Due to Segwitx2 Lockin and possible orphans and network freezes.
Many exchanges/services wont accept deposits and withdrawals now
TLDR; Pools signalining non-segwit blocks will be orphaned (we can even say reversed) as network wont accept them.
Trading works everywhere so if you need to move coins use STEEM, LTC or ETH for now.

Thank you!
For now network seems allright - sending/receiving works.
most services moved to more confirmations now so deposits are slower
The wait is over now. Bitcoin transactions can be done now but has 7 confirmations now.
Thanks for this valuable information I think this sigwit may not affect the price of bitcoin I mean bringing down the price.
Thanks for the update.
Thanks for sharing.
I think it is ok to send still, but you should wait for a lot more confirmations - 5 to 6.
this post is to make your life easier it doesnt mean that theres no way to send ;)
but imagine 1000 people did wirthdrawal from exchange during this time and 100 were unlucky to get few times into non-segwit blocks.. then each makes ticket.
you are then stuck for a day or two without BTC.
better to sometimes wait
Yeah I'm keeping nearly everything in my Trezor right now. Even if there is a tiny risk at the moment. Not worth the risk!
I agree with you @kingscrown ..waiting time from today until August 15-20...or your coin is at risk..wait and see
think s follow me
YES IT IS OK TO SEND BTC, Because I did it before I read this article and it was successful.
thousands of people are making transactions right now and I am sure it is all going alright.
Yeah, took me 2 hour to transfer tho.
Is it advisable to buy bitcoin today or tom? Are prices going to be slashed?
I don't have any amount of bitcoin to send:(
Should get your first Bitcoins at a Bitcoin Faucet: www.claimbtcs.com
sounds like you were what they're called orphanitated or somethin
yeah, agree!
Everything seems to be alright for me. No problems here!
Why are there 5-6 confirmations involved? Crypto currency payment processes are not seamless. Is this because the people controlling the global money I mean the Warren Buffet and Peter Schiff who called Bitcoin 'Digital Fool's Gold'?
Digital Fool's Gold, lol. It has made a lot of people money though too. If nothing else it's a different way to pay for transactions, which is always a good thing.
Yes... But some exchange sites disabled the function
We should wait for hard fork to pass. In the mean time we need to make sure our Bitcoin our safe with private keys. Don't do any transaction till all these get passed away.
@kingscrown
I don not really understand any of this but I am trying to learn.
Funny you should mention it, waiting on coinbase right now.
BTW: Am I not seeing this correctly or are people not up-voting their own posts? I see lots of comments here and everywhere with no up votes. Do you all not like your own comments? @Jerrybanfield says it is ok to do.
: )
I am gonna up-vote myself right now. Let me know what's up!

I don't upvote all my posts because i don't want to waste my steem power on myself. Sometimes I will upvote myself it just depends I guess. thanks for the informative comment.

Hahaha. Just what we need, lessons on empathy from a machine. :))
Thanks for sharing!
Great info, thank you!
BTC is going to sky rocket after August 1st!
why is that ?
Not if the major pools start moving hashrate to BCC! Antpool will probably put some of their ASICs on it. They have almost doubled their hashrate since the start of July. They have plenty to spare.
Thanks a lot, I think this is a very useful imam for me. And also for my friends who have bitcoin. This I will continue to make another friend of mine. Once again thank you for your suggestions and informations. I wait for the next imformation from you @kingscrown
Thanks @kingscrown for sharing this important information.. we shall stop all BTC transactions till we get BIP91 confirmation.
Well, if you do not want to fall into a situation of orphan blocks, yes you should wait (or believe only in transactions with more than 101 verifications, to be sure it won't be undone). Otherwise, if you are ok with the risks, go ahead until 1 of August. Then after that, watch for news before doing anything.
@hms818 smart move!
I predict exchanges will win a great deal with this rollercoaster of changes/decisions/etc! Might indeed be a good time to trade using alternative crypto currencies. Interesting moments in the history of crypto. =)
Bitcoin after the 1st August
Thank you very much for the heads up on this. Just going to go ahead and move BTC to a paper wallet now. This is something people need to know about. Re-Steemed
I did some transactions a few hours ago without any problems and in a short time...
It's probably fine for most people, but I get the advice that's being given here. For some people, it may be better to wait.
Could intensify, maybe it's better to be cautious.
I had a similar experience. Seems that all is well for now.

cant wait for it to be done already
meep
So the fun and games begin. There is likely to be a lot more of this over the next few months, which means the price is likely to be all over the place.
Strap in and enjoy the ride!
Could it possibly bring downtrends in bitcoin value?
Thanks for the heads up.
Does this mean we can't buy BTC on platforms like Bitwala, or Bitoex, for example?
HODL all the coins :)
Awesome!
Lots of good news! Bitcoin seems to have a high target! I would say $5000 at least end of september!
good news
Thanks for the heads up man
Nice Move to BTC
Thank you! Do you know how long this will last?
I expect some people will find moving money with steem, ltc and doge so easy, they might never go back to that cumbersome thing that is bitcoin!
I transfer some BTC last night and it took 3 block comfirmation but I'll wait it out then.
I gave an upvote... don't really understand what that means... but it's cool! I was wondering as I was trying to do my first real exchange of Bitcoin last night on Shapeshift and it just wouldn't work. Finally did use another exchange and got it through to make my trade but... wow was I frustrated and thinking that I had done something soooooo wrong. Your post was an ahah moment! Thanks.
Bittrex works for me. I'm new too. I'm learning too. Good work with the ahah moment.
It seems good for now all works :) Resteemed!
That's not just a post. That's a Community Service 👍 Buck Up
Upvoted and Resteemed
I see good buying opportunities coming up at around 2000$.
I dont know if it will get that low but prolly around 2400-2500
I don't see $2000 coming again. :-)
Great post. Upvoted and followed. Please follow me as well.
Thanks for the timely heads up @kingscrown and I hope your post will save a lot of inconveniences. I will just resteem it for my followers. Thanks for the update.
does the last date of all matter is 3rd august beacuse i want to buy btc
Thanks for the headup !
Thank you for useful info @kingscrown
I was just doing a research about what to do with my BTC on different exchanges, whether leave them on exchanges or transfer them to my software wallet and keep them there until after 1st August. But, I can't withdraw any BTC anymore... :(
Crossing my fingers all goes well. Thanks for the advice @kingscrown
Is it safe now to transfer BTC?
wow thanks for the great info
very expensive
I also obeserved that Cloud Mining is affected by this.
I checked my minergate account and its frozen to July 19th
Sounds like BTC value will be falling until this uncertainty works out.
nice bro
Standing by to buy some cheap BTC
