Should I expect dump before another fork and put my money from crypto to USDT or shall I put everything to BTC ?

Your money, your choice... But taking advantage of a dip is always good ;) However, I don't think forks will create many price fluctuations from now on...

I think the bitcoin gold fork will actually increase the price since people will be wanting bitcoin gold. The 2X MB hard fork will be another story. People will panic sell due to uncertainty.

Never put everything you have into one currency. One way to ensure going broke one day.

its all speculation at the best, if we can predict which way the price would face, for the coming events, we can make a lot more $$$.
However, thats not that easy and relative to other events, investor sentiment, and bot network who sells/buys... so... just HODL?

I don't think so. in past fork on August 1, there were some poeple sell their their bitcoins because they were worry to lose them. despite of this. Bitcoin price rised. This time, with what people learned,  there will be smaller number of people sell their bitcoins. So I except the price to rise very much.

I expect BTC would grow as well...do you know what price of btc gold could be? :-*

I dont know, but probably people will only dump their bitcoin gold, not their real bitcoins, just like happened on August 1nd, i remember that everybody were dumping their bitcoin cash, and i think that the same will happen in november.
And everybody is buying more bitcoin because they are waiting for the fork, so i dont think that the price will suddenly dump, because most people is only buying, not selling.

No one knows for sure but if the last fork is any indication, the price will go up and I'm betting there will be a lot more hard forks in the future

There's possibility that dip will happen before the fork but I don't see any dip happening this week because the price of bitcoin will pump and slightly dump will happen acouple of days before the fork.

It's your choice to take the risk because no one knows when will it going to happen and what will going to happen. Still it's a good choice to take advantage of the fork since you will gonna get a lot of profit from it. But you can't do it right now nor tomorrow because what is just happening is just a normal fluctuation and there's no fork happening yet. News said there might be another fork that's going to happen at November and it would create another split just like what happen to BCH. So, it's up to you if you wanna get advantage of it at the end of the month, this month.

yes maybe, because people will panic and would sell their bitcoins before the fork just like happened on the recent hardfork last august. also  it depends on you , if you want to earn more profit then put all your cash in bitcoins because soon it will like to pump again and will surpass the current 4000$ limit.

"before the fork" means at least 1 month before the deadline of the fork. and we are at that date right now but as you can see price is recovering fast and rising up, not paying any attention to any forks.

also if you want to cash out, then do it to USD (real fiat) not to another altcoin that promises to be like real fiat (USDT). tether is riskier than you think.

OP, you have everything in reverse. If Bitcoin drops, make it your job to look for more fiat and buy the dip. The main objective is to get as much coins as you can for the big pay off. Trading back and forth will only give more stress and not enough profit as you make mistakes in timing the market.

Yes I think we should expect another dump before the hard fork because it seems that the price now is increasing and I don’t think this will just continue without another drop like what happen in the first hard fork but it much better if it will not happen and only appreciation will took place. Bitcoin is unpredictable better be ready.

No, don't put everything in BTC it is too much risky Meanwhile before the fork it is a sure thing that bitcoins will going to dump so it is the time for you to buy much lower price.

From the experience of the 1st fork ,I can tell you that BTC is not going to dumped before the fork. As in the previous case every one was expecting BTC at 1700$ before the fork, BTC was strongly at 2700$ at that moment and it keep going up after the fork.

No, i feel no dump only gain. Peoples will sell everything to get btc and its babies fork .

I expect a little duo after another fork but the wisest choice one can do during this time is just hold every btc already got since one will get free money after fork so it doesn't matter if it dips a little, it will still give dome profit through the freely given btc forked version. Although that is the case if you have money on other crypto, feel free to also hold them. Don't put your money in one basket.

The previous fork offered free btccash for everyone who has bitcoin depends on wallet or what exchange supported btc cash. Since another fork is comming people are expeciting to have free BTC Gold for them. So i guess you could put all in bitcoin in a wallet to acquire the BTC that might be given with the same amount as how much bitcoin he stored in that wallet. This time maybe just make sure you have good wallet and put it all in one basket. Split if after the fork.

Bitcoin is unpredictable so better expect the unexpected..it can increased and reach $6000 this week but it can also drop and may reach $3500 we all don't know all we have is the hope that bitcoin will continue to be successful and that it keeps increasing its taking risk and taking chances.

things aren't really that unpredictable though! maybe to people who are new and unfamiliar with bitcoin market it seems unpredictable but it really is not. for example $6000 in 1 week is not going to happen the same way $3500 is not.
right now the fork drama is starting up but it is not really that big a deal. so you can be sure the rise is going to continue on its way up without any problems. specially since it is after a big dip and we are in the correction of that dip. but if it gets worse and a widespread FUD campaign starts things can change. but nothing yet happened.

