I have couple of ethereum holders as friend and right now they are in worries about the upcoming hardfork ,well this is my opinion
-the upcoming hardfork is just an upgrade ,don't expect extra coins for holding ETH
-its ethereum damn it, If you are thinking it might lose value after the upgrade you are wrong ,I don't say its impossible but of all coins out there ETH stands out ,its no shit coin and remember the dev is a smart guy ,he knows what's best ,either it goes POS or not ETH is still a champ
Don't dump or live to regret it.
I'll not say that eth will lose value after the hard fork but the upgrade its self comport inherent risks and the most likely is the network split which would be possible if a sufficient number of Miners don't agree with the upgrade.
