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?
that is the problem that you will never know about. bitcoin is always like this. price goes up then there is some kind of drama that the community insists on making bigger and bigger, then everyone starts thinking a drop is possible and sometimes it even is. and after some down time when the market makers accumulated enough price rises again leaving everyone who didn't buy in that downtime, behind.
My only strategy in bitcoin is believing to it because in my experience no matter what happen how deep the dump will be the bitcoin will be always going up because the bitcoin have many back up investors so in that way the only road for bitcoin to take is pump so buying now will be a good choice if you will hold it for a long term.
