This is best reason make we need fear Bitcoin at now! In history, the price of Bitcoin usually decreasing when have bad news or nearish event, but why not at now make the price pump before August 1st and HardFork? Is this happens helps some Big Boy and whales take last profit and crash the price of Bitcoin in August? This is some question make you fearing now
I totally agree with you.. If Hardfork will be and we will have problem of split coin like ETC and ETH aaand... the bitcoin price might drop to sub 1000$
Hard fork is surely not something we want to happen. And yet there is big chance it won't happen. Today I heard the following thought on this matter which sound reasonable to me: btc price is rising and this means bitcoin is safe and ready for segwit, because there are people who have lots of btc and they understand btc deeper than we do. If there was a big risk, they'd sell all of their btc worth billions of dollars and that would result in price dropping really hard.
Yes, this fact is a little consoling, but still the excitement remains. I am very worried about the idea that bitcoin can double and be discounted. I would prefer that everything should remain as it is now
