Bitcoin Forum

So the hard fork is near and it must be difficult for beginners to what to choose. I am myself confused what to do.
Vote your choice and see the results and share your opinions on the fork.
Obviously everybody would want to make this opportunity a profitable one by increasing the capital. So what do you think would be more profitable out of the given options.

I am already deep into alts and have no interest in selling them now at these low prices. I do have some reserve bitcoin in my cold storage, which I will be using again to buy more alts a day or two before the bitcoin gold fork.

Looking at the increase in value of Bitcoin in the previous hard fork, you can expect the value of Bitcoin to increase to a very high level. The value of Bitcoin can possibly climb above 5500$ mark. You will also gain some Bitcoin gold if you hold your Bitcoins and the value of Bitcoin gold can be around 500$ as well. So you can expect very high returns, if you hold your coins.
Holding altcoins is not a good option as increase in value of Bitcoin will surely lead to a blood bath in altcoin market. The value of altcoins will surely reduce to a very large extent of price of Bitcoin goes up.

Both, hold btc and buy altcoins sure if you can. If you will buy less than 2-3 bitcoin for the fork, it will not be profitable. Instead of this buy altcoins they are very cheap now.

In this hard fork I suggest you to hold the btc...because I also don't know that the price will increase or decrease...but if you hold btc and suppose the price will increases its very profitable for you...but in case the price will decrease then also don't worry because the price absolutely increase one day....so hold is best option for now..all the best

with some percentage of your bitcoins, you may consider investing some altcoins that you think it may shine faster. eventually it is always good to have mixed portfolio when you invest.

I'm going to hold my bitcoin. I don't know if I should turn most alt coins into bitcoin too. And after fork just trade back to alt coins.

I think this is also very confusing to us,  :)
see yesterday's btc divided by two and get free bch, this is very fun ;D

I prefer holding most of your BTC, and selling just a bit for buying alt coins, they're cheap now.

that is really tough decision to make. if you can hold your bitcoins and yyou can buy alt coins with another money you have that is the best but if you can't afford then you can buy some altcoins with your btcs.

i would probably withdrew all of my remaining bitcoin balance on my wallet just to be safe, but i think most people would leave it because they are expecting that a new coin will be born again out of bitcoin just like the ones happened on the last fork.  also im expecting that bitcoins price would be low due to most users would dump their coins.

In my oipnion you should go for both optoin mean in this current situation we are getting altcoins at low prices so basicaly we should buy and the other side Bitcoin is the biggest and greatest cryptocurrency​ in the world. So hold bitcoin for good returns in near future and If we sell altcoins at low price we will make loss in our capital , so dont sell them hold , its sure it will pump more.

Somehow I expect Bitcoin Gold to be a fiasco and worth shit...

Alts went down massive yesterday. I would've bought bags full of alts now...

You should do both. But invest into bitcoin more. Because you can certainly get a bunch of those gold for free when you keep a huge amount of bitcoins at hand. That is a guarantee. I mean, who wouldn’t want free money? Lol.
But still, altcoins are important because together with btc they will rise after the fork. So i suggest get bith and put a bit more on btc.

I recommend that you keep your funds in two assets: USDT and BTC. The third part can be invested in strong coins like LTC and ETH.

In confusion, I would rather hold BTC

It is difficult to choose, i hguess i'll do both keep my btc and invest in others while it is down

Shopping for altcoins is like wading through a blood bath right now. I'd prefer to see some lower volatility bases before buying into most alts at the moment. BTC looks strong and might be a solid hold into the Bitcoin Gold spinoff fork. I expect some turbulence in November with the 2X fork, but for now, it looks like many altcoins will continue to bleed while BTC rallies. I'll be buying alts in November. Too much blood right now.

I hold some Bitcoin for life time.On the other hand my few dollar spend to buy some good effective alt coins because I try to established crypto currency platform that's why I am working hard day & night.So if you want  to follow me.

By the time of fork the price gets pumped once after a dumping. So investing into some low value altcoins and then moving the same asset to bitcoin by the time of price dumping gets an added profit than just keeping hold of the bitcoin expecting a profit long-term.

HODL everything   :)

The hard fork has no real impact on price in the mid or long term.
Don't fret because of it.
Holding BTC and altcoins is a good strategy

Bitcoin gold fork can be sent as Bitcoin cash? as like how much bitcoin I havr, same amount Bitcoin gold can I get? Not getting answer. But I am also thinking it can be.
And I collect some bitcoin (litte amount)  on my wallet. ☺

HODL!HODL!HODL!HODL!HODL!HODL!HODL!HODL!HODL!HODL! ;D
Hold both your BTC and Alts..after fork a huge dip is coming  ;)

here are your options when reality kicks in:

bitcoin, is the only investment that matters. if you hold it, in long term it will go up no matter if now it is on the rise or now it is on the way down.

altcoins: if bitcoin drops will drop hard too! so you have no other choice to either hold bitcoin or convert back to fiat.

in the end, you should choose these options only if you are a trader. if you have experience in it you would know what to do, otherwise don't bother. just hold bitcoin and close down social media to have your mind at ease.

