Without this fork, it has still been right time to hold ETH.
I am curious about this fork's purposes, too.
Let's not talk ahead of time. In the end, the team does not ask anyone for anything. if they can offer users the functionality of the same etririum but devoid of all shortcomings, then I think that many will be interested in this coin.So it's time to hold ETH!

Anyway, I am not sure what is the real motivation of this fork? Talking about decentralization, scalability, and security? I guess we already seen some project solving it (i.e: Tezos). I am sure there are ETH devs are around and they will leave their inputs.
