On August 1st, they will implement the Segwit and there are some uncertainties involved. If I were wanting to invest, should I do it before or after the date?

My concern is that the price would still be higher than the price on August 2nd if the implementation did not go as smooth as planned and caused the price to drop.

Also, what is the official words on the implementation?

Well if you have some money to invest, and you do not mind losing it, i would suggest for you to invest.

This is the most stupid thing I have ever heard in my life. What do you mean,"Well if you have money that you don't bother losing, then invest?"
He asked the question in the first place to make sure that no money is not.

Anyways, to answer your question Bitcoin Guy, in the best scenario, core developers support SegWit and prices rise like hell.
However, in a worst case scenario, BIP 148 could cause Bitcoin to chain split into two separate blockchains, one with SegWit activated and one without. This would almost definitely cause a price drop. So you have to be prepared to sell or buy, after the hard fork.
