Thanks for your response. Your assumption is correct. I hold bitcoins on Bitfinex but I do not want to wait until Bitfinex add the tokens. I believe that the BTC price will drop sharply right after the fork.

The fork is called off: 2x Called Off: Bitcoin Hard Fork Suspended for Lack of Consensus
Bitcoin spiked to $7828 and is now dropping to ~~$7294~~ $7123 at https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/bitcoin-price/btc-to-usd.
It seems the panic sales you were hoping for have started already.
Altcoins are spiking up.

This is really too bad, with the current fees and full blocks Bitcoin can't handle more users, and without more users it can't grow.

P.S. Is there a service that would show orhpan blocks statistic, I thought that now it is a rare case.