I am already invested enough on altcoins so i have to wait until their prices get in some profit.
But if i own some more btc i will buy altcoins cause they are cheap now!

i will hold it for waiting the fork and i use some part of my bitcoin to buy altcoin because the price is down hard but if you decide to buy too, its better if you analyze first. i think you don't need to confused to decide between hold btc or buy altcoin because you can do both like what i am doing later.  and if bitcoin price is down too because of the fork then you can decide to buy bitcoin too to add more bitcoin into wallet so if the price is back increase, you can make nice profit.

I have converted all my alts into bitcoin before the market crash this week, i just hope that bittrex will support the upcoming bitcoin gold hard fork, anyway for me im planning to hold my btc to get the free btg.

i choose both!
look at dash、zcash、 xmr!
don't tell me you never regret missing these altcoin!
the world never  rule by one !
if there is a sun, somewhere must  being moon!
if there is back , somewhere must be white!
if there is  hot ,somewhere must be cold!

For me it is better to hold BTC before hard fork happens for us to receive free coins. After the hard fork I think altcoin price still go down low so that is the best time to buy them. I am sure that this is profitable because that's what I did last August and it works for me because I got free Bitcoin cash worth the same as my BTC stored on my wallet with private keys. If you just chose to buy altcoins now you might miss the opportunity to earn free Bitcoin Gold. If you have some BTC on your wallet then why not buy altcoins now since price is low at this time just buy additional alts after segwit if the price still down.

Selling out your altcoins on cheaper prices would really be a dumb thing to do unless if you are already on gains then selling them would be a good idea to purchase more bitcoin because on the upcoming fork event we would earn another free coin from bitcoin which would potentially give us again free money just like on what happen on Bitcoin cash and then when you already gained profits on the free money you earn then its time to buyback again on the cheap altcoin in the market which have been decreased because of the effect of bitcoin fork.Just like that it would matter on how you would monetize this kind of events.

For who have a small capital,it's better to invest in alt,with the red market right now,it's easy to buy coin in cheap
But if you have a big reserve then you can sell alt and wait for the fork,though maybe it's late to sell now

I think buying into altcoins is a smart choice! The prices are really good right now, with some coins being at 50% or less of their previous ATH... when the next bull run happens they are gonna increase a lot, and very fast! And then people will FOMO in and you don't wanna me sitting on the sidewalk just watching it all unfold :P

Not doing anything. Way too risky to trade with that fork incoming. Bought a few dips already now hoping for nice returns once the new btc is dumped.

Maybe if you had a lot of bitcoin it's better to buy some amount of altcoins because there's a possibility that value of all altcoins are raising up. Furthermore holding some altcoins like ethereum, bitcoin cash, ark and waves are good investment. Also if I have a lot of bitcoin I've been choose to hold it for long time because I'm pretty sure that it will gives better profit in the future.

Hold BTC or Buy Altcoin is a very good as well as tough question. In my view BTC is grown up to a high level and now it will grow certainly but slowly. Whereas many other Altcoins are under valued in the market and in the future so many coin will grow to BTC. So I think we should hold both BTC and Altcoin. One may get benefit of growing Altcoin and BTC also.

Well i'd probably do the same now as with the previous hardnfork and hold my btcs. I'm still not that keen in dealing with alts especially in these situations so i'd rather be safe for the mean time and relax

My decision would be to hold on to BTC because just like what happened with Bitcoin Cash we might get free money and from that I can just buy an altcoin of my choice and I wouldn't have to spend anything from my own pocket so it is still a win-win situation.

I don't know if you look this video, but looks like BTC gold fork was already made on 01. October.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1UOAb5J2vU

I just hold eth  ;D

I can`t see any problem here or a reason to change anything. Probably the same thing will happen like in the Bitcoin Cash fork.

I have been holding bitcoin all along and it will never be wrong. What is the worst case that can happen when you hold bitcoin? In the case that bitcoin price fall after the fork, the alt coin that people are holding will also suffer a dip. These alt coins are correlated to bitcoin. However, there are some alt coins will able to tank more than bitcoin so that can be a better option like ltc. But you will still have an extra coin now to reduce your losses.

