Is the date of August 1st still an important date at which we should stop trading bitcoin, or with BIP91 locked in did anything change?

August 1st no longer matters. BIP 91 locking in changes everything. Now what matters is that miners must actually enforce the rules that they activated. The new rules (all blocks must signal for segwit) will activate tonight, so that means that from that point forward, we could potentially have a forking event. This will be mitigated if people start running software that enforces the BIP 91 rules, but there are very few nodes that are.

I have money on coinbase and want to buy in a dip but can't say for sure if i'm in any kind of a risk buying after BIP91 locks in (which is tommorow) or after 1st of August now that BIP91 will be locked in earlier?

The risk begins after BIP 91 activates.

Thank you, your reply was very helpful. I've read a few articles too and understand mostly what's happening.

I guess it's a good idea to back off from buying anything now.
Hopefully coinbase withdrawal system is as good as the deposit one, although sucks to lose all these conversion fees.