I'm not sure right now, but i feel like that there should be at least some confusion generated from the segwit2x fork just a few weeks or days before it is implemented to get price down to a lower level than it currently is.

People may start panic dumping and whatever.

React to that news, by buying the dip. That's always the way to go.

Honestly, I don't think any dump will before the coming fork because the past experience of free money which happened by the past fork will make the demand of bitcoin increase and this coming fork free money will give the person holding 1.025BTC the total of 1.11BTG. So, I don't think people will afford to loose this golden opportunity.

Everybody is saying the same thing. "No dip because Bitcoin Cash and free money." Generally, when everyone thinks the same thing, the opposite happens. So I'm not going to share everyone's confidence that Bitcoin will continue to moon in the face of a network split. We have 5-6 weeks left until the fork, so we can continue to moon for now.

And BCH/B2X really aren't comparable. One was a spinoff altcoin that never pretended to be anything different and never had majority hash power. The other is offered as an "upgrade" with no replay protection, backed by major services and possibly a majority of the global hash rate.

Main rule on this cryptocurrency world. "EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED" sorry for the caps but this thing should really be highlighted knowing that prices do move randomly without any basis or reasons but on this upcoming fork we can already presume since we did already see what happen on previous fork.We did see a decreasing price of bitcoin before the fork happen which supposedly or might possibly happen again this time.This is why you should really ready your bags.

We have already experienced the Aug 1 event  so believed it will be the same situation on the next fork therefore if we have our bitcoin already, i suggest we should hoard it and if the bitcoin value will lower down then it would be out chance to buy bitcoin at the cheaper price compare of today and add to our investments but i expect slightest impact this time in talking of price value compare to Aug 1 so lets wait and see.

We dont know what will happen to bitcoin price before abother fork they have possibility the price decrease or increase.
Its up to you if you want to convert your crypto or bitcoin to uSD what happen to that its yours not me.

I dont think it is going to happen, people are investing much more money in bitcoin than before, because they want bitcoin because it seems like a strong currency for them, i saw a notice in my local newspaper a few days ago, and it said that bitcoin seems like a strong currency for our financial system, and i think that the same is happening on a lot of countries.
Dont expect it to go down again, buy now before it is too late.

Even if the price drops in the first days after the fork, which is likely to happen since each side will dump some of the coins, you still have profit by doing nothing. The price of at least one of them will recover so the profit will be even more. This is why, in my opinion, is a good idea to buy Bitcoin now, before the fork, and this is what I'm doing. I am in favor of Bitcoin (BTC) and that is the blockchain that I will support in any case.

Although no one know about that either before another fork the price of bitcoin will increase or decrease, but I think that more chances are that there will be no such effect on the price of bitcoin in next fork. For the first time people were a little worried but now they are not  carrying about and therefore I do not think expect any huge selling before the 2nd fork.

its not routine that every time you hear of a bitcoin fork you need to dump your coins, this is all personal preference which could be a good profit generator or this could cost you as prices might rally to new heights and make it expensive for you to get back were you left.

I hope this does not happen has these forks tend to disrupt the order of the day, business must go on.

Why the price will increase its obvious that the price is turning to increase more and i see the price of bitcoin movement is getting more increase.
Because the 2nd fork can give them a real profit from free coin they can for free so if you have more bitcoin holding in your wallet and you are using a wallet which is you full control not and wallet that you are using in exchanges you can get the benefits of getting coins or token free the same what happen in bitcoin cash..
That is why the price right now are getting high because of this and you can get your real profit and free coins ..

So expect after the fork the price could be decrease. after they get token or coin after the fork because they will sell their bitcoin too because of the price increase after the fork..

If you doubt, put 50:50 in cash and bitcoin.
But, I am sure bitcoin price will reach another ATH over $5000 in this month, next hard fork by the end of this month mean nothing if they want to sell it through ICO https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2133536.0.
Bitcoin price won't affected significantly by segwit2x I guess, before and after hard fork, bitcoin price may drop a little bit but will continue to increase.
It happened before, when Bcash hard fork occured, bitcoin price seems increase and not affected by hard fork, like nothing happened. Few days after hard fork, bitcoin price fallen down, but could recovered obviously.

I also thinking of the same way but only on the part that I am exprcting for backdrops to happen since the november hardfork is approaching but I'm not thinking of converting my Bitcoin since I know that it will again increase after the hardfork if ever its value will fall. It is the same with what happened last month of august when the recent hardfork happened which made the value of Bitcoin to go skyrocket from 2800 to 4400 in  just a short period of time. So I think it is better to just Hold.

Two forks will be happening in these two months.

