We know what will happen with the said date but are you willing to take a risk to hold your Bitcoins or maybe some Altcoins. We are in the 'Red days' for how many weeks now and I think it is because of too many people is scared in what will be the results of Segwit on August 1.

Some of my thoughts in how most of us think.


*I will sell my Bitcoins first then buyback after august 1*

*I will sell my Altcoins because it is nowhere to going up anymore*

I was a few weeks ago, but then I realized that there are not enough incentives for miners to do something stupid.

I don't mind losing some.

There will be only 2 result, to win or to loss. In case of a win, I should have some extra to take advantage of it, who knows it's worth trying. In case of loss, at least it was not that much.

Whatever will happened, so be it. Let's wait.

investing in bitcoin has always been risky, and that has not changed. what has changed is how people know about this particular risk but never knew about the rest or chose to ignore them.

and if you are scared then you have been doing a lot of things wrong.
for starters you were supposed to invest what you can afford to lose, so that you don't lose your mind and sanity because of fluctuations.

i don't know try scrolling out and try going to older dates. dates like 2017-1-1 or a little older 2016-10 and see what price was 6 months ago to 8-9 months ago.

then try going older, look at prices in 2016 the swings the "red days" do it with 2015, and so on. and lets talk then Wink

i have manageable funds in the crypto market so i don't scare easy and i don't want to change any of it.

i have some BTC for holding
some for spending
some for trading

and the amounts in each group doesn't change and i am pretty happy so far and will be even if i lose some profit.

Well i don't scare to hold until August 1st even my bitcoins be an altcoin because of the activation segwit2x on bitcoin's network
because actually i have made calculated about risk investing in bitcoins,
 i have made investing not in bitcoins only some my money to be invested on altcoins are like ethereum so the risk losing money can be minimalized because i don't investing in one coin.

Same with you, i made investing in some altcoin not only bitcoin. I still have chance to make profit when bitcoin price going down, but sometime i got double loss when bitcoin and altcoin going down together like this time.
I'll hold some to see what will happen after august 1 and some of them i'll use for trading altcoin. I also have learning about risky in bitcoin, when sometime i must lost some% of my money i dont scare because i know its risky investing in bitcoin.

We all know every investment has its own risk.

Before we use bitcoin, we already knows about its risk, right?
I know there are ppl that are scared for the following month.

It's true we are currently in "red days".
And I don't think this was the first time it happened.

If you have any altcoins that you can not know that they are also experiencing falling prices. Such risk sharing is only good in a relaxed atmosphere. I don't believe in the separation of bitcoin, but if this happens then the trust will lose all the coins.

Actualy we don't know what will exactly happen at August 1, these are all speculations and rumors. The whole story is just exaggerated and even.now some users begun to panic. This is probably the goal to make some users sell their coins.I don't fall for that.

No I'm not scared. Not in the slightest!
Every opportunity I get to accumulate more BTC I will take advantage of. I let the others freak out and run around like headless chicken.
Furthermore you don't know if we will decrease in price until august. We also could sunddenly to start moving up again tomorrow or next week. So if you sell all you would have to buy back in for a probably higher price. Wouldn't be that smart. This is why I would partially sell if you're uncertain.
With your theory about altcoins I mostly agree with. 5 to 10 of them may have some future in one way or the other.

I am not scared to hold bitcoins until August 1st, i consider it is good chance to getting two coins, so i am still hold some on bitcoins and the other in altcoins, i don't find reason fixing of bitcoins network is not something scary (segwit2x on bitcoins) also price of bitcoins down, that is normal price of bitcoins is always fluctuating, so do with the altcoins that is chance for buy cheap of bitcoins and altcoins.

yeah it's just make people going to do panic selling , just like what happened recently the bitcoin price in down trends due this kind rumours getting heated , some people believe it could be a split chain after the segwit 2.0 comes and guess what would happened? people lost interest as it feels someone play with it. i personally think that the bitcoin price would get dropped a little to skyrocketing back later.

actually i am starting to believe that August 1st will lead to a huge rise. you know why?

because by that date we will have SegWit activated!
majority of the miners are signalling for SegWit at the moment and the rest are not signalling anything and will switch as soon as the date comes and that means a SegWit activation with the biggest support which is nearly 100% (similar to LTC).

then in a couple of months we will have problems about the hard fork and that can cause a split not the August 1st thing.

I think that this process of price reduction has already begun. We see how the price falls and many cause panic. I thought that the fall would begin after the 20th, but it started earlier. I plan to buy during this period the maximum number of coins and then wait for a sharp price increase

Still confident that  Segwit will have good result in BTC. Whatever will be the result if price of btc falls or go Up again. I will hold unto  my wallet and still use bitcoin as my priority crypto- currency. Will just wait what will happens. Some says it will be good because of changing  or improving the fees and transactions.

We need to make a wise decision to avoid losing of bitcoin, however there's a little bit confusion regarding to the results of BTC segwit. But I was not worries regarding to holding off bitcoin until August 1.

i am very scared of today and all the other days until the August 1 and after it because my time is running out and i only have a very limited amount of fiat at hand to buy cheap bitcoin.

for example today is the sadest day of this week for me because i could not buy as much bitcoin at the bottom as i liked to because i didn't have fiat on exchange and the opportunity is already lost.

;(

No, absolutely not. I'm not scared of August 1. When I started bitcoin I know it's a risk but a calculated one. And besides I have gained a lot from bitcoin. Honestly I have plans on investing on bitcoins more once the value depreciates further comes August 1. The reason is that I see its potential and I know that the value will appreciate more after segwit. If I'm wrong with my prediction, it's fine. In life, nobody gains more without losing some.
