Overall
It was announced that bitcoin is going to undergo a soft fork on the first of AUG.
The currency is going to be split into two coins.
BIP 148 UASF
The new coin currency. This is the first branch of the BTC split. It is speculated that the currency will be split 50/50.
If your wallet supports the new soft fork it should split it.
For example. If you have 1BTC 0.50 will be split into the new BIP 148 UASF currency.
Bitcoin Legacy
This is going to be the other half to bitcoins. The legacy coins that are currently on the market themselves.
Speculations on how the current price will do are extremely unstable.
Nothing is known about the soft fork and all predictions are different.
I think the price has to drop drastically. Probably everyone will attack the BIP 148 UASF coins as they are going to grow rapidly after release.
Loss
There is a great chance most of the people will have their funds lost along the soft fork. So hopefully if we decide to keep our coins everything will go well.
The crypto scheme
Other currencies are going to see a mass jump as most people are probably going to invest in alternatives. I personally am stuck between investing into SP or cashing out.
Steemit
The good news is that probably people are going to invest in steem and we will be looking at a jump in SBD and STEEM prices on the first of aug.
End result
Nobody knows what the future of crypto is going to be after the soft fork, are we going to burn or jump to the moon.
Or better yet burn and rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
