This board is going to be such a blood bath when ETH gets dumped for the BTC fork. 96% of this board has no idea what ETH is for and will have a rude awakening when they realize it will never be a store of value and is unsafe. Enjoy the pump because you're going to kys in two months.

Etherium is increasing in value because Bitcoin is slow right now. That is the only reason. Bitcoin will Fork at the end of July beginning of August and when that happens eth will crash. There is zero reason for etheorem to be worth as much as it is right now as it is not a store of value it is not nearly safe enough to ever be a store of value ever. Period.

BTC isn't going to fork cleanly -- it's going to divide into two fucking coins, or not improve at all.

UASF / SegWit are too divided, it's going to be a disaster - and by the time we're halfway through July, it's going to be dethroned. ETH billionaires will short BTC until it's dead

It seems to me from all the discussion in this thread that the only reasonable thing I know to do is liquidate both my BTC and ETH to fiat (i.e. take my already massive profits) during the fork and then get back in afterwords once I know what's happening. It's legitimately a gamble to stay in either at that point. I could be making massive gains in BTC if it fixes scalability issues and people buy it up, or I could be taking massive losses if it creates real issues

Then again liquidating may be losing out on the opportunity to take the day-of gains on whoever the immediately apparent winner is - if BTC is fucked maybe ETH literally triples as people switch over.

August 1st there will simply be a hard Fork and Bitcoin will surge in value because it will be much faster than it is right now. Etherium forking did not do anything to it people don't use etc it's a bullshit coin. There might be people that get cold feet sell their Bitcoin or something in July leading up to August 1st but by August 1st it won't matter anymore. By September Bitcoin will be easily thousands of dollars each 3000 at a minimum. I don't know why people think there's going to be some big ass crash it doesn't make any sense that's not how it ever happens for any coin forking the price typically increases

Eth will eventually go down in value there is no reason for it to be this High. VB himself does not want the value to be this high as it fucks with the fees and scalability of ethereum. It it is not a store of value it is not nearly as safe as Bitcoin or even litecoin. People trying to use it as a currency or fucking idiots it is literally like trying to use tulips and that's why the Tulip thing keeps being brought up because that's exactly what this is there is no reason whatsoever for aetherium to be as high as it is it is not a currency it is not a store of value it's market cap has nothing to do do with storing value. People are speculating on this as if it's a currency when it's not and that's why it's a bubble and it will crash once Bitcoin Forks. These things are obvious but you'll see a bunch of morons on here that have a lot of money in eth go on and on about how Bitcoin is going to die and how it's a dinosaur and whatever either even though the fork will make it infinitely efficient.
