on July 12, the community of Bitcoin.org issued a statement on its page informing about the possible hardfork of Bitcoin on July 31 of this year (Jul 31 2017 20:00: 00 GMT-0400) and its implications: a portion of the Bitcoin nodes will run software that will be incompatible with the other portion, resulting in confirmations in the Bitcoin network becoming "unreliable" indefinitely. Which means that any amount of bitcoins that are received or sent just after or during the event may disappear later from the digital portfolio, or become a kind of bitcoin that other people or businesses will not accept as payment.
What do you think ?
The news ticker at the top seems to tell us there is no reason to panic.
BIP91 seems stable: there's probably only slightly increased risk of confirmations disappearing.I will still take it slow on the transaction front on August 1.
