I really don't get why people are selling when they should actually buy like mad. If you buy before fork, you will have bitcoins in two forks so no matter which one (or both) will be continued, you have bitcoins in both forks so you are safe. And in the opposite, when you sell, then you will have to decide which fork to buy in later ... Twisted logic huh?

If you have 100btc at 250$ your portfolio is 25K usd

If you have 2x100 btc in two chains you would have 50k usd! Not possible.

You have to go at least /2

So at least 250/2 per btc...

You don't get it. By buying before fork you are betting that one of them will succeed. And you have the same amount of shares in both of them which means you always win no matter what. If you sell, you are losing both and will have to guess later which one will win.

No you don't get it! Market will not let you double spend and suddenly be x2 richer. It will self adjust so you get at most the same amount of capital invested. AT BEST.

Please reread what i typed. I didn't say anything about double spend or that you will be 2 times richer. I said that no matter which fork will win, you will have it's shares and don't have to guess which one will it be. And if new fork for example will retain it's value and old one will still be mined because some people will want to, then you will be able to sell your bitcoins from old fork if someone will pay for them doh. It's so hard to get it?

I know what you say - let me rephrase it (lost in translation Tongue

).

If you don't sell now you will end up having coins in both chains at about the same value total in USD.

So better to sell now and double your coins in the winning chain.

Hope I made it more clear!

What makes you think both chains would have the same value?
If they are valued equally, which is the winner??

We don't know - that's why 'the market' will self adjust to a worst case scenario (equal weight).

So if today marketcap is 4bn, in order not to end up with 8bn marketcap, it will fall at least to 2bn.

It is creepy how the big support at 130$ (previous breakout for the last bubble ATH) is 260/2. 260 is where the last XT code was released.
