Bitcoin will seperate after august 1?

or

Bitcoin will end?

Some of sites written about this.

Need a Expert opinion or Real news. So waiting....

As far as my understanding is correct since Im still new to bitcoin world, even with a chain split, there is still bitcoin. And for the price, it depends whether in what chain majority will support. Still bitcoin isn't ended but just divided. Furthermore, price increase is still possible.

Don't just read the result but rather read the inside stuff of what will really happen after August 1.

have a real bitcoin blog/forum site to know all update about bitcoin??

Based on my own reading and research on this very important matter, for sure this will not be the end for Bitcoin and in fact this act is done to make Bitcoin more agile and efficient so that it can handle more transactions which hopefully can unclog the backlogs of transactions in the blockchain. There is no debate that there is a big problem in Bitcoin and what is being debated until now is the correct solutions or solutions for the problem of scaling.

Now, the worst that can happen will be the split almost similar to what happened to Ethereum that resulted into the Classic Ethereum or ETC and the more popular ETH. In case there would be a split then maybe we can be receiving two types of Bitcoin by then but this can of course affect the value of the coin most especially immediately after the event.

However, I still believe that there would be no split and if there is then it will not be bloody as feared by many. The bigger interest of the common people holding Bitcoin should prevail.

Update: The possibility of a split is now getting to be remote as confirmed by many Bitcoin news site.

No. Bitcoin is indeed growing. Don't look at seperate as that is not indicative of the growth or lack-thereof.

Might be there will be two chains  after segwit2x get activated on august but that might not trigger big dump, there may be some panic among newbie traders after split.

Bitcoin will never end.

We have to wait till the activation of segwit2x to find out whether there will be split of network or not.

August 1 would be the day to answer all of the questions on our mind. If it will split or not, no one knows until that day comes but its really hard to say that on that day bitcoin will end even it would split it wont die easily and as piloder said there would really be a panic but it wont really make the price dump for sure.

Don´t worry, everything is going to be fine.

It will be normal to see some fall in the price, but it will not mean the death of bitcoin for sure. As the previous guy said we all need to wait and see with our own eyes what will happen after 1st of August.

Bitcointalk is the best place to getting new information about the updating bitcoins include bitcoins hard fork
the other source of information, you can follow the news usually cointelegraph, coindesk and the merkle
 all of them always makes update about bitcoins and another digital coins.

No Bitcoin will not end, it may just end up splitting if it does or nothing will happen and Bitcoin will continue as it is. If it splits then there will be two Bitcoins on two chains, price will definitely be effected, panic mode will be triggered, oh and most importantly protect your coins, shift them to a wallet that gives you keys. The wallet topic is active here search for it. And don't worry we all will be going through same thing so let's enjoy till we can.

What is matter about bitcoin is supply and demand. After August 1 or even few days before, there will be some investors panic, want to sell their bitcoins and it will cause high supply and after few days everything will be normal. With solving some problems such as transaction times, People will also sell their altcoins and buy bitcoins. As a result bitcoin will be more valuable than it is today. There is no reason for ending bitcoin however there will be some important changes. The best we can is wait for the coming days. However There is one thing clear. Bitcoin will never end. Bitcoin is future currency.

If the update is a success even if the network split, this will end the long agonizing debate between factions about bitcoin scaling.  Aside from that it will definitely an end to bitcoin high transaction fee.  It will be the end of cheap Bitcoin,  I can see it soaring in price because of the fixed on the scalability issue, whatever happen a split or not bitcoin will continue to thrive simply because those who invest millions to billions of dollars in it won't let it happen.

for sure it will not end.
one thing that can happen is chaos, price drop etc but for sure not dead

Yes that's true! bitcoin cannot be end it only drop it's market value due to its competitors or bitcoin hording but it will never end.

No ofc, BTC has really bright future as an ETH and other really developing cryptocurrencies) So u can surely invest your money in it ;) ;) ;)

In my opinion bitcoin is currently progressing so rapidly and it seems like bitcoin is unlikely to end in such a short span of time.
And with growth of some new investors who invest in bitcoin this will certainly affect the progress of bitcoin in the future.

That is segwit on August 1 right ? I though it's a good thing for bitcoin, it can increases the Bitcoin’s block size limit and i think it will affect the price of bitcoin become more higher. I'm sure bitcoin will not end, maybe it bring a good news to all bitcoin user.

a question.... who gonna decide if bitcoin going to split or not?
who decided the date???

There is still some kind of manipulation in it?

Yes i hope so, the activation of segwit on bitcoins network will not be bad impact on bitcoins its self
but it will be best choice and solution to fix the problem on bitcoins network,
the comunity of bitcoins never become two side because of the activation of segwit and the price of bitcoins
to the moon.

You better read some articles or news.
This thing will make some people curious in wrong side. But the fact is bitcoin will gonna solve its problem this coming august especially the transaction problem that people are totally questioning and agonizing. This will not be the end of bitcoin for sure the good thing will happen in bitcoin. We do not need to worry things with it. Just fixing things then everything will be back to normal logs will be lessen.

Why do you think it will end? What blog have you read?

Anyway, it's not like 100% guaranteed that bitcoin will split, theres a chance though. So far (via coin.dance), looks like Segwit2x is on the lead. If you would like to learn more about the scaling issues and bitcoin's 'political' problem, I suggest researching and reading about softforks and hardforks.

