why not just buy altcoins on the exchange till the august the first is done if you are so concerned ???U be able to switch back to bitcoin no problem right after
That's what i am doing. I dont know why people are freaking out so much. The two possible outcomes are that the bitcoin will split and not split. Lets consider that its gonna split which i dont think is gonna happen, If you care so much about the bitcoins why not just sell them a week before the split and buy it back after the event has finished. Atleast we will be having the coins than to lose it completely. The only risk here is that the exchange might shut down which wont be happening because there are still other coins than bitcoin and people are gonna continue trading. So just chill and go on.
The real problem is people who is worried is worried because they want to benefit from the split . That is why they want there coins on a wallet that give them the control over there private keys . then if split happen they can get double there coins on each chain
. buying alts will not give them that benefit . I am just trying to explain. I believe that there is never gonna be split .
