You could. It's your decision at the end of the day. What you have to consider is that the current price is rather high, and could still drop. You also don't know how Bitcoin Gold will be received, so it's very possible you bought Bitcoin at a higher price than you should have for nothing.

That really a good advice we don't need to buy bitcoin much better to save because we don't what happen after this coming fork. So we need to be wait what happen after that fork. But its up to him if he want to buy bitcoin.

I think buying is the route to go because of the free money. Why have 2K outside of bitcoin during the fork when you can have it in BTC and get a double down of BTC Gold? Buy, then get free BTC Gold and sell it for more BTC.

Thank you all for your replies,


I'm pretty aware of the risk, but I deeply believe in Bitcoin and I know it can be the future for the whole monetary system. Although the price can drop for some time, it will grow up later on.

My point here is: does it worth to buy BTC in such high price to get the same value of BTG?

Or it is better to wait after that fork, when the price goes down, then buy a higher volume?

In other words, will BTG be more valuable than the BTC price dump later?

Example

I can now buy 1 BTC for $6000 & then get 1 FREE BTG,

Though, if I wait for some time I can buy around 1.5 BTC for the same $6000 withouht getting any free BTG.

So, the question here in other words, do you believe in BTG to be valuabe so that I pay that high price for BTC for now? Does it deserve it?


I know it's all guessing, but educated & guided guessing is very helpful to some extent.


Thanks so much for your time.

It's absolutely a gamble, but I think the odds are on buying BTC now and getting the free BTG. Even if BTC then goes down it will eventually recover and go up again so I don't think you'll lose.

The problem is we do not know what will be Bitcoin Gold price be. I remember Bitcoin Cash was around $300. If you buy $2000 worth of BTC which is around 0.33 BTC, you should receive around 0.33 Bitcoin Gold. If each Bitcoin Gold is $300, your Bitcoin Gold will be worth $100. It is your decision whether it is worth buying BTC now for the free Bitcoin Gold.

If it is me, I will not buy BTC for the sake of receiving Bitcoin Gold.

I think BTG will be a shittier shitcoin than BCH. I have a decent amount of btc, most of which I'm putting in decent alts that have been affected most by the raise in btc. It's easy money, arguably more and easier than waiting for the fork. And anyways, I don't wanna support a stupid shitcoin like btg. Possible scam as well.

if you have extra money there, then you should buy as bitcoin is rising and rising and will reach the 7k mark before the fork ?  they say! and btg is a good investment to have ! for free!! this will boom like BCC ...

Some of the same. If you already have bitcoin, enjoy your bonus. this will undoubtedly go the way of bitcoin cash. but if you are thinking about buying bitcoin just to take the snapshot, please be wary. The snapshot is seemingly already priced in. Dont be surprised if we experience a major retraction after the fork/snapshot, as the current price of btc is most likely a result of this. WE ARE IN AN ALL TIME HIGH. Dont forget this. Empirically, when we get here, some government will introduce some guidance about btc and then we retract.


Trust in the past. It really does have a habit of repeating itself.
