I wouldnt keep my breath as segwit2x is a scam fork and not the same one that miners agreed up on at the new york agreement and doubt it will have any value.As you can see with the price action btc was going up until things arround the fork came out and people started realising that its just another useles coin

I have an altcoin that im thinking about selling solely to get some of the forked coin segwit2.  From checking online, its around 600 dollars for it.  Are people doing this or not?  Thus selling their altcoin for btc just so they get more segwit2?


Im thinking what about this.  You sell it for btc and you get it.  Then after the fork, you immediately buy back the altcoin you had.


Thoughts on this? 

If you are interest to have free coin from fork so buy bitcoin now is good option.
Now bitcoin price is not really high so time to buy and get free coin.

It's like gambling, noone knows. But according to previous forks, odds are that this fork might be profitable as well.

Was anyone able to get their segwit fork coin?  If so, what exchange or wallet did you use?  I heard hitbtc and binance gave users forked coins.  Did those users get any?

I don't think it's necessary. If altcoin had a bigger gain, it would yield more than the fork.

For me! I think you still hold your altcoin because if after forks, Price of BTC grown up! You can get profit but
If wrong, you will lose quite a lot! In general, every decision of your choice!

Well as you see, now it dumps very hard even on some little exchange.

You can do this but you can't control the level of risk, you should know that when the market fluctuates all the transactions are blocked due to increased trading volume. That may take about 1-4 days to confirm the transaction.
I would never venture for the immediate benefit, if I had decided to invest in a certain project I would hold a long term

nope. I wouldn't sell it. I did it last time and profit was less than what I could've made if had stuck with alts. BCH fork was only decent fork that made me money.

Most people are doing the same things, sell altcoin and get bitcoin fork. If you feel that are worth and the return are more then your altcoin, you can do so. For me I won't do that, it because no worth at all.
Before bitcoin fork the bitcoin price will getting higher and higher, you buy the bitcoin at the highest price.

If I were you, basically I wont prefer to sell the altcoin because we really dont know that the value will be succesfull at this very moment, both are okay so just maintain it.

Depending on which altcoin do you have and whether they can get you good return in  future.If the alts that you have can provide you good return than why you want to sell it for bitcoin.I don't think that is a wise decision as if your trade is dependent on fork than it is way to risky.Fork can help other alts to rise too.But if you have alts which you think that are not for long term than you can sell them now and buy BTC as it will going to pump atleast till end of January and you have a great chance to get a good return.So make wise decision and calculate all the possible things that can happen and than react to it. Best of Luck.

holding it is a better way having altcoin are more better it may have the possibility of that it may rise in the near future and in fact altcoin are much better to trade for so if you have some altcoin that are ahving some potential for hold it then if you are able to trade it then it may be a good idea also.

I will not care about forks and sell my altcoins wait in bitcoin anymore. Because there are good buy opportunities just before the forks to buy altcoins for very cheap prices. And i can make better profit than that fork coin they will give to me.