The best scenario is to buy both BTC and altcoins in the dip. However due to limited money, I will choose to hold BTC and buy altcoins that is super cheap in the dip.

Same here mate! I was really having some hopes last week that some of the coins would get pumped somehow this week, so rather than selling for losses, I held and had a very busy weekend to monitor the price, only to get to bittrex this morning to see a huge bloodbath for almost all the Alts. The best thing however like you have said is just to hold until the coast is clear and we can start seeing some more pumps for them gradually after the fork maybe.

Definitely buying alts for a discount.

at this time, better hold btc only. because BTC will fly until the fork is finished.

This is what you will do. Take profit when BTC will go at 5200 USD. And then while the market is on its red mark at that time. Go and sell your bitcoins and buy alternative coins. THat's how you'll do it. And take profit on altcoins. Switch to BTC and then get btc gold :D

hold btc and claim free btcg :ez money:

Its really going to be hard to decide the way altcoins is going to directed byt generally there is going to be a pump but on which direction is what we don't know. The deciding factor still relies on investing what you can afford to lose and have it at the back of your mind that its a risk you willing to take. For me, I will buy the few ones I believe in while the ones I have currently, will still be held till the post fork period.

With what is going on in the market presently, you really would not want to consider exchanging your bitcoin for altcoin cause that apparently will be your loss in three ways.
1. People are dumping altcoins pretty fast just to get the free cash being spread around by holding bitcoin.
2. Bitcoin's value is increasing gradually and it wont be nice if you come back and cant get bitcoin for that value you sold it anymore.
3. You will really do not want to miss the train of at least some free cash.

now altcoin so blood,, if you want to buy,, this is time to buy altcoin,, hold n forget
but be careful to select coin,,,  good luck ;)

I'd like to vote for altcoins, but I can't.

Yes. I also have a similar opinion. With the current situation on the btc market pays much more, and probably stands. Do not risk too much because it is rarely worth it. In your place I would certainly not do it.

What'll happen to LTC after hardfork? And what is hardfork?._.

Buying more altcoins is looking more attractive for me. I've made a lot this August with alts!

Read this, now everyone who have 5 min can make Bitcoin fork. It write that Bitcoin gold is a scam.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/757jf4/here_is_why_bitcoingold_is_shady_and_a_scam_you/

I voted hold bitcoin , bitcoin always is main  in crytocurrenty world.   Hard fork or soft fork is no effect  with bitcoin .

However , with bitcoin gold  i think investors like hold bitcoin to have more bitcoin gold . investors can buy  huge amount bitcoin  to receive bitcoin gold , this is power push   price bitcoin $10000.

Both for me, but I don't think this one will be as lucrative as bitcoin cash was.
I have a lot of alts that are too low for me to want to sell. I'm expecting money to flow from alts to btc in advance of the fork though, and then flow back afterwards. The most important thing to do is not panic sell if there are any crazy price fluctuations.

Today I just use 100% of my BTC to buy more AltCoin, and will keep trading them until the Fork.
If I'm lucky enough and can take profit on my AltCoin 3 days prior to the Hard Fork, I might fancy a break and stay 100% BTC.

Basically it will all depend of the opportunity... and 2 weeks is a lot of time left!

I think that the best option in this situation is to save the bitcoins and wait for the fork

I'm holding eth and even though free btc gold seems nice I don't think it's a good time to trade eth for btc. I think I'll just buy come altcoins while they're cheap.

It's always a tricky question to answer, cause it's always depends on the ICO you are currently interested in and a perfect solution is to make up your mind whether you are going to stay with the safer Bitcoin option in the long run or would rather prefer to make quicker money with altcoin. Another logical outcome of this that alternative coins can enable you to make more money, but you should always remember that there is a lot of risk, so you have to evaluate everything carefully and always keep in mind that by buying any alternative coin you may loose all your money, which you have invested. So if you are looking for a stable and safe growth you should go with the BTC option, while for those, who have a tendency to risk and expect higher rank of return on investments should opt for alternative currencies. Might sound too obvious, but that's just the way it is

how much BTC must be held to get BCG? is there a minimum like ETH fork?

I prefer to hold btc I'm not sure about Hard fork but we should first observe before doing something nasty.

Altcoins are cheap now, it is a good time to stock up and then watch them rise up in greater numbers. After that, you can buy lots of bitcoin as they will rise faster than btc - assuming you pick the right coins  ;)

I myself choose to buy altcoin like ETH.
because this altcoin possibility has a good price.
this coin is getting more and more popular and many ICOs are using ETH and that's why I'm interested.

Voted fro hold bitcoin and till now its the winner list :) .actually I am going to hold all of my bitcoin.Bitcoin price is increasing now daily.Hope it will increasing more within this year.I also believe that, hard fork is a good way getting a new alt coin with my bitcoin.so why i like hard fork.