If you want to predict something then you have to do a research, when you get any findings then you can do any assumption based on your research. You don't have to create any panic among the people. I want to say one thing to you, what is your basis to tell about the ending of Bitcoin at August...??..

I do not think this will be the end of bitcoin. He has grown well and will continue to grow and develop.

In my own point of view, it's neither of the two. Bitcoin will never end on that day but let's wait for that date to come because it's the final judgment if it does. Everything will be fine I guess, lets not panic.

Could you elaborate on your idea? AFAIK, in recent days have become great the chances that Bitcoin will receive segwit without the need of a chain split.

I do not believe this will happen

The chains could split, this could happen, but Bitcoin is not going to vanish, it will not end. Like for many changes so far that Bitcoin has gone through people always paniced and made different theories but every time Bitcoin survived and actualy nothing so crucial hasn't happen. So it will be this time.

send me article about that. I can't believe in it... such big currency can't end like this.

Everything dies bro. Plan accordingly

All that is only an estimate, and not necessarily true, we do not need to worry with 1 August, if that's true .. I hope will not make bitcoin off.

Have you done any research? Do you have any statistical analysis.? Is it your personal opinion.? Every assumption should be based on some outcome or analysis. So don't create any panic across the Bitcoin users.

Since everyone is bothered about reducing the transactions charges and not about the broader picture i guess the network upgrade could solve the said issue,but will it change the broader issues,i highly doubt that,will it end up being a disaster ,i do not think so.Lets see how it will go.

Scary it seems but that does not mean that bitcoin will end.  If that will happen, little by little I will exchange my bitcoin into cash.  Call what ever you want but I do not want to regret something  my life.  But whichever its way, for sure it will still soar high like an eagle.

I am not an expert but one thing I am sure of is that a fork causing a split will not cause the end of bitcoin. Sure, according to some experts, this may definitely affect the prices of the two chains where one will be dominant and the other will just be striving to survive if possible. The dominant one will probably keep bullying the other cryptocurrencies or not, I don't know and I am sure non one knows! Though incomparable, but same happened to ethereum and we all know how ethereum classic is fairing (surprisingly trying though!).

There are so many people who had said that bitcoin will end on a specific date or year and yet bitcoin is still here and keeps on growing, I am not sure but probably even an expert can't even make an accurate prediction about this maybe it's better for you to just ignore those information you've read from a certain site and let's just wait for what is going to happen on the said date ;D .

I do really agree your point because chain split doesn't make difference. It's just devide may it result to better transaction speed and low fees

If the chain splits, then you will have double Bitcoin.  After split, hope for another split.  Good way to get rich.

May I see the site? Can you send it here? I have never heard / seen the news. Maybe this is just a lie that is trying to destroy bitcoin, so investors and countries planning to adopt bitcoin so delay or even cancel that intention. This is just my opinion

Bitcoin is not going to end because of that, however the chances of a split are there in which case probably the price is going to suffer a heavy correction, but now it seems the miners are seeing this and there is the chance we may get segwit activated before that, I hope we do, but I will not be surprised if thing did not happened that way.

OP, read  a bit more before you spread FUD!

Segwit2x s been agreed on and as it seems now, it should be activated and ready for August 1. There will be NO BITCOIN FORK!

Keep your BTC in a Wallet & NOT an exchange, and stick your seatbelt on ;), it should be fine providing that Segwit 2x proceeds as planned.

Bitcoin will not end. I think we will zoom past $3000 and be at $4000 a week later.
We really need smart contracts on Bitcoin to maintain first mover advantage. Many in my circle are skipping Bitcoin and getting drawn into ETH smart contracts because of ICOs.

I think it's just a kind of stop, a halt (I mean August 1) to gain strength for future development. We will see a rise up.

Yup — Segwit2x still hovering at around 80% though.
(https://coin.dance/blocks)

the activation of segwit it will change many things I hope for good yeah the price probably will drop like it happened with Ethereum, but after that event Bitcoin will be greater than ever.

Are you crazy? all of the articles about bitcoin will die is all fake and hoax. Bitcoin will never die many people knows about that we need to believe that and do not destroy the dignity of the bitcoin.

For me, if that thing happens, I think its because of Rothschild family because they want to use their dollar currency around the world, and they also want to use their banking system around the world and they have went here in the philippines, glad that our president kicks them out because I think our president knew things about them too but I have read about gaddafi, the president of libya, he is murdered because he rejects the offer of rothshit. Im afraid that it will happen too in our president!

Ps
Sorry for bad english, dont blame me I just learned english from video games

It is really impossible that the bitcoin will die. Bitcoin will never die many experts said that and they say also the bitcoin will continuing to rise up. I believe also to them.

No Bitcoin will not end, It will only split in to two, But that will not become a problem because you can send your Bitcoin either of the two "correct me if i am wrong here that is what i have read in the past weeks". Its like ETH vs eth Classic.

don't spread wrong info
bitcoin is never die, many country already try to accept it
it will long last forever as long as there is an internet

The split that will happen on August would not probably be the grounds for bitcoins to die. There might be some who would be changing course and transfer to other alternatives but still there is still some who would be retaining on using bitcoins. There could be some adjustment(might be unstable on sometime  on the first several days or weeks) but I think it can recover from the splitting afterwards.

this rumour will let them buy more bitcoins, even if the bitcoin ends that day, they get more bitcoins, the bitcoin is all the way rising. the end of bitcoin on 1st of August is to me nonsense, i would recommend to reserve some of the bitcoins and see what happens on 2nd of August.

it can't end, there is too much money in it
best developers in entire world works on bitcoin so don't be afraid :)

There is no way to really say anything "real" about the future.

