I'm hoping for things to get sorted out and everything to go back to business as usual within the first 2 weeks of August.
I recommend the year 2017 for a vacation, and stop sitting at the computer, waiting for BTC to go up.
2 weeks is too short to resolve everything back to normal.
Relax and enjoy the coffee. !!
It would likely be also be related to beta testings. And its gonna take months to fix any errors and bugs if there are any and maybe it could take long time to synchronize blocks again if we need to.This might not be a new issue but it is a new evolution of bitcoin. Many speculations on hard fork has been done and i gotta say there is yet no perfect demonstration on its effect. So take the advice and at least find something to be busy on and be ready for the august 1 update.
