Sorry, but only the noobs think that something bad will happen in 8/1.
In 8/2 the btc and alts will be going to the moon.
Well, with bitmain and their bitcoin cash UAHF, which apparently they will implement, there sure will be enough room for confusion.
It's not the desparate situation we would have with the UASF, that thankfully is over, but still, there is plenty of opportunity for things to go sideways.