After another hard fork and the formation of gold bitcoin, I would not be in a hurry to part with it. We must first observe what will be his first reaction, how he will behave, and then decide what to do with it. It also seems to me that there should not be a sharp drop in his rate.

bought omg and lisk today on the dip, tought i made a good deal, but it finally went deeper lol

My alt portfolio is taking a beating but I've accumulated enough through all the dips and valleys but I will take a wait and see approach.
If alts keep falling I may add more OMG, WTC with the BTCs I have sitting on exchanges.
Otherwise I plan on holding my BTCs in my wallet and doing nothing and stop looking at blockfolio everyday.
I don't have high expectations for BTC-gold

I will just hold my btc and wait for free money. Once bitcoin gold is already distributed, at I'll dump it and buy altcoin that has potential to grow.

I'm buying the altcoins. Now the market is down. Now, if you hold a month to buy altcoins, then surely there will be double profit. So, I will buy some good altcoins. It will be the best

For me! I used two way! Hold BTC COIN AND BUY some altcoin

I will just hold my Bitcoin like I did for years and see what the outcome of fork will be.
HODL has always been the best choice, even if it dropped, it always has recovered and risen over the last price peak.
Don't make the same mistake a lot of users did the previous fork.

I think with the rising bitcoin prices its would be worthwhile to try and hold longer for better bitcoin prices and also buy some altcoins as bitcoin powers up in value and get the alts cheaper.

I'm always for holding btc. But when there is blood in the altcoin streets..might be wise to buy some as well.

If you have more than 1btc, then my suggestion is Hold. But if you have less than 1btc, then buy alt coin, you will make profit out of this mess, once it's done.

I think both strategies have the right to life, but it's not worthwhile to merge alts right now just for the sake of fork. Most likely, some exchanges will also double the account, but I doubt that the second time there will be such a speculative price increase, and the coin cut does not sound so good. In general, I am for sobriety thoughts and clarity of mind. Do not make unambiguous decisions.

well I have some bitcoin but I am so pissed off by those forks. They are just printing money and people fall for it, common guys! I hope this will be the last fork of bitcoin because it is ridiculous!

How long do you guys think alts will stay in red? I want to buy but I am a week away from being able to do so. I always miss the good sales. :(

I don't think i'm smart enough to fully understand right now but i'd spread myself over a few very potentially stable and promising looking Alts.
Fingers crossed!

I think both would be the right thing to do during hard fork or days before hard fork, because of you hold on to your BTC then your chances of getting a free coin would be awesome right? And buying altcoins at the same time because most altcoins would likely be on sale

I totally agree with you mate. I do not even see the scenario with bitcoin being the worst case since eventually it will still come back with a win even if it takes a while which I don’t really see the possibility of it even after the fork. The rate at which the alts have gotten pretty bad in itself is really not good, and it is unpredictable what becomes of them even before the fork, so safest way is to stick with the bitcoin until the cloud becomes clear.

Very useful poll. It clearly shows what the major community will do. I prefer to agree with public opinion and keep BTC to get free coins as it was at this summer.

I bought alot altcoin and the price now is very low while I bought at higher price, its confusing

Where is the decentralization if every times the "kings" say "fork" the ships get scary and sell all for btc?

with these premises , today BTC is the most scam coin for a investor.

many fine words, but finally people move to the same direction..to the ravine.

Hold the b*lls before think to hodl the altcoins.

I prefer Hold Bitcoin because something i heard news if you can hold your Bitcoin in wallet. When after create hard fork you get bonus new coin.But just i heard through my friends otherwise i have no idea about hard fork.

Personaly i have no choice :/
I'm stuck with my alts who dumps and i have no more fiat.
I'll just wait till they pump again.

But if i had some fiat i would definitely buy somme Alts like BAT / OK / PAY / VTC / PTOY / GNT

Im fully in alts too.Yeah it hurts a bit now but I dont care.
I believe in crypto im currently hodling.

Whats going on right now is little bit too much stupid and it will be over this or next month.

BTC with its Segwit2x dark future worries me and I feel more safe in alts right now.

I prefer to hold btc on my wallet rather than buy altcoin. Because buying altcoins will put you on risk again, better play safe without a risk and buy several cheap bitcoins. That's what usually I do.

I think it would be reasonable to do both. Nobody knows where the market will go. Now a very precarious situation and better to be safe.

I like altcoins as I just have a little bit money. Investing bitcoin need a larger amount to get huge profit.

if you would like my advice you should keep your altcoins yesterday and today it reached 4818.01 US Dollar (at this very momentà. i could say it will rise up even more in the next comiing days.

