Thank you! I would personally suggest buying bitcoin at around the 1600-1900 price range as I foresee the prices definitely going that low. Currently, we are at about 2250 USD so I would hold off buying BTC for a little. I know it is tough because it is already at such a low price but the panic is still high and prices will continue to fall. When will it hit that range, I am not sure the exact date but definitely before BIP 148. Slower transactions could definitely be a possibility, I can't say for sure but I wouldn't be surprised to see slow tranaction speeds on that day. After BIP 148 they should fix the transaction speeds so that problem should never occur after! I appreciate your feedback :)
