On August 1st when we experience the UASF (User activated soft fork) - if you are not careful,you may lose you Bitcoin!

Therefore I ask,what are you going to do?

1.Put your Bitcoin into a cold storage wallet or a wallet that supports BIP 148?

OR

2.Sell your Bitcoin into other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum until all the rough riding has settled down?

Is BIP 148 completely necessary? Or are my older wallets fine? I was just going to keep it in there...

Hi andre248!

I would advise you to make sure you have your bitcoin in a wallet that supports BIP148.

The following exchanges support BIP 148:

Also have a look at cold storage wallets - it is all about making sure that you hold your private keys and not a service.

All the best man!

Thanks! Do you have a recommendation for a cold storage wallet that supports BIP 148?

Yeah have a look at:

Electrum: https://electrum.org/#home

Also you can have a look at Trezor or Ledger wallets

Thank you kind sir. Have a good day!

Anytime!
