1. Cease trading altcoin one week before fork. Check.

there is no need to completely cease altcoin trading just because they are getting dumped. there is also profit to made in dumped altcoins like by shorting.
besides there are others which rise. see Vertcoin for example, it was pumped!

2. HODL the Bitcoin throughout the forking event (10/25 - 11/01).

now you are speaking my language Wink

3. After the event, move the Bitcoin into fiat for temporary safekeeping, as Bitcoin may lose a lot of value after the fork.

this is a good strategy and i will be doing this too. but with my trading funds not with my stash. never with my stash actually.

4. Dump the BGold and collect the ca$h.

i will be dumping some BTG at least but i have some long term prediction about this which makes me want to hold some too.
i have not decided how much and what i will do yet though.

5. Pickup cheap altcoin after the fork!

a little risky but a good option if you can pick up those which have a good chance of big rise.

1. I cannot find a stable or trustworthy BGold wallet. Has anyone found one? I imagine there will be many shady wallets out there, just waiting to rip off our precious coins.

the code was not exactly finished last i checked! there is only their github repository which you can clone and build yourself. find the link on btcgpu.org there may be wallets by 24-25th.

there is also exchanges that "may" credit 1:1 BTG for your BTC. yobit already said they will but it is yobit, AKA a shitty exchange.

2. Will the price of Bitcoin really go down after the fork? With the Segwit 2x split following closely after, I don't think there will be as big of a dump as I originally thought. It may go down a couple hundred bucks, only to pickup momentum again.

there will surely be a correction, there is no doubt about it. and a correction is a couple of hundred bucks drop.
then since people expect the drop it may get bigger. some also may be in it only for BTG so they may go out after the fork so the dip may go deeper.

the 2x stuff is another story though. the drop may be tiny or may be huge. we shall wait and see.

3. The above is the "herd mentality". I think everyone plans to follow this strategy. Isn't it best to move against the grain to win?

not everyone but if enough people do, there will be a small dip and that is enough to follow this strategy.

4. Will BGold have value after all the dust settles? I think there are a lot of GPU miners out there just waiting to put their hardware back to work. Of course the coin will DUMP right out of the gate, but maybe it is wiser to HODL for a while?

my thoughts exactly Roll Eyes

Thanks for your points of interest! Any personal picks on good alt to pickup after fork? I've been keeping my eye on the usual suspects, but I think a good hidden gem could be KORE.

That is a good idea to keep a stash o' BTC untouched, I agree that a correction would be in the couple hundreds, not thousands.

Def not going to move my BTC to yobit, hells no. lol. I am using Exodus wallet, been pretty happy with them.

I will check out your BGold thread.
