Bitcoin Forum

Have a little more money to invest in crypto. I'm a little anxious to buy now as I speculate there may be a nice pull back on the price post-fork. I'd like to buy some BTC and some alt coins with about half of it.
Worth getting now and getting some B2X or wait til after the fork?

They have teached us to buy into the fatal dips lasting days.
They teached us to not fear the forks, because of free altcoin distribution. Gold, Cash, whatsnot.

Since you said "a little money" where is your risk? Why wait? A more Gung-ho attitude and do it today, since waiting doesn't increase it's value anyways. Remember fiat getting dilluted by central banks on a daily base.

There will always be highs, always be lows. The chance of BTC never returning to the 3-4000 zone is slim to say the least. I've sold 50% of my BTC at €5100, hoping to buy back under 4k, and will sell the other half if BTC approaches 6K.

If you're scared of bitcoin to fall back, buy ETH as it's a little more stable

no dont buy now wait after the fork there's a chance that the price of bitcoin become low ,if there's a fork there's a panic time so many investor withdraw there bitcoin in that time ,i experience that this august fork bitcoin down by half so better is to wait after the fork,i only experience one fork this answer base in my speculation in this year only

I think there will be a slight fall-off. Nothing to write home about. If you're going to invest do so now. Following the Fibonacci sequence, I honestly think it will reach in and around $8,000 after the slight pull back. Just my 2 cents.

There is no sure way to know how the price will trade before and after the fork.
Probably safe to buy half position before and keep some cash handy to buy the other
half  afterwards.

If you have extra money its better to invest it to bitcoin and possible that your money will grow the because the price of bitcoin continue to increase. But it's up to you if you want to buy bitcoin or you can wait more weeks to price fall before you buy. Brcause no one can know the actual happen to the bitcoin in the next few weeks or even before and after the fork.

No one can predict the current bitcoin price, if you want to buy why have to wait. Buy much as you can, you will not regret it in the future.

It is obviously impossible to predict with certainty what will happen but I would say it is more likely that the price will increase than decrease leading up to and following the fork so I would buy now.

Wait it out after fork imo,there will be some fud after it to get the price down for sure

But that will be so long, this time the bitcoin seems get another little correction but we are know about what will be happening in the future about the middle of november, 2x fork for bticoin. That will be a good thing to buy at the cheap price.

A very hard question ). I would prefer altcoins instead of buying bitcoin nowadays or wait a little bit to buy bitcoin. I think bitcoin price may drop a bit on november.

Just bought half of what I've put aside for crypto. Good idea, it should temper my disappointment if it goes down to 4K right after the fork.

As i see before segwit2x, it may sightly fall down, i will buy 1 btc. the next target will be above 6000

Too risky to wait until the fork, if I may say so. In fact, it is more likely to surge even higher all the way up to Segwit2x where you can take profits at 10 to 15 % at minimum before it will fall back to the levels today. But do not be surprised if even the fork does not bring it back below $6000. All these forking businesses seem to have strengthened Bitcoin time after time. Then again, SW2x is the most powerful of all the forks. Be ready for surprises.

if your point about having more BTC is to buy alts and you think you can make good profits by trading BTC for alts, then the sooner you get your BTC the better. if instead your priority is to maximize how much BTC you can get for your fiat, then i'd wait. if segwitx2 is going to be what it intends to be, we may have substantial FUD and general drop in the markets around the fork. i'm personally betting on that as an entry point for more fiat. but again, it's a bet and may well prove wrong.

IMO, BTC price will rise nearer to the fork. I will buy now if I were you.

I think that the OP wanted to say he doesn't have a lot of money to spend on investment and that's why it should be done in the best possible way.
OP, I think it is better to wait for a couple of weeks. The price always falls down at some point. I don't think it will fall more than 15% though, so if this is not much for you according to your budget then feel free to invest right now.
It has already grown due to btg fork, I don't think people will really do the same thing again. I don't like this price growings being related to forks.. I guess it's a substitute for what eth and neo have with icos. It's a factor which may lead to even more unstable prices than we are used to.

Definitely wait a few weeks Bitcoin is projected to crash within these coming weeks no point in buying at the peak.

The best thing you can do is just buy right now, the price is at $5700 at the moment and it wong go down, the charts are saying that it will probably go to $6000 before Monday, and there haven't been any bad news during these days, so it is not going to go down.
And there is going to be a new fork on November 11th, so this is the best time to buy if you want to make some easy profit from it quickly.

