I'm looking to sell a part of my BTC immediately after the fork to invest in some alts (on Bittrex). I know the BCG will be credited in block 491407, but can anyone tell me how to proceed in the quickest fashion, i.e. can I sell as soon as the block is reached, or should I wait until the next block is reached?

Also, the estimations as to when the block will occur are very different. I've seen them range from 28 to 20 hours from now. Thoughts on that?

The snapshot had just happened, and bitcoin prices seem to be taking a haircut compared to bitcoin gold. Bitcoin + bitcoin gold prices combined equate to around the same amount of fiat as before the fork actually happened.

Whenever there is a fork, when you sell your coins really don't matter much if you are a short term holder. However, if you are in bitcoin for the long term then i would suggest selling before the fork happens, and buy back ONLY bitcoin after the fork instead of having two tokens.