First is Bitcoin Gold scheduled on 25th Oct. I would say it will go rather unnoticed in terms of impact on price. People are already prepared and won't panic this time because of earlier Bitcoin Cash fork. Price won't be affected much and even if there would be a dip, it won't last for days also.

Segwit2x fork is rather unpredictable. There are many scenarios that can take place and price will be affected accordingly. It will all depend upon the consensus supporting hardfork. Right now saying anything about the price effect would be early.

I made the big mistake of converting my Bitcoin into the local fiat money at the height of the August hard fork and I regretted it since then. Hope you won't be making the same mistake. However, if you are sure of what you are doing then go ahead. You can take back your Bitcoin when the value is down...that is if there would be such a movement because of the coming hard fork (again)...some can be good of doing this strategy but not for me.

We would see if the market for Bitcoin has already gone beyond the possible spread of FUDs especially when we are near the implementation of the scheduled hard fork. As for me, I will just do nothing especially that I also want to receive my free share of the birth of the new altcoin called Bitcoin Gold. In addition, am hoping that this can be the last split for the next few years as this is surely taxing to the Bitcoin network and can affect the growth potential of the coin.

Bitcoin is risky investation but if you dare to take the risk , just put all your money that you can afford to loss into BTC because bitcoin provide a better profit compare when I invest on gold. No matter what happen , bitcoin will keep increase as we can see that more people interest on bitcoin


So if I put let say 1 btc on blockchain and electrum
Will I got btc gold on both wallet ?

Dumping Bitcoin before Bitcoin Gold fork would be mere stupidity. There will barely be any effect on price because of Bitcoin gold fork. I doubt even miners are seriously considering the Gold fork. Regarding Segwit 2x, I am bit skeptical. I think that fork might bring a dip. I was reading some articles and the outcome of 2x fork is still not very clear since there is no clear majority as for now. But regarding October fork. There is nothing to be panic about.

at times like this i always give the same advice: if you have too much bitcoin that you can not afford to lose then start selling and sell as long as you reach to an amount (leftover) that you can afford to lose and then hold that.
people usually forget this.

as for forks, the BTG fork is mostly a joke to create some premined money.
the SegWit2x fork is completely unpredictable right now. people give their guesses a lot these days but they are all "guesses".

I don't think there will be a dump this time around.  During the last fork, people didn't know what to expect and dumped their BTC because of fear.  Of course in the crypto world it's impossible to predict what's going to happen so let's wait and see.

I believed not. because there's always dump a month before the fork . It happened twice and that's what I see in bitcoin price. as I see right now there's no another dump that will happen because bitcoin price really recover from the last big dump. If there's another dump before the fork maybe bitcoin will die instantly that's why they don't let that happen. it always a month before the fork.

IF we consider as per last time when hard fork happened there was nothing much effect of it on bitcoin. Infact after the hard fork the prices went continuously up only and due to which people who had hold their coins had actually made the good profits and were rewarded accordingly for holding their coins.

Maybe that would be the first thing to came to our minds since if you think hardfork is done and the price is so huge and for that we already get some good profits if we sell today and might that would be the mindset came to the other holders to. But in the other case also If you really believe with the bitcoins strength then you must hold it since there are so many pump coming unto the bitcoins and yet this month seems the month that bitcoin gain more price.

What do you mean dumped I think they will hold until the fork was done as they will love to catch some free btc gold and people are wiser now and learned from what happen the last fork when btc dropped and most whales really enjoy collecting it and get a lots of btc cash as a rewards aside from the huge jumped of the price after the fork.

Well I am not expecting any dump after the fork because i think this would be same as the last fork in august. BTW to keep your expectations low in this business is a pretty nice idea because you wouldn't get hurt that much if the price drops. As far i have observed BTC is much reliable investment now so why bother? Better is to keep your calm and hold your BTC, the price will rise again if it falls after the fork.

i am also not expecting any dumb for some time. because people are still too much interested to invest money in bitcoin, and therefore we can expect that the p;rice of bitcoin will continue increasing for next few months, In fact the bearish trend of bitcoin is already over therefore we can only expect a bullish trend for few months.

Yes, you can. I also expect another dump before 2nd Hartfork. And you can put your money form crypto to USD for buying BTC or you can hold BTC for receiving free BitcoinGold. I did it.

Though no one can really determine the actual price of bitcoins, we must always consider the existence of "forks" that may happen. On your question, the fork might likely decrease the price of bitcoins, but it may soon regain its value sooner than we speculate. Generally, investors are taking advantage of these forks because this give them the perfect opportunity to invest into bitcoins, thus not actually affecting the price of bitcoins that much. It depends on the risk that you want to take but personally, buy bitcoins after the fork and invest half of it.