On this page you can find out that the course will continue. I do not think it can be clearly stated, but maybe I'm wrong ...
Can you give a clear answer, because I would like to know the answer?

BTC already skyrocketing. I expect BTC to go dramatically up 5-7 before the fork, then will do a mini-flash crash after the fork, as people rush to scoop up cheap altcoin with their free money.

5-7 days out: people dump alt and buy btc in prep for hard fork (already seeing the beginnings)
zero day: people get their free bgold, once it hits market, massive dump of bgold back into btc
24 hours after: people scoop up super cheap alt, dumping btc with their free bgold money

Just my opinion :)

CryptoDoll

People are expecting bch scenerio  again, for me I will err on the side of caution. Nobody knowwhat iz going to happen  to bitgold! It might be worthless!

Altcoin price is now very cheap but i advise you not to buy right now because surely this market will go down one more time and Bitcoin will reach $ 6000. If Bitcoin reaches $ 6,000 then you should consider investing altcoin because at $ 6000 the Bitcoin price will drop a lot to stabilize.

I think right now good time to buy and hold bitcoins, not the best but also good prise grows and probably will be. Howewer some altcoins can be profitable too. So if you have a time for both this things I prefer to do both.

I recomend you to hold in btc because i hear issues in the next hf btc will split again and it'll result btg so you'll get btg same as the amount of your btc otherwise it is on confirm after this hf done btc will go to the moon.

i prefer to hold bitcoin as most of people. Yes it is easy to buy lots of altcoin on cheap price maybe for trading but it is stressful.
most of the altcoins (except of a fews) don't give confidence to me. but holding bitcoin always feels good even if its price down.

i think you should hold Btc and buy altcoins.speaking of hard fork i hade heard that The ethereum developers are expected to run ethereum's next hard fork for a few the weeks coming.

less than 1 month we will facing hardfork and the price of bitcoin today was so high but i don't know this is bubble or not and i fear at the end of this month bitcoin price will be dropped but as be the bitcoiners this is the risk of volatile bitcoin however i decide to hold my bitcoin with the risk if the price will dropped but i still believe bitcoin will stronger after hardfork

try to have both of them. . .  and also it deepens  from the type of investment. for long term and less risks HOLD BTC :)

Hold your BTC.
The gys that are trying to get rid of their Bitcoin Gold is only trying to get their fast money. You shouldn't have to insert your private key in anything or move your Bitcoins, Bitcoin should get stored and left alone if you are really trying to make money via Btc.

As in the quote, hold bitcoin is the right pick. We cannot determine the value of altcoins, because there are several ways of pumping the growth. With some the growth is promised and happens based on the growth, whereas in some the fake pumping will be taking place and the growth it indicates were not the real one.

Lol all i see is misplaced priority. FUD

Definitely I would choose to buy bitcoins because the price never dropped. I mean everytime a wrong thing that was meant to affect bitcoin happened its price dropped and then increased back to the normal value. I think the same thing is happening with the popular altcoins, they keep their price the same or it gets higher. I recommend to buy only altcoins that are old enough and are well known

You are all busy collecting bitcoins and then selling potential coins or tokens that cause the altcoin price to drop dramatically while I'm busy to buy that potential coin or token.
Because I'm sure the price is definitely going up. 8)

I like free coins without any work. So my bet is on HODL BTC. It would be much better than trying to find the moment for buying altcoins.

Well I'm going to hold my BTC and might buy some alt coins I been keeping an eye for a long time.

I voted both. Holding BTC is a must, but there are good altcoins to buy as well. For example, I'd like to buy Bitquence, but today this coin has a big pump and thus I think I will wait to buy it until price goes down again.

I think it would be nice if you hold your Bitcoin, who knows will happen the same thing when Bitcoin Cash finished hardfork,
we will be given Bitcoin Gold free when hardfork finished, :D

My choice was to sell some altcoins one week ago, and I want to buy them back at lower price, almost everyone know that the fork will cause dropping in altcoins price and increasing in Bitcoin.

Some anonymous people will give you a free coin with value of 0$ and people sell altcoins for get this, even if will worth 50$ will be just 1% of profit.

You can have much more in altcoins.

But big problem of this Bitcoin gold is....who will buy it? why should someone buy it?

People will sell soon will get, but no one will buy... this is not Bitcoin cash is just a scam coin.