15% dipdown on price is hard to see as of but yet its possible.If we do try to see on after Bitcoin gold event we did see price pullbacks and for those who did enter on those pullbacks did able to make money as of now but yet we are not still hitting $6k price as of now yet which means its not really too late to buy some bitcoin for this upcoming fork. Price will possibly shoot up and might hit $6500 price but isn't still sure since no one could able to predict on what would happen on this upcoming fork.If you can handle the risk on buying now then its still a good move after all.

The best thing that you can do is just to buy right now, it is not going to happen because we are going to have the Segwitx2 fork in two weeks from now, and you all know that one week before the fork everybody will be crazy for buying some bitcoins only to receive those free tokens as well.
So put that money on a exchange and buy bitcoins now before it is too late, maybe tomorrow you wake up and see bitcoin over $6000 again.

this!
nobody can preditct it but I would say from a technical analysis perspective a crash is overdue. a lot of technical indicators on the daily chart and also elliot waves are looking bearish
also fundamentally there are high risks coming up with the 2x fork which perhaps will stop the bitcoin chain due to massive hashrate drop. this could cause a price crash

It's depends to you if you buy bitcoin or not. But invest only you can afford to lose because they have possible the price increase because the fork in november so the investor of bitcoin have doubt about the price so other sell it. But dont worry about it for sure after the fork the price will continue to increase. You can wait few weeks after that you can buy bitcoin with your extra money.

i would personally get in after the fork because right now people are still quite uncertain but the price is still around the same as the all time high(just a few hundred dollars off from $6000 which is still quite a crazy high amount).

Once the fork comes, there might be an initial sell off before a recovery.

Wisest thing to do is to by just before or right after the fork, in my opinion.

Buy now, at least you can then get some free coin...  ;D ;D

These are not the days before Bitcoin Cash fork. These are the post Bitcoin Gold days. Last July 2017, prior to the August 1 SegWit2x, the sentiment was that there is some panic about bitcoin's uncertain future with the implementation of the SegWit2x and the release of Bitcoin Cash. However, it proved to be just some way for bitcoin to rise high very fast after the release of Bitcoin Cash. And now before Bitcoin Gold is launched, instead of bitcoin dipping in value, there is another surge happening. I guess the days before the November fork will see another round of price flying instead of dumping.

wait for after segwit, it'' be worth it in the end

All decision is yours but for me I will hold my bitcoin and keep buying bitcoin before the fork because if I have a lot of bitcoin I have a lot of also bitcoin gold. Its up to you if you buy today or befire the fork or after fork. Because what eve the result you will be benfits or sacrifice that. But if you undecided until now its better if you invest rhe half before the fork and other half after the fork .

It is generally better to buy before fork or segwit. Yes it ll be hard to dump if bad things happen but I think its low chance nd its harder to buy first hours after fork. Network/chain would be very slow.

BCH up 20% and 200% volume than btc (indonesia). Is this a sign for bch to back to $800+  ::) ::)

Isnt better to wait a bit longer for bigger drop so you can buy more btc with same amount of $,btc will drop for sure

I also need some btc but I'm waiting till third week of November after all the fork. Maybe there will be some retrace in price

there are strange times we're in, nobody knows what's going to happen
the say i see it, btc price's gone up too much in the past few weeks and i don't see that as a healthy climb

a correction is bound to happen, the million dollar question is when...

It made me remember of something, the time when bitcoin cash was about to come in the market and no doubt that the fork is a real strike on the bitcoin so your prediction of cash crash can be true but the question I whether to leave bitcoin or not.

Definitely selling out bitcoin will be very profitable only if the holder will buy it again during the dip. Simply holding it in bad weather will also save from some serious wealth causalities.

You should buy more next stop of BTC at 6200$ so BUY Now Enjoy Profit !  Some dump might be coming by next 15 days but no one knows if it will be

Happy Trading

Thanks

Maybe it's time to act cautiously and wait a little. I am convinced that there will be a lot of volatility in the coming days due to the hardfork and since the high level that is reaching the bitcoin price these last days, it would not be rare to see a significant downward correction.

with the fork it's most likely to get shorted, however bitcoin gold had no real impact. So interested to see whether this 'hark-fork' will make a difference.

I think that in 10days  btc will be around 7000-8000 usd
so maybe the best option is buy today if you want quick money.
if not buy after the segwit.

Now it is very good time to buy altcoins and sell bitcoin, isn't it? Bitcoin is very overvalued. It is the most overvalued coin, it must fall.

im tired of forks and how bitcoin affects alts. someone who has a lot btc or money , they win so much , but we just try to not loose. isnt it sad ? this rally must stop. bitcoin need segwit2x because of speed and fee , we got that but why all time making a fork ?
btc gold price start with 510$ and now its 137$ , bch was 800$ and now its 474$. B2X is 1035$ for now (coinmarket) .

 we need a stabil market otherwise people will not invest in an altcoin. %2 - %5  price can go up or down thats normal but when btc hit the 6k alts are just dying.

