Any idea what will happen to the BTC after hardfork? Will it go down ?

Bitcoin will remain exactly the same. As for price, we can only do guess work... I have no crystal ball, but I'd say the impact on the price is going to be negligible...

You seem new to crypto world. We had one major hardfork few months ago. Nothing to fear.
If you meant prices then there maybe little fluctuations in price but in long run Bitcoin will strengthen back to stronger position like it is now. So you are free to make your strategies without fearing pre or post fork situations.
While if you meant working of Bitcoin or blockchain. There maybe 1 or 2 days halt in performance due to double performance. But after that you can conveniently use both coins if you have them with private keys. 

What do you mean go down? Do you mean that it will never start? Just like that? Well, you are probably wrong my friend. It will happen. Just 10 days from now and it will. So store your btc on exchanger that accepts that and you can get free money.

Here comes another wave of the same threads that were all around the forum just before August 1.

What will happen to bitcoins.
Will the price go up or down.
Will "x" be more powerful and replace the original bitcoin.
How do I get the hard fork coin. (MILLIONS OF TIMES).

These are just now a normal thing that are asked once a hard fork is announced. The answer to all of them is obviously "NOBODY KNOWS !" "

How is anyone supposed to predict what's gonna happen next in crypto ? Can't happen.
And for the last question which has to be asked every 2-5 minutes, Theymos made a simple thread on how to handle splits before the BCH event and it still remains the same.

Same as usual. We cant really predict on what would happen on the price or even on bitcoin after the fork but i can presume that the thing happen on Bitcoin Cash event would still happen on this Bitcoin Gold. Price might dip but somehow recover later on and reach up new heights. For now all we can do is wait for the fork and thinking of that there would be still Segwit2x  Fork on next month which means its back to back.I dont know on how price would behave on these kind of events.Better suit ourself on a bumpy ride.

Hmmm. This question really sounds stupid, no offence intended, but it just does.

Anyways, to answer your question, the coin itself will stay the same as it is. But the price will absolutely decrease and correct itself. But no worries, just as what happened before, price will continue to rise even more. And demand will continue to increase.

If you're looking to invest, it's quite too late. Maybe few weeks after the fork.

Yes that is what we can expect that even after hardfork the price of bitcoin will continue its increasing trend and we can expect that the price of bitcoin will even rise more. i am hopeful that after hardfork the price of bitcoin will cross 6000$ very easily and will even continue increasing, because bitcoin has too much potential to increase. People are waiting for the hardfork and hope that after that they will again start rising again.

I think that won't happen after the hardfork, yes it wasn't the same as bitcoin cash who affects bitcoin at the beginning but still there is a possibility of bitcoin gold affecting the price, so we cannot be too confident according to the price right now.

Bitcoin is going to raise to the fork and I expect to see some more, but slow raise after the fork. There is no worries this time about bitcoin and it's future like it was on the 1st of August. People don't make panic this time like it was two months ago.

Nothing will happen to BTC after the hardfork except it will just end up gaining more value like it did after Bitcoin Cash because people will realize that 2x is a scam.

Bitcoin Gold will never affect the bitcoin's price. You see the bitcoin gold's value initially around 500 USD or more than that like how BCH value initially splitted and value we noticed. block size will be increased after the segregation witness for the bitcoin in November.
You can set the ground value as 5k after the bump, you will not find the value lower than that.

I don't think that bitcoin price will decrease after the hardfork in the 25th of october. Maybe we will see bitcoin in the 7k$ level after few weeks after the fork, No one know, what will happend exactly! Anyways, i predict that bitcoin price will still like that in around 2 weeks and then it start again to increase.

Back to last fork (when bitcoin cash was created last August) BTC price has gone upper few days after the fork happened , I think the same scenario will be repeated this time ( the unique difference is the new coin which is going to be created next fork "bitcoin gold" and I assume that bitcoin price will just keeping increasing as usually .

I want to remind you that in November will transition to segwit2x and this can lead to a significant reduction in prices. I think this event will be of greater value than the emergence of bitcoin gold. But now all blinded by the Golden Shine and let my guard down. I think the price of bitcoin after October 25 will be reduced to $ 5,000.

Objectively bitcoin will stronger. In hard fork, bitcoiner like to have other side of bitcoin, so more demand make its price is higher.
After hard fork, my opinion is btc still strong but will decrease a little bit and back to up treck.

Bitcoin will remain powerful compared to other altcoins and its own forks... No doubt in that  8)

Well, after the hardfork all the other altcoins will have a serious rise with many liquidating their Btc to buy other promising alt coins that have hit the exchanges during the Hardfork craze.