But you need to store your Bitcoin in wallet can gives you the permission manage your private key. If you use online wallet as Coinbase, the time to receive your Bitcoin Gold will be longer than others.

i am holding till after the fork

both of them :)  now is time to keep both :)

I have voted for both. Keep my Bitcoins and altcoins, as well as buy some altcoins while they are cheap.

i never think buy btc when at august soft fork i didnt buy btc for btc cash.because when btc gold comes it cant cover my loss on the altcoins during this days.i choose the other way this is;When btc gold comes after people come altcoins again and prices will rise.i thought this rising will be much profitable than btc golds value.sorry for my poor english

If you are a BTC forked coin lover, den hold BTC

It really depends on which types of investors/holders you are, personally for me BTC = BTC, regardless of how it forked to multiple chain, i only need BTC

Therefore, my take would be buying altcoins :)

I hold Bitcoin more than I hold an Altcoin. I don't really want to have any Altcoins that can be unreliable whenever I plan on putting my Bitcoin somewhere.

The recent event has shown and proof that the See-Saw effect is true with Bitcoin and Altcoin so the best thing is to manage this very well with one portfolio. I hold both Bitcoin and Altcoin

I suggest to buy altcoin  than hold bitcoin when hard fork, some of good and stable coins we can make choices such as Ethereum, Populous World, NEO and Waves.

My option is holding bitcoin while the hardfork and buying alts right after the snapshot as fast as you can =))

I'd suggest to just do what you should always be doing. Never go all in on one coin. Spreading wealth between btc and altcoins is never a bad idea. I doubt btc gold will be worth too much anyhow though, but that's just my personal opinion.

I think u should invest on both of them.
If you have a lot of money, I think bitcoin is the best solution for you.
But altcoin can also provide many benefits, if you believe in the future of the coin you choose to invest.
You can participate in presale and it will give you a big advantage. I think that's a very easy way to get a profit.

Hold and Buy. Before the fork bitcoin's price might reach $5000 and while the price is still at that point invest some on altcoins. It is not guaranteed that you will earn in this method but it might give you some awesome returns. If you do have more btc than altcoin then it is better to hodl.

I'm allways to late. I would have if I were more prepared, sold all my altcoins and holded the BTC. now my altcoinportfolio is down with 20-30% so I can't sell now. the prices are to low. So for now it will be hold and buy more. next time I will be more prepared.

I like "buy altcoins" strategy. But according to this poll perhaps I need to change my opinion and strategy to act in accordance with the market.

I would recommend holding at least two altcoins because one of them might have a higher value compared to the other. Hold your Bitcoin as well.

i think HOLD. and if you a spare money just buy nice alts and save it,
and also you do it what he says:

i think you might get more profit.

currently altcoin is very cheap, I have enough capital, so I do both. hold bitcoin and buy some cheap altcoin. I am sure the price of altcoin will normal after hard fork.

In my point of view should hold BTC .

As Bitcoin gold fork is approaching, the buying demand and hence the price of Bitcoin is increasing. Along with that altcoin market is suffering massive dip. This shows for free Bitcoin Gold, people are abandoning  their altcoins to buy more BTC. It is completely opposite to what happened during BCH fork. This shows community learns fast. This uptrend is most probably will continue till 25th October and Bitcoin will be able to touch ATH during the process. After that there might be little correction and then a dip before 2x fork. I would say instead of selling altcoins at dip right now. Person should either keep on holding whatever he has or should buy both altcoins and Bitcoins more.

in my opinion better keep btc and then sold btc gold(buy altcoins),btc will grow till fork(its depend) maybe whale want to decrease alt coins to by cheaper price

In my opinion, I think buying more altcoins and holding the ones that you already have its actually wise to avoid complications and regrets. Never be too excited for something you haven't seen/used as yet since you might end up being disappointed. I am failing to understand the why a lot of investors are currently dumping their altcoins, I understand that there is the upcoming bitcoin fork, but I really don't think its worth it, dumping your altcoins and going for the something new, they don't even know much 1 bitcoin gold will be worth. Have you heard of the word 'HOLD', even in difficult times you should just apply it, for the better.

really hard fork is getting closer, and I prefer to hold my Bitcoin in comparison to buying altcoins. a little patience to do altcoin trade and wait.

Btc should go down to about 4600
today... the curve shows up that its time for a 50 % correction
And in the next time it should make a correction down to 3500 ... Also other altcoins
Afterwards if Australia accepts btc we could hope for btc to go up to 6000 or above

In case of this holding for long term or buying up altcoins on the ground for short term
would be good choices

Hold Bct Buy alts and buy btc when it drops ;)
Atleast that's what I'll do

If you want to grow your bitcoin, it is better to invest in ICO but if you are only a good holder. Happy on what you have, hold you bitcoin for a long term. Holding bitcoin will take a little more time rather than investing in ICO. Investing in ICO will get your money grow easily maybe days, months or a couple of months. But it is more risky on ICO and will not guarantee your money back.