There is only predictions.

I beileve that the UASF is going to go well, Segwit is going to finally get implemented and btc will probably rise as a result.

If a hard fork does happen, then all it means is that there is two versions of bitcoin running simultaneously. So it's just two ledgers, forked out of the original bitcoin, going different directions. EVen if this happens i think you shouldn't worry too much as within a month there will be a winner and is likely to be the core token.

Dude who agreed this? For example I'm holding bitcoins and mining as well. Nobody asked me to vote for it? Who's deciding these things? Really unclear. Please explain.

Don't fall for this mate, it's all a game with one goal, to make the weakest hands to panic and dump, no one will split Bitcoin because they

Need it to stay one strong chain as every one else, but if by any chance like one in a billion they do then it's not Bitcoin any more it will

Have a different name but BTC will stay the same, that's why I say don't sell beforehand and let everything to play out first.

Hahaha please show me the website that says bitcoins are going to die because of a hard fork. Who would write such an article? A sports columnist?

No. There will be two versions of bitcoins and the crappy kind will crash and burn. Bitcoins as you know them today will most likely due unless the chain gets some followers but it doesn't matter. Just HODL.

Then let me ask this. I'm holding 1 bitcoin and hard fork happened. What will happen? I'll have two different bitcoin? How about their market prices and exchange related issues? When one of them die, wouldn't the price of other stay much lower than current high price? :(

bitcoin will survive no matter what is thrown at it as along as people still believe it is better than fiat

as long as the miners activate segwit before aug 1st there will be NO chain split eminent

a chain split could occur later this year if there is a contentious hard fork

Doesn't matter because you are mining in a pool correct? if so then the pool operator has to ask you about your choice, but maybe you

Are mining with a pool which doesn't respect their workers, miners to ask about their decision, if you are holding 10M Bitcoins only way

To speak and be heard is by dumping, if you mine then only way to be heard is by having at least %25 of total hash rate mate. big miners

Agreed to do the activation of a new proposal, small miners matter not.

1 Bitcoin, are you joking? yes you'll have 2 after the imaginary split but as you said it will have lower price and the longest chain will survive having

The brand of BTC. and after a while the value will recover.

bitcoin will get stronger after the bitcoin scene sort their nonsence.. i will move on to better coins if they dont

There will be two kind of Bitcoin. As i know, Bitcoin Unlimited will be second one. Some experts offer to get private key of our bitcoins and so we should use the key for both of them

Bitcoin will not end and it will rise even more because there is a good news after that if the segwit will succeeded. Bitcoin segwit will make the blocks have more space and that will make the confirmations faster and it is a great help for bitcoin that can make the price higher and make bitcoin even more active in the market and also in the internet so i think it will not end but will have another rise.

I don't know whether the continued increase in the price of bitcoin, but the fact that Google decided to invest in the blockchain this is a positive signal. The news I read on the forum and think that it's not fake. Someday we will see the whole crypto economy in the Internet.

No, bitcoin will not end. This is a very important event for bitcoin, it is a breakthrough for a coin. HF will happen, there are a few options here, however, currently, people are discussing a lot about Segwit. And the winning segwit ability is very high, because it is considered to be the best way to develop bitcoin.

Exactly! Op had nothing but FUD to show for the alarm he raised and that clearly makes him out of touch with present goings-on in Bitcoin and entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. On this page, let's educate him and the likes, that Litecoin was used as guinea pig for segwit and to pave way for subsequent implementation on Bitcoin if satisfactory. Now that is exactly where we are headed, it is the time for Bitcoin and it has come to stay.

Yeah I think everyone is so concern with what is going to happened in august, but no matter what bitcoin is not going to end, bitcoin is not going to end that simple and seems like there will be only segwit implementation, no forking is going to happened

I think 80% is still good enough for now cause eventually the rest will be forced to join the bandwagon as 20% is a huge part of minority and I am sure no one wants to be part of that.

Why? Is there any reason why bitcoin will end on that day? Because of the rumors out there that bitcoin will be dead and it is end of the bitcoin. Though there are rumors out there but there are no evidence on what is the reason why it is ending.

A lot of people now a days, sort of haters of bitcoin making a rumors about bitcoin that it will be dead soon do not invest on it or dont use on it but actually they dont see that it is going pretty strong everyday.

Bitcoin cant die just like that.Seagwit is maybe not a best solution but at least it was tested by litecoin.There is nothing to be worry,it will be soft fork,worry can be ifwe will have hard fork to rise block size

That's such old news. It's over 90% now. The minority is only the slow people it seems. Everyone has finally agreed to go ahead with segwith2x.

yeah but if segwit succeed the value of bitcoin will rise up even more, i agree with most comment here aug 1 will just bring some hype or some falls down but it will make the comeback like before we already seen a  lots of downfall and make a rebound and many of us already gained coming from this fluctuations so better to stay cool and wait for the result.

