Bitcoin Core Posts Hardfork is Possible August 1st.

Well, might as get the word out since there's a high chance that the fork is going to happen at this point, now the only question that remains is whether or not we're going to have a peaceful transfer to the majority side of hashing power and community backing. I don't care what side that is, but the less that people whine that their side didn't win the better. Of course, that won't happen and there will be people REEing on the forum about this for months after it happens, but one can be hopeful.

And what has changed since yesterday or last week that you've suddenly became so certain? Also, are you talking about a soft or a hard fork, because many people expected a soft fork months ago, and later it got confirmed when we heard about the segwit agreement. Hard fork on the other hand is still in question.
You're spreading news about a hard fork, while even people involved in this attempt at splitting the community don't know if they'll succeed. The chances of it happening aren't going up or down, because there's nothing that can impact them at this time and prices or some vague statements by devs have nothing to do with it.

Its only going to be a soft fork and nothing else, no split in the chains. FUD is being created by the investors to rise the pricr to 4000$ from 1500$ , giving them a biggest profit forever.

Surely , nothing bad is going to happen. Imagine that all the million dollars investors and million dollar hold mining farms would not let bitcoin die because of a hardfork and split. Everyone's wanna make profit and they will never make bitcoin die.

Already headed to 1700$ now. It may come near of 1000$ for a short duration but after we got segwit, only the sky is the limit.

Not worried a bit though, This is our chance buy cheap coins now. If it comes near 1k$, I'll buy a few more. If not, I'll keep holding I like always do.

Even after we get Segwit, I don't see as a justification for the price of bitcoin to now go to the moon because there are factors that can cause the down ward trend of price other than Segwit but in real sense, we get to see some improvement and gradually we get to see price improves and will be testimony that the challenge of slow confirmation time and high fees have been successfully defeated.

And I see that justification.
Bitcoin went up by $2000 this year and that was with the rising fees and sluggish network. Why should it not go up when all those issues are resolved?
People want to invest and they want to hold Bitcoin. The reason why they're withdrawing now is uncertainty. People don't want a hard fork and they don't know how the network will take it. If all goes fine they will buy back.

That's in fact our hope but if there's going to be vulnerabilities after the hard fork then we won't take things lightly with them afterwards because we've suffered and invested in Bitcoin.
