Those who hold bitcoin even in a doubtfull situation like this are those who really believe bitcoins potentials and its value. Soon it would be realize by others and learn from mistakes that others face before bitcoin started.
Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

I hope you meant that everything will be alright with Bitcoin after the Aug 1. )

Who's dumping now will regret later for sure and those who hold regardless of the panic around we'll be in good profit.

Why the bitcoin price is increasing means, there is news like Bitcoin is going to split 2 coins. if it happens those who are holding bitcoins, they will get BCC. That is why people are buying more bitcoins. And the demand is increased in the market, so the price is increased that's it.

I am still holding on to my bitcoin and not selling it only because I believe that the value of bitcoin will go higher than it is now,  I will consider selling it once the price is over $10 000 since I believe that it will reach that value. If bitcoin isn't reaching my estimated value then it means that I will on to it till the end of time. Remember how much one bitcoin was worth early this year? now the value of bitcoin is +2× more than the value of one bitcoin early this year.

What makes people compel to hold the bitcoin in this critical situation? What are they waiting for? Any good reason?

First of all, that is not the right way to use a poll. Second, people trust that Bitcoin will generate them more income and multiply their money in the future based on the facts, news, developments which hinted that Bitcoin's price would continue to rise hence the value of Bitcoin that they had invested would rise. As simple as that.

What makes people compel to hold the bitcoin in this critical situation? What are they waiting for? Any good reason?

Maybe they are waiting for something better opportunity to make their bitcoin is being double at the right time to exchange it. There is a risk but if you didn't try or gamble you're profit is stock up or not grow. Just go with the flow if you feel good about something.

After the news about the split and the segwit was announced, many people sold their bitcoins resulting to a dump in the market price of bitcoin but it recovered now reaching up to $3000. Most of the people who chose to hold their bitcoins are the long time users of bitcoin. I guess it is because that this had happened before ( the dump ) and they choose to hold because they know that panic selling will happen. The dump will really be a good opportunity for those who can afford buying bitcoin. Holding bitcoin is really risky since the price can go down anytime but it is worth the risk.

Most of the people who sold their bitcoin are the ones who are new in this market. I guess they were really afraid that their bitcoins will disappear in their wallets.

Exactly! Only those have sold their bitcoins who were new to crypto trading. It needs real patience and courage to hold bitcoins when values are continuously dumping and majority seems to give up on bitcoins. At that time, those who hold their coins definitely enjoy huge profit when the prices are going up just like in the current scenario. Still people can get back to their coins. Before Segwit, bitcoins are really affordable.

Sure it is evident that people who are dumping the coins will regret in the future ,even if there is a split you will get those coins in the same ratio and there is nothing to worry because the price will increase after the forking.

They usually hold their bitcoins to get higher prices, no matter what they are now, because they have their own belief in future bitcoin prices

Some people even say there will be no fork. Idk, is that possible? I mean in theory people can agree on something good for everyone, right?

But in either outcome, holding now is good because "The end of Bitcoin" predicted by some individuals is not going to happen.

People are still holding into their bitcoin because they are still believing and expecting that despite of the continuous dumps or let us state it as unstable status of the price value, bitcoin's price will comeback into a price pump sooner or later. They just see the dumps as a great count to buy bitcoins and sell those when the price pumps. Bitcoin's price pump and dump are just normal scenario in the market so they still tend to hold into their bitcoin and do not worry about it.

At the end only the users who believe in bitcoin keep hold of it. Other people are cashing out as well holding it in the form of altcoins. This is just because of the FUD and the panic created based on the upcoming August 1st. Hope nothing bad happens causing a disaster to the network.

I think just because they wanted gain higher profit. There's a lot of people who says that if you buy bitcoin now you will earn a higher profit. We all known that bitcoin is volatile so there's a possibility for its price to become enormous.

We are holding bitcoin for our better future, because we think that anytime it can increase its value, except for Aug 1, 2017.
But after that, for sure it will increase its value and make our bitcoin higher for us to have better financial income.

I am holding my coins because I am sure that Bitcoin will give me a good ROI in the future. I don't know how much the exchange rates are going to rise, but I am certain that the returns will be much more than that I get from equities, mutual funds, bullion or even treasury bonds. I am ready to hold my coins for 3-4 years more.

I think people still holding their bitcoin in believing that it's prize will increase and it's possible that it will. Even lot of speculation that bitcoin will die and it's prize will downfall but instead of this they still believe and hold there bitcoin. It's not bad to hold their bitcoin as long as it's secured in trusted wallet.
Personally, I'm holding not only bitcoin but also altcoins for the future waiting the prize like skyrocket but convert few amount bitcoin when the prize is good.

Simply because people speculate that value will pump for the next days or time for them to get a higher value.
yes a lot of people do not want to sell their bitcoin because they are aware of the bitcoin price that it will increase more after a few years and then they will be able to earn more money bitcoin has gone a bit down now a days but everyone is hopping for the best result at august first and a lot of problem that bitcoin is suffering from will be removed after august first so this is the main reason why people are not selling their coins and still they are holding it.

People have many reason why they are holding bitcoins maybe they are waiting for a higher value of bitcoin before they sell it and maybe they are planning to save it for the future of their kids or for their future or maybe they want to buy something expensive so they are earning lots of btc before they sell it

I don't think that It could be the main reason of it all. They're not saving just for the hope that the Bitcoin price will increase after some years, because we really don't know what will happen in the future. Well maybe Bitcoin will not be as successful as we thought it would be, who knows. Regardless of what will happen in August 1st, they will still hold some amount. And for what reason? Its 'timing', your guts will tell when you will sell those coins of yours. Since we don't know when would the price could increase, then it will be just your guts to know if now is a good timing.

Bitcoin meets the test of people in the past that's why users rely on it and holding it, they believe that it will continue to grow in the future as it came from $800 to $2600-$2700 now.
