I don't think you need to be concerned. We just gotta do nothing and wait what will happen. We can't stop them so it is better to just say and do nothing. |

There is one way Bitcoin will go down the crapper and that is when another Crypto rises beyond it. This has been the story of every software product. Most investors pull profits out regularly and stay diversified.

I've been researching Bitcoin every day since April of 2014 and many, many things have scared the shit out of me time and time again. But Bitcoin just continues to roll on.
Bitcoin is the HONEYBADGER of money and has proven to me that nothing can stop it. No ALTS, no governments, no forks, no media, nothing.
The most important thing I've learned so far is to HODL.

If we do find a solution for the scaling problem, Bitcoin could take off like crazy. I am also a little worried, given the crazy run up in all alt prices (not just ether). But I am going to hold and wait out the current uncertainty. |

Future is still bright. Right now it is in a bubble but that is just short term volatility. Give it some time long term. The biggest threat to bitcoin is the fact that it is so volatile. Its investors buy into manias and frenzies so easily. It needs smarter investors - institutional investors. Bitcoin will never be used as a currency until real money goes into it. This will likely need to come from an ETF. |

no i am not "freaked out" at all. i am not even concerned at this point. UASF doesn't have enough support apart from people repeating it in the social media and many of those repeating it probably don't even run a full node.
the stats are low.
the mining support is not there.
the developers are not supporting it.
it is a good gesture but this Aug 1 thing from BIP148 is going to fail.
we will needa better and well thought UASF, not something that can lead to a chain split and that is why it doesn't have support from those who understand it like the developers.

Don't take the trollers words inside about bitcoin's potential or price. It been adopted and adopting by many countries and international whales. As demand and supply covers the bitcoin, till that bitcoin will be fly like a rocket. Simply ignore and concentrate on holding the bitcoin. It has the bright future. |

All these years, one word has always stood the test of time:
HODL
Well maybe another word -- if people get cold feet prior to the potential fork:
BTFD

HODL is my mantra! I have never sold and continue to buy weekly. I was getting a little weak in the knees though with some of the doom and gloom posts by some of the posters. Thanks for the boost in morale!

But I am going to hold and wait out the current uncertainty. Yes, bitcoin is only staying back(though not really back) because of the scaling problem, if this problem is resolved I wouldn't be too surprised even if we reach over $5000 by end of this year. Segwit will also do a lot good for bitcoin, but I'm not sure anymore if that's in play anymore or not. |

Being a little bit worried is totally normal, you just shouldn't start panic selling when the time comes. The price should continue to rise these days as the Chinese exchanges are back to work and started enabling the withdrawal process again. Things will get cleared up in the next few weeks when most of the exchanges and bitcoin services decide what side they are on. (UASF/BU or whatever)

I am a little bit freaked out about this too but the best we can do is prepare for that day. Secure our bitcoin and if the price drops hodl to the maximum level. It can be a long wait again like that time when the price crashed after gox but it will eventually recover, like it always does.

according to price, also the way the whole world is moving forward with bitcoin, Japan still giving us a new good news every week, and so much new money coming in, ... i am going to say No, nobody is really freaking out! and there is nothing to freak out at this point either. the Aug 1 BIP get more support first then start thinking if it is "freak-worthy" or not! |
There is a FOMO brewing...

The ETH Bubble is going to burst soon and a lot of people are going to lose a bunch of money. People are hyping the shit out of ETH and people are falling for it. A open ended Coin cap is definitely not the way to go... Do not look at Crypto currency as an investment based on the Market Cap. You should rather focus on the Coin Cap. https://coinmarketcap.com/ Bitcoin = 16,365,350 BTC Ethereum = 92,119,181 ETH Scarcity is fewer resources than are needed to fill human wants and needs. These resources can be resources that come from the land, labor resources or capital resources. <---- Does this relate to Ethereum? NO.  |

I was afraid that panic will gonna happen soon. Masses are freaked out because they have no one who will tell them that everything with Bitcoin will be ok. Bitcoin was forked once, but it was long time ago, and now barely anyone even remember that something like this ever happened. |

But it looks like they are all geared for the Aug 1 UASF activation? I guess for me I have to wait it out and see what happens. I'm a little freaked out because it looks like a coin split is imminent and the price can go down. Well its just me. I just hold for now and really see how it goes for the bitcoin ecosystem. |

Like an earlier poster has rightly said, there is no need to worn yourself out about whatever will happen because you are not the only one involved the people who are making the decisions as to which way to go knows the reason why they are doing that. We just have to wait and let things sort itself out and hope for the best which is yet to come. |