I read a lot of opinions about what will happen on August 1 and they say that bitcoins will have positive events. I really hope that it will be so. And I absolutely do not believe that for bitcoin this will be a bad event

saying that bitcoin will end is like saying the world will end in August which I can't take into account,atlfter the activation if segwit2x we will be experience a faster transaction as there won t be be delay in confirmation which we normally experience these days,we can have two phase of the coins just like ETH and ETC,I am buying more as I am not going to have any free of bitcoin will end or whatever

I’m not an expert on the topic but Segwit2x will try to make a hard fork six months after activating segwit in order to raise the size of the blocks to 2MB? So in a way we are just buying time before a fork, also I have not seen the devs supporting Segwit2x at all, maybe they have done so but I have not read the news for some days.

Only miners can decide and supporting segwit2x that is why this coming august we will see what will be the effect of segiwt2x after activation. .
Hope that they can give a good effect and also for people afraid about the miners fee should be threat after this coming august 1..
Daily news every where is about the activation of segwit through BIP148.

I still don't know what people have the slightest idea that bitcoin will always that if there is a uncertain event that will happen on bitcoin. Of course bitcoin will not end or die on Aug 1. We may have a price crash but bitcoin will always recover just like the other crash it has face and then after the dust has settled down, then bitcoin price will spike and go to new heights again.

It wll not separate because it is not joined at the first place. They will be just splitting the network into Bitcoin that we know and Bitcoin Classic. Saying that I don't think that it will be ending, there will be just new altcoin, Bitcoin Classic. So I don't think bitcoin will end just like that, with all the users nd investors, bitcoin will be immortal.

Indeed bitcointalk.org is the best site for news updates about bitcoin, whatever happens about bitcoin will always appear here a few seconds afterwards.
So we just follow some of those who post and we'll be pretty ahead of the incident.

Bitcoin would not end on August 1 and at the same time there will be no chain split if the bitcoin scaling proposal that was implemented by that time is segwit2x and not others. Even if others were implemented, bitcoin would not die but the chain splitting was possible if other proposals are implemented rather than segwit2x. For now I see segwit2x winning with more support than others.

I have noticed that all the newbies and generally people that aren't hardcore bitcoiners that follow the news daily, are just catching up recently with UASF/BIP148 and the august 1st date, and they think something will happen. They still have not understood the fact that nothing is going to happen anymore because we got segwit, even if we got the shitty segwit2x, but who cares since it is compatible with Core.

so how do we know which kind of BTC we have now if this happens?

I think the scenario will be like on what happen in ethereum, if you will put your bitcoins in a site or wallet that supports BIP148 then you are capable of receiving the new type of bitcoin where in ethereum it is called ethereum classic, so you just need to put it to a wallet and for sure there is difference in name of the coin so you will not get confused in bitcoin and the hard fork type of bitcoin.

The "beauty" of a hard fork when you own coins is that you should get double the coins. Coins on the new chain + coins on the old chain. Of course you need to really own the coins, meaning they must be in the right wallet.

Segwit may have advantage and disadvantages, but the positive advantage might be lowering fees and making bitcoin user friendly when it regards to fees. This improvement and changes will still inprove the bitcoin ecosystem.

Oh! Thanks for the update. That is good to hear knowing there is now a full agreement on segwit2x. At least now, we fully know where we are heading as a community.

it's also a good way to kill the value, i don't think in the remote case of a chain split, the exchange will listen both chain as a bitcoin with the same value, it doesn't make sense

one of the chain will be listed as an altcoin, or simply not listed, and the exchange are with core they said it already, so any other chain is an altcoin

Bitcoin will separate? That sounds vague. Bitcoin will not split and there will no BU and BTC co-existence after the UASF. And as in addition, no separation will occur since this just a User Activated Soft Fork and not a Hard Fork (correct me if I am wrong here).

Bitcoin will not end upon the activation of segwit/UASF. The activation was proposed (and approved?) in order to upgrade Bitcoin so how come that this will trigger the end for Bitcoin?

First of all the Bitcoin is immortal and it can't ever dead because it is the data written in online but it is impossible to erase this data without the permission of the owner of the Bitcoin network , so end of Bitcoin is impossible .
But in my opinion the Bitcoin is going toward the limit of the 21 millions so it may be possible that is the reason why they want to make another coin comparable to the Bitcoin and more impactful sppeder faster network chain .
But here the main thing is that segwit is replaced by the segwit2x( results into two chain one for the btc and second for the another coin ) but here only 80% of the chances are for the launching to work successfully . So here it is possible may be they don't launch segwit2 and renew the segwit ( old ) with the improvement and with better response with big block size .
( Here all arey opinion and according to the news that is spread in my friend circle about it ) .

We need smart contracts on Bitcoin? Really?!
So far there isn't even a single useful smart contract running on Vitalium?!The need and significance of smart contracts for a store of value is not needed imo!Furthermore it's more a buzz than a real thing at the moment.
You may get that with RSK as a sidechain. And that is enough!
99% of the ICOs are scam! They increase the size of the blockchain massively!
It seems you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. But hey it's about the quick buck right?! ;)

Well, i know it's just a joke. Bitcoin is money from the internet, so if bitcoin dies then the internet is disappearing, so I do not think it will happen, especially in August. Well, now bitcoin is rising in popularity, so I guess it's just a joke

I think you have a wrong misunderstanding there. Bitcoin will not be dead by August 1, instead, Segwit 2x might be activated and they are doing it for Bitcoin also.

