if bitcoin struggles because of SegWit August 1st rift then alt coins will stand to benefit. People may lose faith in Bitcoin and start to move their investments out and into other coins. I'm hoping for this because my of my money is in ETH and other alt coins
The market could see quite a boom after August 1st but its hard to say whether Bitcoin will flop or stay on top. All i know if LTC is a good investment right now. Way under priced.
good post about mind games and variants after 1 Aug https://medium.com/@jimmysong/uasf-bip148-scenarios-and-game-theory-9530336d953e
I think about move some invest to bitcoin before 1 Aug for receive 2 lines of blockchain (duplicates) like who hold 1000 ETH now have 1000 ETH and 1000 ETC.
