What are your plans currently and what are you planning to do before this date? sell everything? hodl no matter what? maybe try to profit from a chain split? I'm personally still confused and I'm not sure what to do, I prefer waiting to see what is the standpoint of more exchanges and services.
Me as a Day trader I would transfer all my capital to altcoin specially to ETHEREUM. Yes I'll sell my BTC holdings and try to profit for the time being in trading ETH. after all the Update about August 3 when all is clear and completed I might go back to BTC depending on what will be the outcome of this incoming event of split or upgrade.
Why not choose USDT or USD on BTC-e for have a safe place in next time? I think if Bitcoin breakdown after August 1st, the market crypto will breakdown with Bitcoin too, not just Bitcoin. But with USDT you can have best safe point for this time whether the price up or down
We really can tell what might happen after August 1st but for me, I'm planning on holding my bitcoin and not panice sell them right now because I might regret it after August 1st.