My friend...if you think you need more bitcoin you need to start to buy it now. It will goes up in the long term. If you ready to hold it for very long term it will be good to buy now. Dont wait...buy and put it at cold wallet. Thats it. And earlier adopter already doing that from three years ago..also with there will be hardfork for segwit2x it is very good to buy bitcoin now.

I think that it is better to wait a couple of weeks to buy BTC on a lower rate

each time when bitcoin reaches new heights, the probability of a large rollback down increases. we are waiting fork cue ball. Until this point bitcoin will grow. After the fork, it is possible to roll back up to 50% of the growth. But in the long term, the bitkin will grow due to its diffusion component

Always remember that bitcoin's price in the short term, whether it be before or after this November hard fork, still pales in comparison to bitcoin's future price.
John Mcafee himself promised to eat his own dick on public television if bitcoin price does not reach $500,000.

Forget about the dips or pumps you are seeing now. These will mean nothing if you are a long term holder. Today is a good day to buy. Long term = win.

Certainly Bitcoin selling will be very profitable. Bitcoin's price goes up and down all the time . But the price increases more than the price decreases  . So it's good to buy now. After a couple of weeks, it can get a lot of profit from it.

That is depends on your choice, my suggestion is that if you can't wait to get later then take it now but be sure to be wise in prices to avoid regrets. So I must say that be wise in decision making because one wrong move can become a big mistake.

Buy BTC this week or u will loose you timming ! It will get higher.

It's hard to determine the short-term price of BTC. We all believe that BTC will hit higher prices; but we say that as a future prediction. For two or three weeks, I'm expecting a solid price for BTC due to end of BTG fork. But you should buy some BTC just 1 month ago.

If you want buy Bitcoin i propose you wait some time.

But if you want altcoins now is the best time, because its price is the lowest now

Yup, looks like it. All the alts are going up, and bitcoin looks mighty wobbly right now.

Buy now because the coming weeks will be time for altcoins to reign the market and exchanges again. Expect a lot of pumps again.

Bitcoin price very high at this moment $7170 but you can wait for fall down because you need more BTC.Although BTC already falling down but i think in december it's below 7000$.So waiting is the best way.

Wait few weeks,because today anyone can't guess Bitcoin's move.If you like to take risks you can buy Bitcoin today.

With the delay or cancellation of the segwit2x and that becomes an attack to the bitcoin itself caused by a lot of people are only interesting to find their free money through the fork coin but i was speculating about that will give the comeback to all of the altcoins.

for now, i suggest to hold if you want to buy some btc or other altcoins.
for now, some altcoins have a sharp decline, so I think it's better to hold, not the right time to decide to buy at a time like this.

If it's a very long run investment, might as well buy now. In the far future, it won't matter really if you bought it at $100 or $200 over a dip, price will go even higher anyhow.

I think it is going to be a good time to buy BTC. The price is decreasing fast now...

Yes I think now would be the right time to buy BTC because it is currently decreasing so there is room and time for profits if you buy them at its price now. Good thing the segwit2x was cancelled because it gave chances to those who wanted to buy bitcoin.

For me the best time to buy now because were seeing a price drops below $7000. Bitcoin price rise fast and the best for me to grab the chance to buy back. And wait for the price to high for the profit.

same as always if you are a good trader you will always followed the simple logic buy low and sell high, we are seeing some good chances which
bitcoin is on its downfall, some correction or maybe a traders who make a good money already satisfied and sell some of its holdings so better to
expect more to come.

don't wait for Forks, they only influence the price in the short-term. You should look at the long-term, the crypto space is still so young and there is so much potential for further growth. In a couple of years you'll be looking back and laughing that you were thinking whether you should buy at 7 or 8 thousand, because by then the price will have jump at 10 or 50 thousand.

Just wait a few more days as I am sure the Bitcoin price could fall below $ 6000 and this is definitely the best chance to buy Bitcoin because there is a lot of Bitcoin information that could hit $ 8000 this year or maybe reached $ 10000

I agree bitcoin is currently falling. Many people are also waiting for it to drop in order to buy bitcoins. If you buy it now you will have regrets that you did not waited. Altcoins will rise up in these days.

So you better wait a few weeks  I am pretty sure that bitcoin will drop very hard.

Maybe you should wait for the big dip the grab some more BTC is you need some :) But nobody knows what really will happen :)