This is the much awaited fix for the high transactions and slow network confirmation, every body should look at it positively and do not spread panic, the title of this thread will cause so much confusion I don't like the title with end of bitcoin, however positive it may seems.

For me on my own knowledge about bitcoins hard fork on august even may be a lie i think,though hard fork is real on some altcoins i dont think bitcoins will end up getting a hard fork,but hard fork may happen and may gives a good result

We dont know wha will happen in bitcoin in august 1 but i hope the effect will not big because bitcoin is very important to us.  But if bitcoin dump on that day for sure that not end  because even the price of bitcoin dump for sure many investor will invest to bitcoin again because they want more profit. I hope the price will increase more and my target price is 5000 before the end of this year and I think it will happen even many said bitcoin dump ir dead in august 1.

I do not think Bitcoin will die come August 1, I think it will thrive!

Even with a chain split there will still be bitcoin, and it won't massively affect bitcoin. I should thrive after August the first since the transaction fees should be lowered. The only reason for bitcoin to die is if the internet would die since it is an online form of currency and until the internet dies bitcoin

Bullshit...
Why are you telling such type of discouraging comment? Have you any evidence behind this issue??
Every issue must have been created by concrete finding, so you have to follow some rules to spread out this type of comment.

Think positive you don't know what will happen they can assume what will happen but it is not 100% sure or accurate i think even if problems occur even if the value will decrease i dont think bitcoin will not end that easily.

Never, I think Bitcoin doesn't end ever. They provide wrong information to you. You can search on google and watch another blog about Bitcoin you can get clear information.

after reading all the time posts, blogs, various opinion....
it's seems that 1st august it will be just an opportunity for everyone in the industry, who invest, who is in business, who mine....
this is good chance to talk more about bit coin and grab people attention

That's more reason we have to feel the pulse of Albert Einstein here through his words, “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.”  When unfriendly friends of Bitcoin go about spreading misleading information, we don't have to keep quiet or simply look the other, Bitcoin has simply become a part of the rest of our lives, so it matters a lot.

Right now, there is a consensus among developers, businesses, miners and users that Bitcoin scaling issues needs urgent resolution and though Core Developers have not fully shown support for segwit2x, yet segwit2x really means a first leg of segwit and then a second leg for 2 MB blocksize hard fork 6 months later and which is the bone of contention.

In summarize, segwit has been agreed upon and the agents of FUD are going to avail most of us the opportunity we missed back in 2009 and 2014 to purchase tickets for a lunar trip as very reduced rates. Come-on bitcoiners, don't be distracted by the noise, in between now and July 31st is the time of your lives, buy all the financial freedom you want or consolidate on your already freedom, by the time we get to next leg of segwit2x, we shall think about it.

What a fake news. Bitcoin technolgy way out of shutting down so soon. Im not saying it is perfect but im believing into its development which is neither that agile nor that weak.

Ultimately, the economic majority along with miners will decide where bitcoin should head. If UASF fails perhaps bitcoin would continue to be as it is now but we're likely seeing a SegWit activation either way. Hopefully no major chain split will occur because an "added value" scenario like ETC with ETH could me more damaging in bitcoin's case.

This issue will soon be resolve when August 1 comes, majority of miners signal to SegWit2x and the correction will be done. Let's stop spreading fake news. At least do some readings.

Activation of SegWit will improve or worsen the situation?

I think that this is false information. Bitcoin can not end up like this with a warning.

I see no reason why it would be the end of Bitcoin. In fact that will simply be the activation of Segwitx2 or whatever it is called.

Same thing happened to ertherium and despite all odds both eth and etc doing well and growing stronger by day.
I think bitcoin is the best crypto that we could have and it will only grow stronger even if split happens

Precisely, this is clearly another of the doomsayers theories which will not stand the test of time because it's founded on lies. Bitcoin has come to stay so no matter what they may predict it will not be affected by August 1 decisions.

I just now realized that the author wanted to convey to today's Bitcoin users. It seems to me that this is a complete absurdity and I do not understand what is being done at all. We all know that Bitcoin will exist for a long time and have a very potential future. I do not imagine that the price of 2,500 dollars for Bitcoin can change so dramatically and drastically.

Of course, it will improve the block chain. That's why segwit2x is here. Let's wait for the activation and put our hopes in positive way.
And one thing is sure after August 1, bitcoin will be still on us.

This is just food to mislead others about what will happen in the upcoming august 1, there is no basis at all if you are going to believe on this matter. How can you believe on such things like this if Bitcoin now is continuously growing and the demand was also increased. So its better to stick on buying bitcoin then hold in a long term.

Looks like you don't know a thing about what is happening and how it will affect on all situation.
In a short word: by prognoses the price of bitcoin will increase two times (I actually doubt in such big growth, but to see some plus in the price will be pretty expected). The situation with transactions is going to be solved. We just need SegWit, cause of the number of users are increasing and current situation with transaction is promissing to become only worse.

Nope. Bitcoin grows stronger. With experience, acquired knowledge, unification and direction Bitcoin will only get better.

There might be a split and changes this coming August 1, it could be bitcoin price will dump more or it will pump but definitely not the end of Bitcoin and I'm sure or that.

