Any one afraid of the coming fork?
![bitcoin-2643188_1280.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc2rz7typS2gnF9birqLB9abPyRL8RpiNWVKZjQYdFCMx/bitcoin-2643188_1280.jpg)So next week is the next fork in the bitcoin network. If I understood correctly there will be a split (just like bitcoin cash?) to enable bigger packet size with lower fees and faster transfers?

What can we expect? will the the bitcoin drop in proce, will it crash or will it just keep rising?
This is all to technical for me and I’m a database administrator with 30+ years of experience in IT.

Can you imagine how hard all this bitcoin stuff is for non-technical people?
I think we can all agree that getting into the bitcoin is far to complicated for the layman at this moment. Im in for just over 2 months now and even for me it is tricky sometimes.

This however can be a good thing. Can you imagine what the bitcoin would do when all people are able to get in easy? The demand will rise and the price will sore!

I’m planning to buy some more but I think it would be safe to wait after the 16th of November.

You said it!  I've been in crypto since about July and I still consider myself pretty new.  One of these days mass adoption will happen, but the barrier to entry is going to have to be massively reduced.  Good stuff.

Have a look at the chart, i am expecting it to flow in this pattern, price may go down till $6K  ($6.3k - $6.5k is a good buy too).

That big dip is due to Big news like china put ban on ICO's and Some negative Statements from JP morgan CEO , all these added together and panicked people. But bitcoin Recovered instantly as if it never went down.. 
But i suspect , some big guess wanted to buy bitcoin at really cheaper price, so played some tricks to bring the price lower... 

This happened after the Bitcoin Cash fork, But to be realistic price went even higher after the fork, from about $3000 to nearly $5000, the dip had nothing to do with the fork. 
I think even after segwit2x, price will go even higher, as people get free segwit2x coins , they sell them and rush to buy more bitcoins. this may drive price even higher..

To me the forks are getting to be like "crying wolf".

It seems every week we hear of another fork.....I am rather ho hum about it.

BTG was suppose to take BTC out and it only went higher.  BTC will crash after the next fork?  Not likely.  There might be a pullback but these forks are only making BTC more desirable.  The forks seem like spoiled children who just didnt get their way.