This doesn't mean that BTC will lose it's shine, this will just be a temporary phase and it will go beyond this price again in coming months.

I am also strongly believe that bitcoin will still make another highest bitcoin price record after the fork, maybe bitcoin price will dump but it will still increase after fork because I think there are still a lot of people will have another panic selling with their bitcoin. But I am not worrying with it since I know the potential of bitcoin is very strong.

Im new to bitcoins too but already have an idea on what will happen after this another fork. I believe bitcoin price will continue to up what ever may happened after this new fork.

Now a days the demand of bitcoin is even more higher people are buying bitcoin very rapidly while there taking interest in bitcoin just because they know that the price going upward. Which is not going down that's why they are willing to have a lot of bitcoins because if you are having a lot of bitcoin your current value will be change in future the amount you have.

if price is your only concern then visit the speculation board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0) there are a lot of discussions about this.
i think it may go down, even if it is a correction. the timing will be right anyways. even if it had nothing to do with the "fork".

if other things are your concern then don't worry about this upcoming fork called bitcoin gold, nothing will change. unless they fail with their replay protection you have nothing to worry about.

Here is a short explanation about hard forks in general.

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hard-fork.asp

TLDR, as for the bitcoin case, a small part of the miners will start mining the same chain, but with different rules, which means that your bitcoin addresses at the main chain will still be existing with the same balance on the forked chain.
You will be able to send tokens at the main chain, and at the forked chain just as you did before with bitcoin.

I'm predicting a huge dump and a few weeks later we'll see yet another pump and exceeding $6000

I am inclined to agree with such a prediction based on the previous experience. Although I don't have a magic crystal.

Hardfork is like polishing the Bitcoin as it will take out potential of btc. Last time btc was hardforked it made btc cross 5k$ mark and now as a few days left to another hard fork btc crossed 6k$ price. Maybe we can see $10k price by the end of this year.

Nothing much. Bitcoin will remain as bitcoin. The other fork might be supported by a few enthusiasts. After that, the coins would be pumped artificially, get sold for profit, profit goes to the main coin, the fork dies, repeat. Similar to what happened to BCH, but this time there would be two forks in a span of less than a month. I wonder how much the price would shoot with these two temporary profit makers?

Bitcoin will still be bitcoin. May are predicting a price dump and may are hoping that there will be a price pump and I am one of those people hoping for the price to increase but no matter what happen bitcoin's price wil still be very volatile.

no one will ever know. we will find out after the 25th. just a few more day. so let's wait, what will happen.

Nothing will happen to btc. There would just be cutting out of a new altcoin that is btg. Its done to make btg mineable through GPU. But yes bitcoin may go down afte this fork.

Hardfork is somewhat one of the turning point of bitcoin. The coin's value will go down but after hardfork, It will slowly recover and eventually the value pumps up. Though as to when this will happen, nobody really knows but this is an expected result of the hardfork. 

Keep calm we wait later what kind of results. Which is clear if this hardfork happens I am sure it will not have a major impact on the declining value of bitcoin. Most likely that will happen is the temporary stop of market activity.

I think we can totally trust the bitcoin, because we have all the bases to believe in. Just like what has happened, bitcoin will increase rapidly after the hardfork, and bitcoin core is still the strongest currency.

if history repeated itself then we will expect this things to happen after bitcoin holders received their free btc gold then expect that dumped and cashing out
will happen but for those who believes that bitcoin will bounce back it will be hold for much longer time and sell when they are already satisfied with their gains.

No doubt It is reaming as a higher price in the market. Not any effect from  hard fork , Pretty sure BTC will pass 10,000 usd  within short period

After that, the coins would be pumped artificially, get sold for profit, profit goes to the main coin, the fork dies, repeat. Similar to what happened to BCH, but this time there would be two forks in a span of less than a month So You will be able to send tokens at the main chain, and at the forked chain just as you did before with bitcoin.

Just take a look at what happened to Bitcoin price at the hard fork on 1st August :)) Bitcoin price increased from more than 2k$ to more than 4k$ right after that hard fork so in my opinion I think at this time it'll be the same that mean Bitcoin price will be double from more than 6k$ to more than 12k$ right after the upcoming hard fork :)) It's just my prediction but I hope it'll come true :D

Well,  the price of bitcoin might drop a little, just for some few days, cause the price will always rise up again. Watching closely, if the price should still keep on going up till the day of the fork, then it will just keep going.

As the price showing best clue to investors so we should need to invest in bitcoin because if we invest into bitcoin we will get a good result. But as you are said that you are talking about that you are new to bitcoin so you will get many help here because our admins are too nice to beginners they will help you completely if you ever need.