Yes, it is not possible in present condition because already many big countries have signed on Bitcoin is legal in their country. Right now there is a lot of bad speculation rotating with ETH also it means that it is going to end.

i dont care with this kind of news. i know this is just some sort of a FUD which will really cause the holders to panis sell and whats worst? the one that will really be penetrated and affected by these FUDs are the newbies in this cryptocurrency world.

After August 1 or even couple of days prior, there will be a few financial specialists freeze, need to offer their bitcoins and it will cause high supply and following couple of days everything will be typical. With taking care of a few issues, for example, exchange times, People will likewise offer their altcoins and purchase bitcoins. Accordingly bitcoin will be more important than it is today. There is no purpose behind consummation bitcoin however there will be some essential changes. As well as can be expected is sit tight for the coming days. However There is one thing clear. Bitcoin will never end. Bitcoin is future cash

I agree.  GREAT opportunity to buy coming up. 

That is segwit on August 1 I however it is ideal for bitcoin, it can expands the Bitcoin's square size point of confinement and i think it will influence the cost of bitcoin turn out to be more higher. I'm certain bitcoin won't end, perhaps it convey an uplifting news to all bitcoin utilize

Bitcoin will not end, it will change / evolve.  We will probably end up in a similar situation to ETH and ETC where they had two chains for the same coin, it is certainly an interesting time but not something to panic about it is more of an exciting time in the evolution of bitcoin.

The only thing that we are sure is, bitcoin will have a new face after the august 1 and a lot of changes will be felt by the users of bitcoin like the new and improved block size which is capable of more transactions and it will provide a larger space and faster transactions which is what most of the bitcoin users look for because even i, i'm very pissed with the slow confirmation time and i hope this even in august 1 will be the solution.

The problem with that way of thinking is that you will have two different coins, but those coins are not going to be worth the price of the original, I think the loss of value could be great since many will be in doubt of what to do and even if the two coins were more valuable than the original that does not mean that you are going to be able to sell them since many recommend not moving the coins while we are in such a state of confusion.

Yes Bitcoin will die, it has died before, several times, so nothing special  :D

So many pools signed this, why would the majority want an end to bitcoin? Would it still make sense since so many started buying into?

I'm sorry but this does not make any sense to me. It never died, the others only can harm and injure bitcoin. Nothing more, they can do.

Are you sure? You said that the bitcoin will have ended up like ETH and ETC but I've heard another said that the bitcoin will not get forked and just there will be an improvement such as Segwit and 2MB hardfork.
But if the bitcoin will get UASF in 1 august and I think there is a lot of chance the chain split to happen. My thought if that must be avoided.
We know that the community of ethereum gets divided caused by the chain split.

thanks all.
thanks for your valuable feedback

Bitcoin will end? Which site wrote that ?, you say some, it means there is more than one.
Come on..1 august is just a date to be skipped like any other date. That is only the date where since the release segwit2 up to 1 August, how much percent support the proposal. Even if there is a dump, it does not mean the end of bitcoin. It's not that easy to end it.

Bitcoin will not die, it's time now you buy and save it. If the bitcoin dies, then altcoin will die soon as well.

I disagree because i believe that it will be a huge success of splitting the bitcoin. It is good in the economy because after that day i hope that bitcoin will not going down.

I thinks, the best we have one BTC and other coin!
Best for member and more
This time gives people a better view of BTC

Actually , i don't know what happen in August 1. Bitcoin  is a very popular site and also be trustred. A huge number of people are connected to this site. So, its impossible to end.

My opinion is that, don't worry everything is going to be fine.

No, it will not end. And it will rise more than ever.

Read my signature, it have all answers.

The posibility of a hardfork instead of UASF is on the air because BTCunlimited are supporting the bitcoincash split but I think any expert here can be sure of what will happen on august 1st

Don't worry everything is going to be fine :D

Nobody wants the network to fail, not the miners, nor the users. Therefore I think there won't be a split and after segwit2x is activated global mass adoption can start due to enourmous scaling possibilities

First, Bitcoin is not a site, it is a digital currency, though today it seems that bitcoin FUD had stopped.  This bitcoin will die scheme had been roaming the internet for almost a decade now.  There are several prediction that bitcoin will die but instead bitcoin keep going strong.  But before today, FUD had been successful in pulling bitcoin price down.  Lucky some announcement of Big exchanges shifted the momentum.

I am also waiting for August1. i think nothing will happen to bitcoin,because bitcoin is world popular currency.

I also think like that, everything is just panic and this issue is made to make users panic so they sell bitcoin with cheap price. I sure, nothing will happen after August 1st.

I think it will not happen. Maybe the value of btc is slighty going down when the splitting is happened. But i dont believe that this is the end of the bitcoin. Indeed. It is going to be successful and as the time goes by. The bitcoin value is rising again.

Read my signature, it have all answers.

i don't know the price movement atm , it go down to $1800 and go up to $2900 in few days , what the hell with the market right now ? just can taking short profit , too risky to hold for a long time, waiting to price being more stable to jump in market

 There are many speculations and rumors that are going around, but you can check the main news here in bitcoin forum just above home or here "[urlhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2017191.0"[/url].  There are possibilities that there will be a split on block chain but we really don't know what will happen on that day until it happens. What we can do is to to be prepared on the day it will happen. There guides on the link that I sent to you on what you can do during the event for the safety of your coins and to prevent panic. The moderator will update us time to time as we come to close in after the month. Hope it helps  ;)

Right now it's all hoping that way. But things can change quickly. As happened yesterday that bitcoin prices have decreased very drastically. Now bitcoin prices are back to normal, but we definitely want that things happened yesterday did not happen also on the 1st of August. Everything end result in segwit will definitely affect the movement of bitcoin price in a better direction or not.

