Should you sell altcoins before the fork?

[Nick7815]

I think of buying altcoins. Not yet but in a couple of days because i think that they will go down even more (not all becuase Lietcoin for example just rose about 10% or so yesterday). I could imagine that after the fork Bitcoin will correct a and then the alt could rise again.

[ajiejot]

For me NO, because price of altcoins now are low. Most of altcoins now have dumped, as you can see the price of bitcoin pumps. For me, after the fork of bitcoin, estimated 2-3 weeks, altcoins price will get back to the top. Bitcoin fork have big effect on altcoins, as you can see the price of altcoins now. They are all red.

Unless of course you are a trader. Why would you be selling and buying while you jeopardize your position! The rave of the moment can not change a promising coin with a good project back by able hands!

[bearex]

I think i should sell them about a week ago, and now buy them back...But regarding the fork, too many people think that they will get free money after the fork, like they did with BCH. I don't think this will be the case here, because nobody will buy the forked bitcoin.

[handsum242]

Selling at this low is not a good idea. if you believe in the coins you have then ignore the market and keep them.

[denetci]

i should sell them 2-3 weeks ago, they are bleeding right now. but i'm long time investor not a trader, so i believe my altcoins.

[feelideb]

I will definitely not sell my value altcoin. I have held some for a while and benefit Immenselly from their development. Altcoin is real and whether we like it or not some altcoin are providing services bitcoin can not provide at this moment

[fearcoka]

I think there's no reason to hold shitcoins. The sooner you sell it the better
but if you have a project that you trust, it would be better to sell it after 25 October

Why not? Sometimes, the price of shitcoins will increase a lot of value while other altcoins decrease on the market. Example as now, we have see a MLM coin is REGA has pumped 100% its value in 24 hours, so if you can bought it in the past, you had have profits today

[PadenoM]

fork or no fork, I will hold my altcoins, i bought them because i believeed in them, iliked the project so I guess whathever how many fork there will be i'll keep them

[joshmontford]

why would you sell it? if it is a good project it will be a good project. The thing is, people who were selling it, to get ahold of as much bitcoin as possible, will (most likely) sell some of the forked bitcoin gold and buy back the altcoins from those good projects, for less money (because most of them are on a downfall) and the prices will go up again. so no, don't give up

[shinratensei_]

Those are selling their altcoin before the hardfork to buy back again at the fork will be happening, i meant just like I sold all of my coins and just waiting for another chance to buy back again at the low price.
So, the simple reason to aim the decent profit through sold of all my coin before the fork of the bitcoin and ethereum will have happened.

This just like a trading method to join in the bottom and left from the top.

[cryptmario]

In my opinion I sould sell most of Altcoin before fork.
Cuz now most of peaople bey Bitcoin for getting new Bitcoinforkcoin.

[Slipknot79]

That is what everybody is using as a strategy! It has to fail.

Do the opposite to make a LOT. But ALTS now while they are cheap. I don't think GOLD will come to anything.

[zypa]

I am having another strategy. Short btc and wait for the fork. Worst case scenario I lose half of the profits made so far.

[Netzcrypto]

Only if you're making profits. Don't sell at a loss. Too late now though

[lionelho]

No, I will not. Comparing to the rising of BTC, the altcoins are relatively cheep now.

[rudox]

It all depends on your emotion. It is two way scenario, that is either the coin will dump or pump. The last forking of BTC by 2nd August 2017 saw a pumping up movement of BTC. This time around nobody knows the direction of  movement after  the forking. So keep what you can afford to lose.

[tiggytomb]

There will be a lot of people selling their alts in order to get the most of the bitcoin gold fork so it might be the best time to buy those alts that you were holding off on so when people get their gold and dump it and come back to their alts you can make a little bit of profit, maybe,

[deadmousehat]

I just sold a few my altcoin because I'm not sure about what happen after fork.
and I think price altcoin will increase back after fork.

[OracionSeis]

There will be a lot of people selling their alts in order to get the most of the bitcoin gold fork so it might be the best time to buy those alts that you were holding off on so when people get their gold and dump it and come back to their alts you can make a little bit of profit, maybe,

But I doubt this scenario will be failure, you must to know most of the traders have experience from Bitcoin Cash also know the event airdrop from Bitcoin only a trap to make us sell our altcoin, only newbie are traders can not know that. Therefore, maybe, we have not much traders want to sell their altcoin to buy more Bitcoin.
