Price BTC after SegWit2x?

[xypos]

How think what price BTC will be after SegWit2x?

I think $6000

I'm said August 08 that BTC price after segwit will be $4500, I'm right https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2073830.msg20718415#msg20718415

Could definitely happen.

Forks, if gone right, can always impact the price of bitcoin positively. People will probably panic dump just before the Segwit2x fork happens and then right afterwards when they realize that nothing has gone wrong, they buy up as much as they can as the panic is now gone.

When that happens, $6000 could well be possible. It's not that big of a climb even, when compared to the 1st August event.

Before the middle of next month we should expect a little correction that will push price back bellow $4000 and this is a whales activities that can easily be predicted when there is  a future dates of hardfork issue like this November one. I expect or I am speculating the price to go as high as $7000 after the hardfork and now is the best time to buy low. If the hardfork hold and there is a split then the price may be around $4500 as many are speculating on reddit that sigwith 2* is governments taking over bitcoin.

no BitGold is another altcoin which has nothing to do with any of this! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitgold/#markets

Ah, I should have known that the name "Bitgold" would have already been taken.

bitcoin gold is a new fork planning to make bitcoin GPU mine-able. http://btcgpu.org/
that is why it is also called BTCGPU. so far the website has nothing on it except the date and the links at the bottom. but the information that was gathered it has a huge premine.

Where's the info on the pre-mine? I assumed it was a straight copy of the UTXO set, just like Bitcoin Cash. I guess not. In any case, I'm not going to worry about it too much. It sounds like the project won't go very far.

I'm confused for that Bitcoin Gold airdrop is that really happening on October 25th? Do you have some articles or news about it? Can you post it here so that we can able to read and be updated for the fork that will happen on this November.

I've seen a few articles, but there isn't much substantive info around. I don't think the developers are very active and I doubt the project will go anywhere. But you can follow it here: https://twitter.com/btcgpu

After segwit bitcoin value was definitely raised up, no questions with that. However on the first time of segwit it is going deep before recovered and increase. I think if the segwit happen for the second time it was not results of good effect to the bitcoin community.

Seems to me it still didn't solve slow confirmation times that well and because of it, impact on btc price is not that much. If somehow transactions became instantaneous again, maybe segwit 2X might help bitcoin reach new highs but as things didn't really have gone that way, $4500 was the price we have seen after segwit. I had hoped for it to be more than that though.

6000 is nothing if SegWit2X really kicks in and proves successful to the entire mining community because then, the fee might go way down and there will be some real need for the value of BTC in fiat to be increased to let everything remain stabilized. I think 10k is not far once everything happens as said (not this year though).

But, $6000 is a good value for bitcoin, maybe after SegWit2X kicks in, the price could skyrocketing because so many people probably have learned from the implementation of SegWit in the past.
But let be realistic here, bitcoin hasn't yet reach $6000, there's no guarantee that will reach that far.

It is very likely that price will go up after hard fork because many just wait that the situation regarding this finally ended.But we always have to be careful because it is difficult to say what can happen with fork or after.I hope there will not be some very bad news which always negatively affect on price as we can see recently.Although bad news cause price drop it is not like before for long term,people are become smarter and they do not give their coins easy away.There will be always newbies/weak hands and panic selling,but whales need to live of something

[cryp24x]

i would say Bitcoin price to the moon!  Segwit2x simply signals bullish bitcoin.  Especially if it is successfuly implemented.  I can see easy $6k  once the hype of segwit2x kicks in just like a bull in a steroid.  Though there is a possibility that a drop may happen before it is implemented and many people will try to FUD the Bitcoin market to get enough cheap coins fo thenext uptrend.

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

The problem (and their plan) is that the corporations that they have bribed (namely, Coinbase, BitPay, Xapo, and other places were there are tons of online wallets from clueless people) will run nodes, and these are so called economical nodes because they count for all the people using their services.

In an insane act of hypocrisy, they will claim that they have a lot of user support, implying that everyone using their services actively supports 2x (when nobody using these services knows any of this is going on).

It is a tricky situation but what I know is defeat is not an option.

[jtipt]

you guys keep talking about what will happen in the price after Segwit2x.
this question had been asked multiple times before and you should know that nobody know the answer.

Speculators gonna speculate. This is the Speculation forum.

