We all know BTC is already in ATH and killing it.
BTC has scalling issues, there were many fixes but it seems one can really work out - UASF. User Activated Soft Fork.
Some people predict there might be 2 Bitcoins after August - depending on how politics work out. So we can have again scenario of what Ethereum faced with ETH and ETC. This is because some nodes will be skipping some transactions and some (old ones or not liking it) will not. This may get into disruption of whole network.
1st August 2017 is called by some people Bitcoin Independence Day.. Hopefully wont be a suicide day.

Kim Dot Com Launches MegaUpload 2.0
In August beta of the popular file hosting service is going live. Whats its BTC connection? He will use some trick (called BitCache technology) to make microtransactions for uploading and downloading the files. Interesting to see how this works out with USAF fork going on by then.
Some people dont like Kim or dont believe in his product but still if it launches and really uses BTC like it says its gonna be huge media run for news on the coin.
tldr; Prepare for August, big things may happen!
To avoid questions in comments or making me write whats USAF exactly, this video is perfect to explain how this works.

Keep in mind, July 1st Australia will recognize Bitcoin as a currency in their country. That is going to cause a nice wave going into August. I agree, these developments you mentioned will make August an interesting month, though I would not discount what is going to happen in July either.

indeed! we simply cannot underestimate the untapped market potential of cryptocurrency. still only a small portion of the world is aware, less than that are involved. even with the current spree of crypto adoptions in major countries, remember that a huge portion of the world is still not online, or does not own a cell phone. there are so many new users available to crypto that it's very hard to imagine any kind of real slow down for years to come. add to this the movements of china and others to return to gold-backed monies and away from the petro-dollar, and things should really be just fine!

I think it's a great move by Australia to do this. But removing GST from the purchase of cryptocurrency isn't necessarily the same as recognizing it as a currency, though. And to be honest, I'm not so sure if having states and central banks recognize cryptocurrency as a currency is even a good thing. It's great to avoid the tax, but there may be broader implications that ought to dampen our enthusiasm for such a move.

In the meantime, confirmation times and fees are now annoying as hell. If we could get back to blocks with room enough for all transactions, and fees under 50 cents I would be a bitcoin lover again.

Yes that's true, which means I'm hoping to see other crypto for daily transactions. It's hard to spend $4 in fees if I just want to spend 10 or $15 and play a little bit at a casino, or cash out other crypto to debit card.
... But anyway I guess I went in a whole different direction 😆

Fees are annoying, but small fees after SegWit will also mean small income for the miners. MIners keep the wheels turning and the transactions going. If they move away.....like on LTC......

Fees are beyond annoying they are way too high. I mined when fees were about 5 cents.

Smaller transaction fees depend on less competition for blockspace and it remains to be seen what the actual ratio of off-chain and on-chain users will be.

Make sure your computer security is absolutely sound. That is the most important thing. I would use a dedicated mini computer as your wallet. A fresh install, no bloatware, good anti virus, anti malware and a good OS.

Purchase a hardware wallet! About the safest you can be : store your private keys inside an external device. I don't regret buying a trezor some time ago. During the process of setting it up, you also need to put a token sequence down on paper that you need can store in a safe place and use to restore your wallet if you ever loose it.

Since ether is gaining value from the hard fork, maybe we have to expect same will happen to Bitcoin. And if we keep the private keys of our Bitcoins we will be part of the two forks. Aren't we?

I'm still considering whether to hodl in a cold wallet or to convert to a few altcoins... Also I think there will actually be a lot of opportunities during the uncertainty phase after Aug 1st - in lending and shorting on an exchange - if you're willing to accept the risk.
The price may fluctuate a lot during this period but in the long run I think there will be a correlation between the cost to mine a coin and the actual value of the coin.
