It is very unpredictable year 2017. Please reply yes/no, what you think is the Hard Fork will comes or this is only speculations. If Hard Fork face 1-st august 2017 is very possible for BTC to goes down. If Hard Fork doesnt come BTC is on it way to reach 5000 $ very soon. We all only can predict. Show your vote please. 
no =D
There only 21 milions BTC limit. This Hard Fork is inevitable, doesnt matter now or after a year. In the case that NO Hard Fork : ETHERIUM will reach the price of BTC very soon...
does eth scales better?
ETH maybe will fall down to 0.07 BTC and then way up to over 500 $ and more.
Scales will be better
is it ok to put btc in exchange if it forks?
If it forks will be the best time to put BTC in exchange....
The hardfork in bitcoin is almost 100% happening august first. A cursory google search will confirm this.
As for the price, it SHOULDNT make the price crash, as in all reality nothing really changes with the underlying value of bitcoin. However, due to people not understanding the mechanisms involved the price will almost definitely hit some turbulence and draw down quite a bit (across all cryptos)
That being said, when ethereum had it's hard fork to make ETh and ETC the combined market cap of the two was actually HIGHER than the cap was before the fork.
So the price can really do anything, it depends entirely on the climate at the time and the people's understanding of a hard fork.
The hardfork is happening. That much we know. The price will have to be determined after the fact. My strategy is to probably cash out whatever crypto I own before the fork and then wait to see how the market reacts and then restructure my positions.
My strategy is the same. I have got the same understanding like you.
No I hope! I'm a believer in what bitcoin can do to change the world for the better! A hard fork would deminish a lot of possibilities.
If YES, BTC will fall down and will be well better to invest new fresh money in BTC and then to wait the price of 5000 $
no
We never NO. I dont trust that Trump will become of President of AMERICA, but its happens. There were odds for 5.00 for Trump day ago.
I think it will produce a hardfork so we have system like Ethereum and Ethereum classic, Bitcoin and Bitcoin classic, I hope I am wrong but mining community will decide :)
Not mining community decide to make Hard Fork. The decider is one bank in China. Will not called Bitcoin classic, the name will be Bitcoin unlimited.
Hey there. I wrote this post explaining what to do to protect your bitcoins from the outcome of the scaling debate (which I explained on the Bitcoin Hardfork for Dummies post)
