Anything that will happen, i will prepare. But only hold a few coins, maybe 2-3 ETH only. Don't have a brave soul to hold at this time especially when i post this, ETH down again and hope it can increased again when HF come.
I am sure that before the hard fork, when everyone starts buying Ethereum, the market will collapse, especially Ethereum, then it will recover, but don’t fall into this trap.
I agree that at such an important event, speculators try to manipulate the price. Or someone wants to take part in their game for who will be smarter and buy cheaper, sell high, or simply invest in the long term and sleep well, knowing that the price of ETH will sooner or later go up.
