Bitcoin civil war. After 2 years of low profile fueding, rival divisions among the developers who play key roles in Bitcoin’s maintenance are set to adopt two competing software updates at the end of the month. That has raised the very real possibility that Bitcoin may be split in two parts, an unprecedented event that would send shocks through the $41 billion market.

Bitcoin has dropped because of the possible changes but it's not a big drop for those of us who have been around a few years. Alts are far more heavily down as most are just bitcoin clones with no real use cases. This may aid in the shake out and consolidation!

That is also my assessment of the Cryptomarket at the moment. All other cryptocurrencies are being affected by Bitcoin's downturn, which is caused by the uncertainty of what will happen after Bitcoin Fork or Segwit. We will all just have to ride to storm. Great time to buy some Etherum, while it's still under $200.

I think it a combination of fear over a possible split (which are exaggerated IMHO) and a normal correction after the big rises we have experienced this spring. This could be a nice buying opportunity for long term investors

A split would be bad for everyone who owns BTC , I guess thats the reason why the price is going down at the moment . A lot of investors are nervous because of the upcomeing changes. I bought some Litecoin as a insurance , because I think Litecoin will profit the most , if Bitcoin fails.

I agree that a split would be bad news for holders as it complicates matters and makes crypto less desirable from an outsiders perspective. Having said that the Ethereum split didn't seem to hold it back at all.

yeah but it would take a long time to recover from this . And most important , Bitcoin would lose the market domination to ETH .

Thank @bitgeek to tell us about the possibility of Bitcoin to split. So yes we can only wait and see but i am kind of happy to not own any bitcoin. And also i do take advantage of the situation to get some coins at a good price. THX

I think all will be fine if you have secured your crypto and hold your private keys yourself instead of with a third party like Coinbase. If you don't have your private keys, your money isn't yours.