Bitcoin price is determined not because of Segwit,Segwit2x and something like that.
it still need a lot of factors from implementation,network,economy and many others.
look at right now,korean and chinese banning ICOs.
and Chinese banning trading Bitcoin in their country,if other country following their footstep do you believe it will go higher again in the future?

China has not banned OTC trading -- only order book exchanges. They are reportedly rolling out regulations on digital currencies which classify them legally as "virtual property" but no official news has dropped. If that is the case, I think we can expect licensing to commence for regulated exchanges.

also,it is confirmed we will get another airdrop aka Bitcoin Gold ?

Apparently it is still planned for October 25th. I wonder if it will have any value, though. This airdrop isn't supported by Bitmain....

I'm confused for that Bitcoin Gold airdrop is that really happening on October 25th? Do you have some articles or news about it? Can you post it here so that we can able to read and be updated for the fork that will happen on this November.

Bitcoin gold is the 3rd bitcoin fork, or 2nd as it will come before segwit2x, it was mostly under the radar because of S2X being more covered in the news. The date if forking has been confirmed be to 25th October, you can read about it here.

The same discussions were going on at the time of first split into Bitcoin cash . But the prices were constant , like there was not much difference . So I don't think like it will touch $6000 or something. $5000 can be given a thought but not more than that.

Last segwit activation increases the block size and increase the price of bitcoin to 4000 USD that is only time of segwit2x activation time but this time bitcoin gold spliting and next hard forking is expecting by this month. We have to ready to face the any situation and manage the bitcoin by holding without any transaction atleast for a week to manage this fork like last time. Even theymos mentioned in the news link thread in the headline of the forum.

How think what price BTC will be after SegWit2x?

I think $6000

The thing is that most of the bitcoin users don't care about technicalities behind scaling, ale they care about is bitcoin utility, potential and acceptance level.
If SegWit2x will bring the progress then it should be amazing price growth as well. Do I expect that it will happen right after fork?
No, we may have some minor spike of price and then fast correction, I doubt we will see anything like $6k BTC soon.

[CryptoProphet]

i think segwit2x will be just the same as BCC fork, when the fork complete, the price will moving up slowly and then recover,and we will get a decent airdrop bitcoin gold. not a bad thing,i hope .

We're talking about two different things here. The BitGold airdrop is slated to happen in late October. That should be a non-event..... I'd be very surprised if that fork were offered on major Bitcoin exchanges. Maybe Poloniex, Bittrex, Cryptopia and other altcoin exchanges, though.

The Segwit2x fork is different, because it's backed by major services, exchanges and miners. I'm not sure what's going to happen. A split seems likely if the BTC1/NYA crowd moves forward with the fork, which would be bad for the price.

What is BitGold ?
Is BitGold = Bitcoin gold ?

How can get BitGold? it's like BCC?

no BitGold is another altcoin which has nothing to do with any of this! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitgold/#markets

bitcoin gold is a new fork planning to make bitcoin GPU mine-able. http://btcgpu.org/
that is why it is also called BTCGPU. so far the website has nothing on it except the date and the links at the bottom. but the information that was gathered it has a huge premine.

good.

If I have Bitcoin cash (BCC) can I get BTCGPU after segwit2x ?
or need hold BTC only?

I'm pretty sure it's the main chain so btc only

[ragnar0k]

An equal split would be very bad... If we have 50% users backing one and 50% the other (or similar values) the dominance will go downhill
In turn this will mean that the 23Mln bitcoins limit we so much talked about will now be 46mln. Which points to two things:
- value will be halved of both BC chains (which I expect means ~2k for each bitcoin)
- investor confidence will go downhill as obviously the 23mln limit can be changed easily, so we will be in a bear market for quite some time...

It would be much less disruptive if everyone went to 2x imho, as much as I don't like it

[surix]

It may be quite messy this hard fork, without reply protection. And I think the price will be under big pressure when we approach to the fork and as exchange will close transaction for some time, the new opening price may be very surprising.

[phr0stbyt3]

It will likely be same when first segwit had occured it was speculated bitcoin would boom but before the segwit happened many heard they will get a free currency so the price had already rised before the segwit. It should happen this time also because everyone likes free money we will see a increase before segwit happens

Bcc fork involved a lot of influential people, but didn't involve the miners. This fork will be different. The miners control the hashing power and hence the network. So it is not straightforward.
