Buy more bitcoin or wait for August 1st?

[chocolah29]

All we do is wait together what will happen on the 1st of August Whether it will be fun or not

I'll wait for the drama to end before making my next move. It's hard to tell right now what will be next for the bitcoin community. Hope the activation will be good to us.

On the first of August, I think the price will go down

And hope that will just last just for weeks and possibly rise again after a month.
Let's put our hopes to this.

So my initial plan was to invest more into bitcoin on a weekly basis but with the possibility of a split on August 1st I figured I'd wait a little. If there would be a split, there would certainly be a drop in price so maybe a good opportunity to pick some more up rather than doing it now. Normally I tend to make these kind of decisions for myself but since I don't fully understand what will happen August 1st I figured this would be the best place to ask.

If you are really conscious or curious about buying more bitcoin right now but afraid or worrief about the possibility of its price dump based on the scenario that will happen on August 1, maybe you can just lessen your bitcoin investment consumption and just hold it on your own. But spend at least 10% of your asset so that whether, the price value pumps you can gain a little. But if the price value dumps, you just loose a little. Just take a risk so that you can be able to decide if you will regret it after or not

Since many of the friends in this field are fearing panic to loss Thier money in split of the chain of the Bitcoin network .
And due to such fears they are selling Thier btc to keep himself from big loss. 
But you are like me and thinking in the positive ways , because here I am also buying the Bitcoin at low price and hoping that will make much earnings after hardfork .
Because I trust at the network of the blockchain since 2011 and also we should have no doubt in our mind about the blockchain , but always put your money in the official wallet or in that wallet whose private key is in your hand .
So in my opinion you should buy before 1 August .

Bitcoin is here to stay and whatever happens to the upgrade either split or not then you still have your Bitcoin. For the price it is just psychological among us. Right now im buying Bitcoin and trying to buy the most out of my money, not looking on whether it will go down or not this coming days or months but im looking on the future that its value will be worth a lot. Lots and lots of people now knows what Bitcoin is, country is adopting it, swiss bank is adopting it, financial institutions are adopting it. So it is here to stay. Whatever happens Bitcoin will not disappear in your wallet so why worry.

Be worried that you can't buy Bitcoin now for you dont have enough money to invest. So better work hard so you can buy more.

I even bought my Ledger Nano S to store my Bitcoins for i will wait for the future. See you on the moon people. Remember my name is XIMPLY. and i am here to stay.

If there is such a division it will not make the bitcoin price go down except for those who do not want to know about the news of 1st August so it makes them panic.

[calandra78]

If you have money then you should buy bitcoin right now.  If you will wait until august perhaps its price maybe higher than today.  We do not know what will happen on August but I would like to think that its price will not be affected.

Why should wait for August? your words are true if you already have enough money then buy with bitcoin price now if we wait we don't know what price will be achieved only for 1 bitcoin, Yes if the price was low and what if that price even higher? then indirectly you will suffer losses that should benefit with you buy with bitcoin price now. because we don't know what will happen tomorrow or later this August. one thing that you have to be sure of doing things without hesitancy.

I think it will be smart, to devide capital into several parts. 1/3 buy now, 1/3 buy after 1 august, and 1/3 reserve in case of future drop.

How can you be so sure that the price won't go down even a bit? And how will people panic if they don't even know what will happen on august first?

If you're gonna make a prediction, at least justify your claim to make it more believable. because if ever a split happens, theres a high possibility that the price will go down.

as it already happened when ethereum split into two-- eth and etc. so there'll be two bitcoins if ever a split happens as well as double supply. i think you know well what happens

when more supply is added.  and add the panic sellers and confused people who don't know which coin they will go.

I prefer to buy bitcoin now since the value of the bitcoin now becomes lesser so there is a possibility that it will become higher on the august first so it would be better if you could buy now and not wait for the august first.

[pathapoddo]

I think don't wait for August 1st.Because we don't know what will happen on that day.you shold invest now.But don't invest full money. Because you have to afford the loss of bitcoin.Thank you.

[Rinder]

Market is very unstabe to risk money at this moment, only try it if you wanna to save for a long period, because price can get back to 1000 dollars anytime as well return to 2500 and cross the 3000 dollars.

[Getmon]

I prefer to buy before August 1. That is the buying time really. The most perfect time because the price is at its lowest probably. What we really need to avoid is doing transactions using bitcoin when the segwit happens.

Holding on to our bitcoins in a safe wallet will not give us problems. When everything is pretty clear and all the developments are done, that's the time we can make use of out bitcoins once again.

My opinion is to wait and buy very cheep in the first week of August. Its obvious value is going down. Just look at the charts in the past, it is happened before.

Is it certain that bitcoin prices / value would go up after August 1st?

[marlonjhon]

I will buy the day before, It will pass as the day that the etf was not approved by the sec