Many people are saying there will be a spike in prices on 1st aug. So which one is going to happen ??  ???

Actually there are many speculation of bitcoin prices and its existence. But as far as I can see to it bitcoin still will exists and the price are recovering. Global mass adoption will take place and as is in the upcoming months. Therefore, I believe price will soaring high this year.

Core devs decided that August 1st should be the date for the user activated soft fork seen in BIP148. Of course, it's a contentious fork and if BIP91 fails to go through we're heading directly into collision for this contentious fork.

As far as I know, there will still be bitcoin even if a split happens. Bitcoin should survive August 1 and prices should increase rapidly after.

These manipulation will be there but want to know what would happen to bitcoin? I noticed the message pop-up in my Coinbase wallet says the notice. Don't do transaction on July 31st or near to that. Over details says that may new coin may come and this bitcoin may rid off. Will this is possible in BIP91 fork or in any hard fork.

I think first of all, what is the meaning behind "Bitcoin will Ends?". Does it mean that BTC will crease all trading operation or remove entirely from world wide web (lol)? Does it mean that BTC price is dropped maybe to a very low range? I will always ask when people say Bitcoin will die, bitcoin will end. Even Nokia brand doesn't "end" this abruptly by the way.

Human greed is not to be underestimated. You will never know what greed might push anyone or someone to think and act! :-X

This rumor has spread over a long period of time
This subject is repeated
However, I still do not believe Bitcoin will end on August 1st
But many people have sold Bitcoin for fear that this will happen

The actual thing is that nothing going to end here .
First of all here you need to learn that most of the sites of Bitcoin news related articles , don't know much about this matter and they are writing useless posts , only to make earnings through advertisement .
But here the matter is normal , we need only to follow the guidelines that the official team of the Bitcoin s saying .
Here are the main points that you should keep in your mind .
1) transfer all the Bitcoin at that address where you can export your private key easily .
2) Don't make send and receive before 12 hours of the 1 August and after the 1 August until it get confirmed officially that everything is right .
3) If anything get solit, then they will give us a software where we need to out our private key and make some changes to get the splitted coin and main Bitcoin .

So here you can see , everything is fine and nothing to get worrying about it .

no the bitcoins will not end, it will rise just wait and watch it will become more popular so dont worry

Agreed, splitting is just an major event same as we have halving. This is a once in a history event unlike halving that takes place every four year. Even during halving the price used to decrease and pumps at certain price point. In the similar manner the price might increase after price decrease, but there is nothing to fear that bitcoin ends by that particular day as the thread title states.

Understand this way.
In simple language,
BIP141-
It is the old Segwit solution implemented by 25% miners.
BIP91-
This is the new segwit2x solution. That is getting activated. This is the first step for 2mb block increase llimit.
BU-
Is the Bitcoin Unlimited showing support 31.9%.   

The second step for Segwit2x (after BIP91) will be BIP148 which will get activated on 1st August. This will require 80% support.

Again drama topic about the end of Bitcoin. We can expect to be overflown with such subjects in the next week. Just don't panic and inform yourself about happenings and what are the actual options.  Bitcoin will not end, will not be useless and whatever happens it will survive.

Im considering that you are very panicked and thinking about the option that bitcoin will end
Yes this one can happen because segwit situation is made with two possibilities that is either it splits or doesnt. Now happening of split would have been sure if the support to segwit was less but currently the news says different thing. Segwit which is tied up with traditional bitcoin is clearly having more supporters as compared to the one which would be BTC-X.  Having considered this bitcoin price has started pumping again and the reality has changed for splitting of the coins.
As i said it has got no point and bitcoin would live more than any of us could.

No Bitcoin will not "ends". Nothing will happen, business as usual. I suggest you read a bit before you post stupid posts.

There is still a little time and I think that the panic will rise more and more the closer will be on August 1, but I think this is another bad news that wants to destroy the confidence of newcomers.

it's no big deal, even if hard fork happened, you sew ethereum dead??

Let suppose, after 1st august, if a dump in the price of bitcoin occur, so it is does not mean that bitcoin is going to die and it will be the ended time of bitcoin. Up and down in the market of every field happen, but it should not be assumed that the whole market is going to collapse. Bitcoin cannot be end because the main guaranty of promoting of bitcoin are those businessmen who earn money through black market.

I do not think there is any guarantee of your opinion.
We'd better wait for the time to arrive on the 1st of August.
And everything will be clear.

You will have both BTC and BCC. personally, I would treat BCC like any other altcoins.

No, But I think bitcoins may increase further on August 1.

It seems to me that the situation on August 1 is getting a bit clear. And already many have started talking about the fact that there will not be a split. And this means that we will get a more reliable currency with low commission and fast transactions

No it wont infact it would be more stronger on this upcoming August 1 specially when BIP 91 would be activated and i would really be happy that there would be no split happening since the support for bip 148 and segwit is very high which we would really see that price would increase even more instead of dumping. Expect for price to swell up specially after that August 1 event and we should really watch out for that.

