[Nolito]

Want to buy more... If i have more money left )

[Xubu]

Bitoin value is going down hard. I expect some very deep lows, i think i am going to buy on the last week of July. Hope to see some really low BTC prices to make big profits in the future.

Buying bitcoins for this month end is a good choice. You will get your coins for a cheap price. And if you keep that coins 2 or 3 months you will get double profit.

I will wait for the movement and what will happen to bitcoin. At this time I still dare not take action because the news is still confusing and there are many possibilities that will happen. I might wait until 1 week before that date. I will do the analysis and make a decision at the right time.

And there could also be a huge pump after August 1st!

Please speculate and all the risks will surely come. Make sure not to waste time by creating a negative issue. Bitcoin will be fine after 1st August. I am very confident.

It's good we wait 1 august to buy lots of bitcoin. Because until now the declining btc price is not suitable to buy lots of bitcoin. too risky

Wait until what may happen in August 1 if btc after August. We didn't know what will really happen by that time if it is still declining or recovering a little then buy a lot. Im saving my money to buy a lot after 1.

I would possibly buy more bitcoin right now because in the current time, bitcoin has already drop off its price exactly on morning of July 14, 2017 which is Friday. It is now a great opportunity now to extend your assets in buying more bitcoin to have a great profit or gain to be earned after August 1 Segwit fork.

I am still confused, whereas my friend's suggestion he said better buy some btc

Because it's very possible that the price of bitcoin will go higher after August 1. And if you will wait after August 1 the price can be higher already and you won't have any sense of buying on that stage because you'll regret that you never bought earlier. Good thing you have a friend that is suggesting you to buy more and it's like buy at your own risk.

It really depends on what you are comfortable, your economic means and the risk you are willing to take, if you prefer to play it safe then the best thing you can do is to hold and do not move your coins for some time until things settle and we get to know what is the outcome of all of this.

If you're looking to buy then it looks like waiting will be your best option. I wouldn't have predicted this a few months ago but people are uncertain so I guess I understand it.

[ruthbabe]

Those who think it's best to buy NOW should post here that you buy with PROOF. If you don't then you didn't buy because the truth is you yourself is afraid and can't afford to risk even a small amount of Satoshi.

[pdpanzer]

I think you should buy some bitcoins now and some after 1st august because recent changes in price from 2800 USD to 2100 USD it looks like that bitcoin will get huge drop in next few days and maybe it gain after 1st august. You need to keep your eyes on price chart of bitcoin.

I completely see it the same way. And the price is ultimately the combination of people with different views, risk perceptions and objectives. Some people follow like herd. Increasing risk makes some larger risk averse groups reduce exposure. Herd follows. Some others sell by technical analysis. Which is another "atheist" herd movement /9in average). Some buy as they have ultimate faith. Some others buy because they see it are redeeming having missed the boart (and also have low exposure as % of total). Some others (many large) sell because they know all of the above. These will buy back a large chunk before Aug. 1st., but not all.

The real dangers from Aug 1st till end of 2017 are very real. So the best thing to do is reflect on your appetite for risk. Here are the best options depending, as we can't know exactly what will happen, we do have control on the risk we face:

Extremely optimist over sw and rest of updates thru 2017
2 Buy now. Do not try to earn more by waiting to see if it will go further down. 0% chance to miss upside
1 Sell now and rebuy 50% 1-3 days before activation. If you rebuy 100%, you take more risk than 1. May lose some upside, and will take any downfall. But, having sold for now, you reduce a lot of risk until you buy and may start with a lower base. 
-1 Sell now and rebuy 50% or the second things look good Aug.2.
-2 Sell now and do something else now until end of Aug. Then reassess

Extremely pessimistic over sw and rest of updates thru 2017

Cant predict anything now. After August 1, the pricr may be dropped or it maybe pumped a lot. I would prefer to purchase some bitcoin for now and hold untill august 1. I have also purchased a good amount to hold untill August 1. The price may surely go up and meet 4000$. (Its just my prediction). The all we can do it wait and watch. Im a bit excited for august 1.

The prices have crashed almost 20% during the last 2-3 days. It may crash even more and I won't be extremely surprised if we witness exchange rates below $1,000 per coin by the end of this month. So waiting is the call, as of now.

Right, I agree with you. After August 1st, bitcoin prices can go up and down, it depends on bitcoin success at that time. Currently it is a good choice to buy bitcoin, but I will wait a few more days until the price drops a few more, then hold it. If after August 1st the price is still down I will buy some bitcoin again, then hold it longer until the price goes up (around 7 - 12 months).

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.

I don't care about what will happen in August !st. For what matter most for me was I will buy more bitcoin while the price value is
cheap now, Let us grab the opportunity to do it before its too late, it will surely will resume at the time we didn't expect  for sure.

[freebutcaged]

How much are we talking about here?

investing a few hundred dollars or few thousands? I can't imagine how much profit could someone earn from

Buying less than $10,000 in Bitcoin, really it's not worth wasting your time for a few bucks if you want to get

A decent ROI in a few months from now then you should buy starting from $10,000 up to $150,000. who do

You think is buying now other than big whales and maybe some governments? ordinary citizens. as we are

Getting closer to the judgment day, cowards are running away by dumping.

Its really a really big risk to anybody that hold bitcoin to invest or not in that day of segwit the market value of the bitcoin could pump and the price of bitcoin could go up to 3000$ or may be it will dump up to 1000$ we dont really know what will gonna happened so i guess it is really a big risk to everyone.
