Surviving segwit2x hardfork

[PGV3N0M]

So what's gonna happened to our btc in blockchain.info wallet after the hard fork ? have already protected it with 12 words phrase . Will I be getting the same amount of B2X in it or is it gonna replace my existing btc ?

[PointHope]

Seems like much confussion around this forking around.

I think most folks will be like me and say fork you!

I be keeping my bitcoins hardwared, fuck you forkers.

[ibininja]

There is much confusion with this; and much separation too. I mean if the plan is to sell it all our to buy it later what if the price does not drop? what are the chances the price rises even higher that already is?

[Reid]

You just made someone to haste the upcoming decision.
My mind is not yet set and I dont want to lose either.
I guess withdrawal have been the best option for most but I would rather keep my bitcoin.
A lot of forks had come and this one is a huge one since it had been talked even before other forks.
I just hope there will be one option where you dont have to be on the 50-50 side.

[greeklogos]

I have saved not so much bitcoins yet, so my plan is to hold. Cashing out will make richer only big investors who have money to buy bitcoins now and in the future they are going to be super rich. I am going to be one of those people who become rich with bitcoin.

[Ewox]

With or without hardfork my decision is firm, I would still hold and keep my bitcoin safe in an offline wallet. And obviously most exchange sites will be frozen and are not able to make a deposit or withdrawal at that time so it is just better to hold on to your coins instead.

Blockchain.info is not reliable now. They said that they approve those BTC which have the most hasrate: B2X or BTC. They dont give you free fork.

[btc_angela]

Unlike previous bitcoin hardforks, the forthcoming SegWit2X is not going to be peaceful one. This time it may not be like it was before: price of BTC rises because everyone wants their free coins, then fork, then total euphoria and price rises again.
With this one, miners will have to choose which coin they use their hashrate for. Investor will have to choose which coin is more valuable. This will cause price turbulence, and noone knows where it would take us.

What are you going to do when the Day comes?

1) HOLD bitcoins
2) Temporarly switch to altcoins (Ether, Lite, ...)
3) Sell BTC for USD, than buy back after the fork.
4) Swtch to Bicoin Cash hoping it can go 3-10x
5) Other option.

If the price really go as high as $8000 before the hard fork, then I will sell some of my stash and took a vacation someone and let the other half of my bitcoin in my hardware wallet. I won't go back to altcoins, maybe just a few ETH along the way but that its. And after the fork, it bitcoin really going down the pipe I will buy more. I will only get bitcoins though, no need to switch to BCH or any other altcoins. I'm only seeing bitcoin as really good investments for long term. And I only go for ETH as well, don't want to go to altcoins and lose my money.

Blockchain.info is not reliable now. They said that they approve those BTC which have the most hasrate: B2X or BTC. They dont give you free fork.

... that's not the truth. From blockchain.info blog, quote:
If the minority chain has significant value, we will make that value available for customers to hold or exchange for a period of time, as we have done with Bitcoin Cash.

It means, blockchain.info monitor new (second) blockchain after fork and if it has any value to bother programming work, it will be available to BTC holders (holders at the time of fork). Blockchain is slow in this matter so, do not expect access to new crypto immediately.
Alternatively, you could move some BTC to exchange that gonna add new crypto immediately or after some hours.

Do you know if with Coinomi wallet I will get both?

[Nahl]

i have say people will always be compare the upcoming hardfork to the latest hardfork which is the results from the previous one is makes bitcoin price better and i think this is not so different even if there are some exchanges who declare to split bitcoin with bitcoin silver then i'm pretty sure people will starting to bought bitcoin and save into those exchanges but i personally i won't change my decission that only save small amount of bitcoin into my local exchange and convert the rest to my local currency

Exactly, shilling hard for an altcoin. Creating FUD. Not cool. Even if the B2X or whatever it is AND Bitcoin drop dramatically, I don't think either of them drop to whatever the ATH for Bitcoin Cash.
I will HODL...and probably sell my altcoins to fund buying more BTC if it drops. Right now, my BTC is in cold storage. I may move it to an exchange at the last minute.
Still plenty of time left to see what's coming, educate myself and ignore FUD.

I don't feel that any altcoin at this point will pump and not dump soon after. I'll hold a few minor coins because they won't get me enough BTC to make it worthwhile and they're long-long term HODLs anyway.

Nothin but time to watch SegWit2x Futures.

[waynechong1995]

I have no idea, it's hard to predict what would happen after the fork, but it's almost certain that BTC would get dumped and it's value would flow to fiats and alts once more, i don't have bitcoins left for option 1 as my portfolio are locked into alts and they are bleeding since segwitx2, option 2 is what i'm would do when the day comes as i expect more cash flow would get into alts and ETH might regain its strong position again considering there are so many new ERC20 tokens from fresh ICO are undervalued/dumped along BTC rally. Really not into Bitcoin cash though i didn't research much on that, selling BTC for USD would be what most of the people would do i guess, it's literally 50% profit for those holding from 3-4k mark.

It's hard to predict because there is a lot of FUD out there. The safest way it do HODL BTC but when you're in alt you are, indeed, a little forced to HODL alt...

[Kwal]

I'm in ALTs 100%

[Slipknot79]

Obviously the ALT's are really battling to survive this which is not really a good thing. But yes. HOLD in Bitcoin. It really is that simple.

[bitbunnny]

It's confusion once again and no one really knows what is going to happen and everyone has its own version of fork. That brothers me a bit because it seems that there is no place where you can get trusted information about it.
Anyway, I will not cash out my coins although I expected some dump to happen and afterwards I will see. Hope nothing too weird is going to happen.

[ask]

I already switched to altcoins.
I afraid of this hard fork and everything will happen.
Ethereum is more stable for me and i put %70 of my crypto  balance to ethereum
