Great explanation. As someone wanting to buy Bitcoin now, any thoughts on whether it might drop significantly after the fork and is worth waiting?
I believe there will be a good size of a dip after the fork. So in my opinion at this time I would wait. Watch for the dip when it starts to go back up that's when I would jump in. I would say about a wk or so after the fork? But that is just an opinion of a newbie. If you are interested in Alt Coins Now is the perfect time to buy while there low. Because after the fork People will be taking a portion of there BTC and putting it back into Alt's. So after the fork Alt's will rise again. Again just a Newbie's opinion.
And for the OP, Thank you for this post. Well said.