I also think that it's better to hold. But also from time to time you need to buy some in order to increase the result))
But last time I've also read many articles about high volatility, unstable and even soon falling down for BTC, it's just bad rumours or can be true? ??? ???

My Option to buy altcoin & holding bitcoin while the hardfork. if you have a lot of money, I think bitcoin is the best solution for you to make more money.

Anyone and everyone should do the two! Hold your bitcoin and by more alt especially the more established one ! Many hurdle is ahead we do not know what is going to happen especially after the november fork! But one thing I know is that crypto currency have come to stay and Bitcoin is in the lead on that. Many countries all of the world will soon join Japan in legalizing bitcoin also.

The only method which I found the most reliable one for any person is joining a signature campaign. You don't need to worry about any loss and it is a good source of income also as far as the payment is in bitcoin. Majority is earning by this mean and then people shift to trading which is risky but more beneficial in terms of producing profits. Holding on bitcoin can make us millionaire if we hold it for long.

It is very dangerous to go against the tide in crypto currency world! I have done it severally and i have been burnt severely. For some of us thst like to stay with our believes on issue of crypto currency, it will be mistake of gigantic proportion not to follow the money or in other words, follow the hype and the direction of the majority. Those majority decisions are always in the shortest term! No when to opt out!

I think it's better to buy Altcoins and leave a bit in bitcoin.  It is best to combine these two options to be safe.  I do not think that it's a good idea to sell all the Altcoins and buy only bitcoin because it is not known how much it will cost, and the Altcoins will grow with time

This fork has positive outlook from community unlike the previous forks/expected forks as they were fearsome. People this time have understood that Bitcoin isn't beatable through any fork so they have made strategy to hold Bitcoins and dump the forked coins they will get. This is simply free money for them.
That is the reason why all altcoins are dropping and bitcoin is rising. So in my suggestions, it would be better to hold bitcoins and if you want to discrete your investments, go for ICO rather than altcoins.

I'm buying altcoins, but I save some bitcoins too, and that is basically what am I doing in past few monthsz beside gambling of course.
People are preparing for bitcoin gold, and unlike the last time there is no panic about upcoming hard fork. This is airdrop, and more bitcoins someone have in wallet means more bitcoin gold coins will get. Bitcoin cash imhave a nice price, I think that bitcoin gold will not cost so much, and I hear that bitcoin gold will be possible to mine with GPUs, I still don't know is it true.

I think you should hold your bitcoin in your hands for 25 november. so you can get bitcoingold
this rise is worth up to $ 6,500

i prefer to hold bitcoin as most of people. Yes it is easy to buy lots of altcoin on cheap price maybe for trading but it is risky and you don't even know that what happen next and this will be risky to invest in altcoin as compare to altcoin.
most of the altcoins are scam and a few are trusted one. at the time of hard fork it is better to buy altcoin at cheap and get benefit from them after hard fork.

If you have BTC then hold BTC, but for the long run altcoins is the way (altcoins that have solid background).  8)

if I will buy altcoins

i think better you hold bitcoin.i hold some bitcoin .and i always trust and believe bitcoin.so if you interested you can invest for btc. before some month btc almost pumped.

I prefer to hold bitcoin, as it gets closer to hardfork, bitcoin prices are getting more expensive. and when the hardfork is finished I will immediately buy altcoin. because of the likelihood of btc will go down in price.

stay hold bitcoin because holder bitcoin will get bitcoingold free..and look like bitcoincash and you can get profit from it.. so stay hold to waiting bitcoin gold

My recommended hold BTC because BTC value is just wow. All BTC holder now rich man. BTC cross $5600+ i own only 3BTC but it is my future life asset i think.After 3years or 5years BTC create new dimension over the world.

I am deeping into alts too so I will miss this opportunity. But if I were in BTCs instead I would probably want to flip to alts to buy the dips, which potentially could result in higher future gains than BTC gold...

IMO, for maximum profit - choose Alts in advance, hold BTC, wait for the fork, sell for Alts as soon as possible. I don't see why any active trader would do otherwise. The only thing I have doubts about is that too many people will think this way and so there won't be much profit.

If you're not an day-to-day trader - don't participate in such high volatility events, just hold what you have if it's going the way the way you expect it.

I Prefer to Hold Your BTC. The Price of BTC will be Increase.

What's going to be profitable? Obviously it is holding bitcoin, and as the fork will come you'll be making some new alt coins and that is bitcoin gold and that's a free money.

Think about it that you'll have an alt coin without doing anything and it's a freebie because you don't have to buy it but by only claiming it when the time of exporting of your bitcoin wallet tutorials came out.

