Tommorrow is the 1st of August. The next few days will be very interesting: Bitcoin will fork into at least 3 factions:
- the official Bitcoin, with support for Segwit2x
- a "rogue" bitcoin called Bitcoin Cash
- Bitcoin United, which is an attempt to use Bitcoin as a BitShares token
To profit from the hard fork, one must move all the Bitcoin funds to a wallet for which you own the private keys. The private key is the one that gives you full control of your funds because with it, you can sign transactions.
One such wallet is Mycelium for Android and iOS.