Obviously, you can. I think Bitcoin will dump Hardfork times again. That's why you can hold your Bitcoin, or you can put your money in any exchanger for buying Bitcoin. If you have some Bitcoin now, so you can put on a safe wallet. Because after the hardfork you will get free Bitcoin Gold coin.

Bitcoin might get unaffected by the Hard fork this time, after Bitcoin Cash people are not affected by such Hard fork. Right now, more and more people are investing in Bitcoin in hope of getting free Bitcoin Gold. Moreover, as seen in the past people expected a BTC dump in the emergence of Bitcoin Cash but it stood strongly at that moment also. Also, generally a dump is seen before one month of coming of Hard fork but one can expect a dump after few days of Bitcoin Gold Fork and before the coming of Bitcoin 2x Fork.

The society generally didn't like the idea of hard for or soft fork. They don't want to see bitcoin falling down and they started to hate fork attempts. All of the fork attempts will be unsuccessful unless they conduct a good marketing.

If the price of bitcoin decrease before fork its better to buy bitcoin because they have possible that you earn big profit once bitcoin recover from dumping or crashing. But as of now the price of bitcoin is very high and for sure it will continue to increase so you csn buy now bitcoin if you want but invest only you can afford to lose because we dont know what will happen to the price in the next few weeks.

I am expecting a dump before the said fork. This has always been a norm and the recent evidence is the hardfork that gave birth to BCH last August 1st. Whales may dump some of their coins that would result a price decline then the panic selling comes next making the price go even lower. Just hold your Bitcoins. If you want to have the alt bonus from that fork, keep your coins in an exchange that supports this fork or to a Bitcoin wallet where you own the private key.

The current rate is so amazing and bitcoins already crossed to the 5000$ level and this is so fast and maybe we can see the 6000$ to be achieved later on these days. And I'm sure that this pump is not enough since the fork is upcoming and there will be more buy orders to come so expect that there will be more good news and good sight to see for this coin and this is more exciting as days pass on this.

The news about hardfork is not too popular, so I dont expect there will be a huge dump, I actually predict more people will buy because they want to get bitcoingold, so I think I will just keep my coin and wont dump or change it to other coin, I expect there will be rising before the hardfork happen

It could be more of some kind of a "sell the news event" imo. 2x will be a no brainer as it has shown these guys have no clue what they are doing.Core had to show Garzik two times how he messes things up. More and more businesses are pulling out of NYA. The majority of the community is against it.
And the Bgold fork doesn't played any big role from the beginning on. The fear of forks is gone. People see it as opportunity to get more money and that's it.
So I wouldn't be surprised if we rally now in advance and see a dump at the actual fork day. So the opposite to what happened last tine when BCH forked.
Just some food for thought.

Don,t expect a dump to happen before the fork because of a key fact which is the uncertainty that surrounds the fork and to a large extent, this has been cleared via the last experience we had on the BCH fork. At the end of the day, we get to realise that its really not that bad as its being proclaimed. At that point I was equally perturbed but was resolute not to take any decision. This has been cleared now and I feel its the same thing for those who dumped then.

Post the fork is something one should be concerned about because in that even if there is a slight drop from the price but there will be a massive increment eventually.

I am pretty sure the market itself has answered your question already looking at how things have ended up turning out and I hope you made the right decision. It is much expected anyway looking at what happened in the previous fork and how so many people have learnt from it.

With respect to bitcoin prices, the pumps and dumps are happening but in long run only pumps are conquering at the end. Hence we cannot exepect any long sustaining dumps in near future.

I think you should first check your history, whenever there is a fork, people hoard bitcoins, they buy a lot since during the fork Bitcoin will produce a new altcoin, which in turn will give you extra cash. if you check the market now, it is clear that the value of Bitcoin is rising, and this is just before the upcoming Bitcoin gold for this month, then another fork by November, I think it is not likely that Bitcoin will take a dip some time soon, you should also check on what is happening now globally, there are a lot of good news that is happening, though there are still some negativity, like jpmorgab's Jamie dimon saying bad stuffs to Bitcoin again. I think even after the November's fork, there will be no Bitcoin dump, since Bitcoin will establish a new resistance and support, and as far as things goes, it is safe to say that bitcoin's value,  after the two forks will not go down below 4000 usd, again.

I think a good option you can do is put your money to bitcoin, but my advice do not put it all, you can determine how much you will put. Today the bitcoin price has reached $ 5200 and that is the price we are looking forward to, it's like a dream come true, if the same thing happens when the first hardfork, certainly the bitcoin price will continue increase after the second hardfork.

I think yes after this sudden pump that we are experiencing today maybe before the second hard fork bitcoin can possibly drop again, but we should not worry because after that it recover again and will surely pump. It's a good thing bitcoin passes $5000 it only means it will appreciate more in the coming years
