What if this Aug 1 HF is a Conspiracy

[Eternu]

To be honest i must say that in one moment i had the same idea. I mean, it is not totally impossible. For everything in this world there is a chance, even the smallest one is still a chance. But also i do not think that it is an conspiracy, because it would not been so public. It would not go around news and other media. Well at least i hope it is not.

Of course all this happening is never different on 2014 or so on, they have to FUD to make profits. The bitcoin drama will never end because of the greedy people. But its still healthy for bitcoin tho.

There is some truth to that, but it's much more complex. Bitcoin is a diverse ecosystem, and we have seen some level of protocol ossification; large stakeholders have developed--some who prefer more scalable solutions, and some whose business model and profit motives more so align with bigger blocks. In the end, I think a split like this can be healthy. This type of hard fork is not coercive; there is not an assertion (as was the case with XT, Classic, BU) that BCC is "Bitcoin"... so maybe the two sides of this long debate can truly divorce, to some extent. In the short term, that could absolutely be rocky for the price, at least based on network effect.

I think it all means to us since we saved and work to have it, especially if those speculations actually happens then it will be regretful. But I believe in btc and it will recover if ever. Besides it will be tomorrow already we will know it.

So I just created a mycelium account on my phone. Went in my coinbase account and transferred my BTC to my mycelium address. Coinbase says it's pending. How long does it typically take to transfer BTC to mycelium? I thought it would be instant

This could be true. Who knows?
They are playing us with their big hands.
They also got the capability of doing it.
Spending a lot of money to produce havoc and panic just so they could create double the money they used for that.
It is a wise method but only works for whales. We on the lower side just needs to go with the flow.
But that is a nice speculation.

well if we can say this is conspirasy, may be wright may be wrong. hope is wright but let me say wrong, even that .. we know ethereum was ever split to be eth and etc, but at last ethereum still go on. i believe bitcoin can do more than ethereum. we know bitcoin is more powerfull than ethereum.

I was thinking and wonder after reading various tweets on twitter about Aug 1st . People love free Money and will do anything to get them. BTC as a whole i see it as Big players investing to drive the price higher after accumulating tons from unsuspecting noobs and forcing them to buy higher and sell lower. China used to be the FUD surrounding bitcoin but now we re way past China but need a bigger FUD to play people's emotions repeating the same Market Cycle over again. Question Every move the world is being controlled by the big Boys don't fall for it. #Wakeup #Seek Answers.

Some of your thought process might be true,because there was a time when China was having full control when it comes to the price of bitcoin and any negative news coming from China could have big implication ,but now things have changed and apart from the forking there is no real negative news regarding bitcoin and so i am expecting the price to rise after this and there is no conspiracy.

SInce bitcoin become the highest price of cryptocurrency many greedy people want to control the market. In fact bitcoin is decentralzed, the market reject. BTC is BTC. BTC isn't BCC, BTU or any other names. Most users will keep their bitcoin. They won't to loose their asset just by offer high price of new coin BCC and others.

Surely things like this will keep repeating somehow in the future there will be drama as well as obviously there are parties who benefit from all this, we can actually gain profit from events like this, for example we take the moment when bitcoin price down we buy as much as we Able, wait until bitcoin up to the point where the beginning of bitcoin down we just sold, because if the pattern is always seen like this continues every there will be events like this

Big whales always try to make people doubt about bitcoin price and sell right away if its decline, the cycle always going that way. But, as long as you understand how the cycle and market works, then you should be fine. Just buy whenever dip happens and wait for certain point to cash out and then buy back again. Do not fall to the bait from the whales and panic sell, the same thing for bitcoin cash, there is nothing to worry and it is just an altcoin.

Noobs will always give in to manipulation which is bad for health. if they keep looking at the candle stick and trade emotionally, they are gonna panic one way or the other
