I dont understand when you say "thats a lot of free coins for them to grab". You are not explaining how a crash will occur after august 1. Your post is very unclear. How are the big boys going to "crush our hopes"?
Either way, I think you are wrong. After August 1 I am thinking Bitcoin will go to $3000 relatively quickly and stay there, probably even go higher. The only reason the market is so red lately is because FUD about August 1 and threads like this.
