold price not increasing day by day . actually you don't compare bitcoin with gold. bitcoin price is so much high. bitcoin price still now increasing. another thing is that bitcoin price will be more high. you can buy some bitcoin and hold it and you will be benefited if you can use it well.

For now yes but I'm not sure if bitcoins can make us safe for more years ahead since there so many people who can manipulate it and that is so alarming to see unlike with gold where the growth of it is passive and we can expect that if we hold it the value would increase for more in the future. But if we hold both bitcoins and gold then it will be more good to us since maybe we will became rich for bitcoins aswell with gold.

Did you even read the topic? It's about bitcoin gold, not bitcoin or gold haha. There are no mentions of gold anywhere.

You should buy now, buy now just like you invest. Put your money into your bitcoin wallet but do not put all your earnings. You need to put some amount that you think you will not use for the next 5 years to 10 years and then after that years I think you already gain a lot of profit that time. Bitcoin is the 1st and one of the best crypro-currency so in my opinion bitcoin will have a better and brighter future.

I think it's not the right time to buy bitcoin If you look around to Bitcoin you'll see it increasing day by day as well as it also cross 7k$+ so you it's better to wait little bit

I do not know, many rumors say that bitcoin prices will drop after the gold bitcoin comes.
but the gold bitcoin protocol system has not made any major changes.
hope this is just a joke
My advice, do not first be affected by the talk that has not been proven right ....

 May it causes the price of bitcoin will  go down but  I'm wondering to seeing that the price of bitcoin is still  growing  up  already cross 6000$ and  now 1 Bitcoin equals 6028.06 US  but i think its risky to buy bitcoin now

Bitcoin gold had no capacity to surpass the abilities of the bitcoin, since BTG is only a little bit part of BTC last. Moreover, even bitcoin gold have a potential to increase their price in the market, I know that bitcoin is much better to them.
Otherwise bitcoin gold had lack of improvement for now but I think developer of this project were not stop develop this product to attract more clients.

bitcoin gold end so fast less than 1 month and price down

keep buy bitcoin and continuous keep it 

The forked coin was nothing, The bitcoin gold dev is not in competence to develop the bitcoin gold. Look at the bitcoin gold right now even the network not yet a live. That means if the bitcoin gold very bad coin. About the next fork coin just like b2x and so many people are try to gaining the moment to get their own b2x coin. Some exchange already confirmed to trade bitcoin 2x. that means the bitcoin gold just fake hype of the fork coin.

You should have bought Bitcoin, Bitcoin Gold is just a trash-fork coin, You should have read reviewed why Bitcoin Gold is a trash. Bitcoin Community always disregard the forked coin and continuously supporting the Bitcoin legacy, which makes bitcoin differs from the forked coins.

Yes, absolutely. There's no question that BTG is just a thrashed coin right now because its doesn't bring any on the table. That's why it didn't enjoy the support from the community. We just get this free coins and after that, the dumped happened and BTG didn't go as planned by those who is supporting this coin. Bitcoin is the only one that has enjoyed the support and traction from us. And no matter what fork or coin comes in the market, it will die down just like any other fork coins from BTC.

No I don't think bitcoin gold will ever affect the price of bitcoin and I think it will not drop again like what happen last July, bitcoin is now heading to a wide range market and it started to enter different economies and may soon declare to be legal tender so this would only means that stability of bitcoin will take place and regardless there are many alt to be introduce bitcoin will remain on the top

Community of bitcoin holders are just grabbing some free fork coins to earn and they will not stake with that coins since it is been disregard and untrusted by majority of whales and i will not surprised if that coin will die nor the price keep slowly dumping since people will use to comeback on the coin with huge purpose and that is bitcoins nothing else more greater with this.

Indeed many people are buying altcoins, but as far as I know that doesn't mean they sell bitcoin, I think there are still many people who continue to holding bitcoin and holding it as an investment that promises a high profit opportunities. Many of them make altcoins as an part of investments other than bitcoin invested, and honestly I personally do not think at all that bitcoin gold can be affect bitcoin price being falling down, I think it's doesn't have any effect on bitcoin price movements.
Bitcoin price had time to drop below $7000 some time ago, I think it's the right time to buy, but.. at right now also it doesn't matter if you buy it I guess, I still believe the price can still moving higher again than now.

I think we already got our answers . Bitcoin gold came with huge expectations but ended up hiking the price and value of bitcoin at some other level .
No doubt nowadays many people are investing or buying the altcoins but i have never heard people giving up bitcoin for altcoin .
Looking at the stats , bitcoin has almost blocked every possible for other altcoins to rise . So bitcoin gold or any other altcoin cannot come in the way of bitcoin's flourishing market

Panicking has been the driving force used to lose Money in any assets investment. People that are saying that bitcoin price is going to drop and clash after the hardfork are not familiar with happening in the past especially the ones that happened in august this year. We are not going to see fund flow from bitcoin to altcoins before the end of this year because of what he will do.
