I can not understand what it is again for the contradictory information. Why is it that people start to agitate today, But that they start to buy Bitcoin comma because August can change completely the whole rhythm of the financial market kriptovalyut. I believe Bitcoin and I hope for an adequate price increase, but this excitement seems to me not justified.

It is rather unfortunate that a good number of fellow bitcoiners here are groping in the dark out of sheer laziness or insatiable greed for more coins that takes their eyes off things going on around them but I used to hear that a man's heart is always where his treasure is.

Come August 1st, the Bitcoin network is scheduled for a soft fork and not a hard fork. The proposed hard fork is slated to come up 6 months later, until then there won't be any split of the Bitcoin network if at all there would be one!

Essentially the soft fork will start to ease one or two of the issues affecting the network. Is it a time to run for cover? Would you rather join the panic party and dispose off your coins only to pay more for them after August 1st? Life is full of choices - becoming wealthy is one, so also is penury.

Now it looks like the chances of a split are quite low. So I would advise you to continue with your regular investment plan. There is a chance that a spike can occur on August 1. If that happens, actually you can do some profit booking as well.

A similar expectation was experienced in the weeks prior to last year's halving, which occurred without particularly drastic effects on the bitcoin price. Given that the bitcoin ecosystem seems stronger than last year, I am not in favor of thinking that in August we will see strong movements in the price, and I am more given to think about a non-event that day.

Therefore, I plan to continue my gradual acquisition of bitcoins throughout the year, with no special breaks in view of the announced August event.

Yea maybe I should just carry on with my investment plan, since I'm holding for the long term. We'll see what happens this summer maybe there will be a huge price spike. If not I guess I will HODL for the time being. Thanks for all the replies so far. I've gotten a lot more insight regarding this matter!

Even i hope that there wont be any major shake up and i do not want to see a split in bitcoin,i really hope everything goes well and i do not want to spend too much money now because of the uncertainty ,will decide about it at a later time as i am not looking for a huge profit but i want to make sure that i do not lose anything.

yes we are hopping so and to me if a person have some bitcoin, they should hold it and not to sell it, and i person do not have it then he should wait for some time, then August and when he become sure about the price of bitcoin that is not going to effect by the present issue then he should start buying bitcoin bitcoin still has to increase more and therefore can give you good profit.

I will recommend you just to wait for august 1 and look what will be the effect of bitcoin hard fork in that day and what will be the effect on price,if its good and helps bitcoin then give it a shot to invest but if not then find another opportunity

We should wait after august 1 to see if the fork will have a great impact for bitcoin because the future is unpredictable and we might see a huge dump in bitcoin because a lot of people i know treat the event in august 1 as a selling point for their bitcoin so i think some of the other bitcoin user or holders think about the same thing so it is better to be sure than sorry.

i think its a good idea to buy more bitcoin on a weekly basis but you need to prepare some money to buy. i think you don't have to wait until august 1st to buy bitcoin, because we don't know what will happen in that time and if somehow in august, the price is up, then you have your own bitcoin in your wallet and you can sell it. but if you think that you want to wait until august 1st, then its a good idea too but you don't have to getting sad if in august, you see the price is increase and you don't buy bitcoin from now.
