If you had 10k Would you buy Bitcoin before the fork or after?

[OrcaTech]

I would buy it right after the fork, because it drops in price, but then goes even higher than before. If I had 100k it won't make a difference.

I prefer after the fork because we can't predict anything. Still we have our own decision making that might be right or wrong.

[greenclub09]

i would never too rush if i were you, i will wait until the fork is done, price of bitcoin is very unstable, it can hardly predict will bitcoin price will rise or drop , so the safest way is wait,  after the fork you will have your chance whether to invest in bitcoin or not, or you can buy bitcoin now, it quite low but you may have to take risks bitcoin may drop more after the segwit.

I would buy BTC before the fork, because I know what the price is now. Let's say something terrible happen after the fork and

you bought BTC during this time, then you might lose those coins. We do not know how the replay protection thing will work

out with SegWit2X yet. {or should I say, the lack there of..} 

[iamTom123]

I would buy when the value is in the dip regardless if the time is before or after the hard fork. You see, Bitcoin can be very unpredictable at many times and there is no guarantee that you can guess its movement right. Don;t be distracted by short-term views of things here in Bitcoin though I understand that you have the desire to buy more with your budget and we actually have the same strategy and thinking. Well, it is your call...decide based on the information you got and your gut feelings...good luck!

[chiggz]

It all depends on the market price. There is no guarantee that the price of BTC will dip after the fork. After the BCC fork the price actually doubled.

In my case I would buy the BTC right now at around 6900-7000. There is high chance of price going 8000 before the year end.

[farhaan]

Its very difficult to decide.We could not exactly say that bitcoin price would whether increase or decrease before or after the fork as this expected hard fork is totally different from the previous two hard forks.The result of this hard fork could even decide the fate of bitcoin.So,i would just patiently watch and then decide.

[dasdo]

Personally, I do not know 100% what will be before or after the fork of the bitcoin. So I decided to keep my money in ETH. Now it is more stable and it is also expected to grow in the coming weeks. So everyone has their own head on their shoulders, but if you are not the developer or instigator of this Segwit, then do not be clever and play the lottery.

[Caesar-Giulius]

The advantage of buying BTC before the fork is the free 2x coin. But we never know how much will the free coin worth.

So for me, I will buy BTC whenever there is a dip either before or after the fork.

Most of the people would suggest that you buy bitcoin after the fork, like what my friend have told me and since I'm new to bitcoin I do follow his suggestions just to make sure that my money somehow earn some profit if ever that I will start investing to bitcoins.

Best time is after fork because price may be down till now bitcoin price keep up and it is so hard to Down

[zizzybits]

I'm not sure what I would do because no one knows which coin will be the winner. We have BTC BHC BTG ... more to come

however, if i had 10k, i would sign up to plus500, place a buy order when bitcoin hit's 6k and rake in $1000's profit while its going back up.

Before. Free B2X coins to sell, it's a big bonus

[mikki14]

I will buy BTC NOW and after the fork. You don't have to choose if you have $10k. You just have to part your money. Buy now while the price is low. Price of BTC tends to increase before every fork (base on the previous BCH and BCG fork) because more people are buying BTC to have free coins. Then buy after the fork because,BTC price will surely drop when those people who bought BTC before the fork trade or sell their BTC.

[Frank0209]

If I had 10k$ I would buy BTC before the hardfork of course to claim free Bitcoin2x after the hardfork beside Bitcoin has very good potential I think its price will keep increasing after the hardfork so buy Bitcoin before the hardfork is my choice cause I always believe in Bitcoin and I'm also a Bitcoin holder ). If I had 100k$ I'd spend 90k$ in Bank to receive monthly interest then I would still spend 10k$ to do the same thing cause my country is going to ban Bitcoin soon so invest too much in Bitcoin at the moment is really risky

[Qurczaku]

Well noone can be a hundred percentages sure how fork change the Bitcoin rate. But If I Have to invest my money and want to earn I would invest in BTC after the fork. But remember both of the option: before or after are risky.

there will be 2 possibilities after a hard fork B2x occurs, there will be a correction. or just the opposite. but if the price is not possible to grow rapidly how do you outsmart it? I own if have $ 10k I will wait until the fork is finished because if buy before the fork I do not know what will happen.

[sumitmehra08]

I would definitely wait and will invest in bitcoins after the fork. Nobody really have any clue what's going to happen after the fork. 10K is a lot of money, and you can actually lose a lot in this scenario. If you have some bitcoins now, I'd suggest you to sell 50% or so for any price you're getting it now. Just do it. This will actually give you a 50-50 chance of getting a profit or loss rather than getting a complete loss or profit. If you don't have any bitcoins now, then you have your 10k. I'd suggest you wait for it and buy the better ones. This is not just about bitcoins, it implies to other cryptocurrencies investment as well.

If history is any indication, the danger of forks is way overrrated. Oftentimes cryptocurrencies will reach new highs shortly after a hard fork. Two prominent examples are bitcoin and Ethereum. The markets are quick to adjust to forks and recognize the value of coins even after a split.