Wow if bitcoin will run out I have to be like where when I just came out of my job to play this bitcoin hopefully bitcoin does not end

It looks like a funny story to leave your job aside and spend full time with bitcoin  :D what ever happens during these scaling,i am sure bitcoin will come out on top in the end,i do hope that there wont be any split in the network,even if there is a split the coin with more followers will win eventually and the price would rally as usual,so there is nothing to be worried in my opinion.

A lot of news that says bitcoin will be separated on the 1st of August. I do not if this is the end of bitcoin story. If we see a lot of bitcoin users of this world. I'm sure bitcoin will continue to go along with the growing popularity of bitcoin. Segwit issues only make us worry but dijelaska in various news some tips that we can do on the 1st of August. Please read on this forum or there is searching for other knowledge on google.

Havent you still read yet the latest news? BIP 91 have been locked in and there would be no August 1 event already which this BIP have been activated already which means theres no split on bitcoin which is really a good news for us bitcoin users. Bitcoin wont end or die anytime soon but yet it would become more stronger as the years goes by.

i do not think that it is so easy that bitcoin will comes to an end. in fact bitcoin is becoming more popular from time to time. people are accepting bitcoin and i am sure that bitcoin will continue for long long time. in fact it is just the start of bitcoin and we can see that still not more that 1% people have still accepted bitcoin so it will take a long time when all the people will start using bitcoin and therefore we can expect that bitcoin will continue for  a long long time, may be forever.

I thought that since the bitcoin miners all majorly voted for bip-91, that we no longer had to worry about August 1st? Am I wrong in assuming this?

Currently, all information about btc is dead or split into two btc types are all false.
They spread rumors like that so people who have money will have the opportunity to buy.
After 1 August btc will be up to 4k usd per btc.
That's what's going to happen: D

No bitcoin will not end in the date of august1 because bitcoin for after on that date will become stronger and stronger and many people buy bitcoin because they dont have doubt in their mind so they invest in bitcoin so the price will increase. Everything is will be fine so dont worrt bitcoin will recover if they dump but I hope the price will increase ir maybe become stable . Hold your bitcoin dont sell it.

Some says bitcoin will separate on August 1.
I think bitcoin will still be there after August 1 and will not end or totally disappear just like that. I just read and heard something about bitcoin split together will the new bitcoin called bitcoin classic and the old bitcoin but I am still not sure about it. Let's just wait for August 1.

I think that is just like a threat or maybe that is just the truth. There are 2 things that may happen in August 1, it is either, the network split, or the Segwit. I want the Segwit because I want to see or to have a developed bitcoin. Also for me, if bitcoin will never be developed, it will not be facing the future.

I am happy to see of all your comments.
Really thanks to @ll

We have a week to go to find out whats really going to happen, imo hope it doesnt split to keep bitcoiners united

Because of a fork? No ways bitcoin will live on just like other altcoins that have done this before

      I totally disagree about that fond idea that bitcoin will gonna end this coming the first of august. It can't be helped since there are too many people spreading false informations and news that could lead the people panicking in the end. Keep ot calm its not yet the end as he said we got one more week to go and lets wait what will happen next.

I also do not believe that bitcoin will cease to exist on August 1. This can not happen, because I just came to the bitcoin community)))

But seriously, bitcoin will not die because for many countries it has already become part of the economy. Bitcoin can not just disappear, many millions of dollars already invested in it

No bitcoin don't end on August 1 but her price increased and he being more famous .Now bitcoin price acheave 4000$ .

Maybe the price will be more than 4000 $, considering the end of the year stay a few more months. Usually adjacent to the day of celebration and the end of the year many issues will develop that instead of dropping the price of bitcoin but even higher. Remember when the 1st of August ago even though the time has finally passed and the growing concerns have not happened at all.
Is this indeed a deliberate element of investors so bitcoin actually be more sought after?

yes now all right again.

Thank you guys

See they were thinking bitcoin to be end on 1st august but it is about to be the end of august bitcoin is still here changing life, improving life styles giving hope. I remember the time when I started using bitcoin years back it had so low amount that no one ever thought that it would last for even 1 year but still it survived more than year. It will still survive until the mankind is here to support it. Nothing can be happened to it.

How is August first over, lol. I am just joking, I actually thought that we would hear about August 1st all the way up to August 23rd. But it seemed like once we got past the first nobody really seem to care about the 23rd when the actual swegit took place. Maybe they were just more into arguing the case then in the actual results.

Actually bitcoin end, the price that's it around $3000 and now we are going to $4500. We have forward with this Aug 1 thingy and now that Segwit activates the price could go another ATH in the new few days.

I still don't understand why people are really so hard on bitcoin that they want to end it. However, the more you think that will happen, the more bitcoin prove its resiliency but rising up and going for more.


Because they argue that Segwit is already price in when we see that bitcoin goes above $4000. However, it doesn't look that cause because the price is continue to go up everyday. So they are wrong again thinking that the price is already in when the Segwit activation a few days ago. Next stop is $4500.

Bitcoin is in its dumping phase now but chances are, the value may not get below 3k dollars even at its worst. However, the prices will rise up again in the Month of November and December for sure and then it could reach around 6k dollars easily.
All these changes are usually done to attract more people.

probably will not happen because bitcointalk already exists all over the world and its very many fans, maybe bitcointalk will be closed in 2050.
