Im on the decision of taking profit right now and convert my btc into fiat because i am really afraid of august 1, but after reading all the post here i am convince that many people here are being optimistic and see bitcoin will surely rise after the said downfall, and now i realized that the bip148 will surely helps us to make the fees low and for a faster transaction.
Well that's your decision and no one can stop you from having that idea, but you're believing of a certain conditions that will bring negative effect for us. I tell it won't be doing as bad when that day comes, and as a reminder about your holdings, maybe you will do panic buying in the future whwn btc rises so fast after August one. Nothing to be afraid of and everybody should be staying strong despite of the unpredictable situation of bitcoin, stay focus and don't lose hope.
