Hello guys and gals.

Somewhat new BTC owner here. Ive been reading about the potential hard fork on August 1st. With today's news I just read, it seems like it is definitely going to happen.

How does this effect me and my coins that I own? What do most people want the Aug. 1st result to be? and Why are they doing this?


 I have a small amount of BTC on Coinbase right now. I have my nano ledger s on its way.

Any help advice or information is appreciated.