And also this is about to happen that many bitcoin gold holders will sell it eventually for bitcoin.

In this situation, I think it will be correct to keep Bitcoin in order to get the same amount of Bitcoin Gold as a result of holding a hard fork. As for the altcoyins, here is already at your discretion. If something needs to be bought, it's better to do it for fresh money, Betkoin better not to touch. If the behavior of bitcoin is possible, in principle, while to predict, then how will the altcoins behave in the near future, difficult to understand. In all likelihood, they will wave smoothly.

For me it is both. You should hold btc and buy altcoins. But you should buy those that you know will have a bigger price or be successful in the future. I think if you have a hundred btc, hold the half and buy altcoins using the other. That's the best way to have a win win situation.

When the crypto currency market is bullish, altcoins end up pumping harder and giving much higher profits than Bitcoins.  I have a feeling the price of Bitcoins will drop right before or immediately after the hard fork.  Bitcoin Gold also won't be worth as much as many people expected. 

We don't need to expect too much but always be on the safe side, we can benefit on holding btc for now since we can get some bitcoin gold after, and try to buy some alts that are dumping that have potential for future pump. Don't miss any chances as much as possible.

I personally going to choose holding bitcoin, I predicted that the price wont fall down too much, so maybe there will be more risk if you want to try to buy alt coin, and by holding bitcoin we will get bitcoingold, who knows the price is high and we can sell it, so holding bitcoin got no risk at all

i prefer to hold my btc 0.01 till near new year, then if no changes i just keep it. and my other coin is stuck, should i cut lost ?

I've plan to go long with xrp , and keep half of my assets on btc

I think both are the right choice for now. buying altcoins is now also a great option. we just wait for the right time to resell it.

But holding bitcoin is way better than buying alts at this time, because as before it is expected that after the fork bitcoin value will rise again, and hence alts will be a lot cheaper afterwards. So it would be wise to just hold on to your bitcoin for now and think about buying alts after the fork affect is over.

If you will give a look to the present value of bitcoin and then compare it with the value two days ago, you will definitely come up with your correct answer and it will be to hold on bitcoins for next few weeks at least. Bitcoin has already crossed 5k dollars and no altcoin is showing such a fast progress in prices, curse me even if a single word that I said is wrong. Keeping bitcoin for now is like favoring your own self.

So it turns out the hard fork has been quite successful. The ETH price has increased and average block times have gone down. So holding on to your altcoins was the correct decision

Based on the price cap I think it's best to buy altcoins when the price is lower.
Then holding it till the price rises.

I guess there will be pretty same profitability with holding btc or buying altcoins. But I like to diversify risks so I've decided to choose the both option ;)

Yes, at present the price variation is expected to take place as a whole. On fork, the growth is expected to be mutually effective without causing a one side growth. Upon the same, the diversified manner of investing is quite a good thing to profit the user.

I prefer altcoins. It is very obvious that many known altcoins are going to increase after fork as minimum 30-40% in the very first wave. What about the fork coin? Will you get enough profit with it as you ll get from altcoins?

I think it's safer to hold your Bitcoin instead of buying altcoin because Bitcoin's future is clearer than altcoin.

The choice of what to do is yours but I will rather buy and hold BTC and wait for the hard fork to and go then i will harvest my coins massively. BTC is heading up north.

i will do both but reduce the amount that i have in altcoins.

it is not just because of the bitcoin hard fork and the airdrop that i am going to get but also it is because of the fact that altcoins don't look good these days and when market is like this i prefer staying away instead of investing and risk losing a lot of money in a falling market.

I think hold Bitcoin and buy altcoin if you can. If you are going to buy Altcoin now the price is still cheap.

i think its better to hold your altcoins.Altcoins will definately  rise after the Hardfork.

Both are a good investment, but of course, for altcoins, it still depends on what altcoin you want to invest in. If you want to invest on altcoins, you need to see if the business is strong and reliable. Always check the market to know the current currency.

In my case since I am not that a good player when it comes to trading or any sort of transactions to profit in  crypto industry, I would hold my BTC, my perspective is for long term that is why I choose to hold it until a later time that it is much more valuable than it was first associated. We all have a share of our own view when it comes to investing, it all goes down to our own decision with consideration to the aspects affecting investment to altcoins.

Holding bitcoin is easier (after you had bought enough amount for yourself) and certain way for future gain. Buying altcoin is also might be profitable but it is up to altcoin and investor. Need to focus on present and future situations and potentials of altcoins carefully and follow on market.

i will buy altcoins for i have sold out my btc at a cheap price and missed to buy back as the price pump, so i will wait to its fall and during which i will trading altcoins
