Will you sell your BitcoinCash on August 1st if there is a HF?

[Ayers]

Why would I do that?

same thought as i, only a moron would sell because he fear the crash, but if he mean selling to buy back that is a good move in this market now, i find that this hard fork can contribute to the bitcoin price instead of destroying the value, i'm waiting for the next pump again

This thread refers to Bitcoin Cash, not Bitcoin. You're getting it whether you like it or not on August 1st. What will you do with it?

[jorenpo]

why would I sell it. I hold my BTC until after aug 1 when the split (if ever happen) is done. surely the price will go pump up.

[hatshepsut93]

I'm going to dump 50-70% of any Bitcoin's fork I'll own, then put the rest in sell orders with a higher price in case it will get pumped, if the price won't increase in a month, I'll sell the rest at current price. Forks get their attention shortly after their launch, but they drop and die pretty quickly when people realize that "revolution" isn't happening and the fork was basically useless. Generally, people who buy forks gonna lose some money most of the time.

[lazerchase]

I think both coins can be successful even besides each other.

Bitcoin as a store of value and Bitcoin Cash as daily transaction.

Good future for both, so HOLD strong

[ss890]

I'm not that panicking guy and I will just hold the coins, and I will go for both of them. I wanna try out myself with BU and btc cash too. The later one is of course the best one but looking at your data it seems unpromising. Anyway let's just wait and watch for the fork to happen, something will sort out for sure. :-)

you slay me with your turn of phrase

i am dropping all bitcoin assets like a hot potato, if for some reason I am actually holding any crypto at that point except USDT. The reason? Along with myself, others will attempt to capture as much guaranteed value from the forks, knowing that the market will dip as a majority takes profit. it will  most likely come back up, some of the forks at least, but this will be the trading opportunity of a lifetime. its gonna be like Superbowl and Christmas rolled into the 4th of freakin July.

also assuming other markets will dip as they usually do, if btc retreats.

Read the post above yours.

I think i'll dump 50% of bitcoin fork coin/bitcoincash. what would be the price of one bitcoincash? any guesses? $50?

There won't be any chain split on August 1st. Segwit should be a done deal before that and BIP 148 will be an irrelevance. As will this most likely.

I for one wouldn't be out of Bitcoin on that day and if you are you won't have any Bitcoin Cash to play with either unless you, like, buy it.

[Drnice]

I know a lot of people are going to sell their coins soon so just wait and see.

What should be our expectations from you, if we don't sell or maybe use it to buy altcoins.

[aardvark15]

I don't know why people will sell their Bitcoins unless they think there is a price drop. The issue that I've heard is that we shouldn't keep Bitcoins on an exchange if we don't have the private keys for the wallet. As long as the bitcoins are secure, you wouldn't need to sell them. I assume that after a fork, everyone that has Bitcoins will then have both coins that result from the fork so whichever one is the successful fork you would still have all your coins there. I'm just moving all Bitcoins to an offline wallet except for the ones I can't get to (loaned out).

but i am skepical of holding btc at this moment, brosephalus, and i will be candid. i will have to store on a private wallet; when the dust settles, all of the speculators will rush to deposit, sloging everything down like an eth ico. i seriously want to capture peak value; even if im not holding btc, i understand this is a highly profitable scenario if i trade with discipline. im figuring holding tether is smart because im at least pegged to USD; when the shit goes live and the whistle blows, i want to be able to buy immediately if it trends up, or cackle and set a shit bid for when it bottoms. i rely on my intuition by absorbing the market sentiment on this forum, reddit, and my convos with fellow traders. i even lurk trollboxes for scoops. i cant read this man, and it makes me nervous.

and i like free money, dammit. torn about this, man.

[xSkylarx]

If this would really happen and we can't stop it I think I would just hold it,
And I would just wait for it's price to rise up and meet my price range before I sell it.

[xuan87]

I think I will hold both of the coin if hard fork is happening, I see the coins as the long term investment and the price will not really good when hard fork just happened, so I will hold it and wait for the right time to sell it, I wish hard fork could be avoided but I must prepare for the worst case

I will hold but I think many are going to sell under those circumstances since many fear the worst in the case a hard fork happens, and to be honest I cannot blame them but if ETH and ETC are examples to follow then bitcoin will be fine after the hard fork.

[Mike Mayor]

Never !! I don't even think there is going to be a fork. It's doexukation and FUD. Nothing more. Pole who sell will regret it just like they did selling a few days ago. Many people don't learn the first time around so will sell again. Then be all angry when the lose their money and blame Bitcoin.

[Hui8]

Bitcoin is hard itself and no hard or sift fork can shake the base of bitcoin. The price for bitcoin cash is going to be the same as it is today and will grow tomorrow as it has done again and again. The fork is just change that should not be taken as bad thing, but it is some corrections are thought by smart brains in the field. Hope to see both grow big and we get the opportunity to invest and earn back from them .

[lighpulsar07]

Yes definitely i will sell all bitcoincash and turn them into bitcoin and besides it's a free money and also will do the same at jihan's hard fork bitcoin ABC  if that's going to happen.

wtf? there is going a fork research it first before posting. and it's all about bitcoincash and not the bitcoin itself you moron. bitcoincash is a user activated hard fork of VIABTC that will activate at the same time with UASF (BIP 148).

If there will be a hardfork and there will be a bitcoin split I will not sell my coins. The reason is that before August 1 I will convert all my bitcoins into dollars and wait until everything is okay. I want to play safe so that before anything bad will happen my investment is safe. I am also planning to migrate into litecoins before August 1 and I will use half of my bitcoins to do that. I want to play safe and at the same time I want to earn. If in the end hardfork will rule the bitcoin market then I will buy hardfork bitcoins.

Whether there will be a drastic reduction in bitcoin values? im scared
