Today is the 13th episode of ~(~Q2C2~)~  and because the Bitcoin fork is in LESS than 12 hours I am dedicating this post to ESSENTIAL BITCOIN PREPARATION posts. 

This Aug 1st fork is one of the biggest developments in crypto history and there is so much going on and it's changing all the time! It is essential to be prepared, and EDUCATION is the key. 

Be sure to never trust a single source even if that source is successful and trustworthy. EVERYONE makes mistakes; everyone is wrong sometimes. You MUST check and double check. The more resources for information that you check, the closer to accurate you will be with your decisions. 

I also find it useful to check out posts that have views that you DON'T agree with just to be aware of where the market is in its variance. 

Because of this, I dedicated my last issue of ~(~Q2C2~)~  to the most important posts on Bitcoin and it was very well received because it provided a wide scope of important articles on the matter. If you didn't see that, be sure to check it out as although it's a few days old the education and information in those primo posts will help your success with bitcoin choices. 

Today I am composing another Episode focused on Bitcoin, but again because this is your LAST chance to be properly prepared for the fork, which could mean HUGE losses or HUGE gains. 

I highly recommend all of these posts, and as I said to be sure to check lots of sources not just a source. Also I recommend reading comments on important educational posts, because often someone in the comments will be aware of something the authors themselves were not aware of!

So NOW on to today's episode of  ~(~Q2C2~)~

I find it very fulfilling to find really quality/valuable posts that are not just well done, but are also really beneficial for the people using this platform in our community. 

I hope that this episode and further episodes are of real value to you!

I try to be VERY selective and only list the posts that I feel are beneficial to you as an individual as well as to Steemit as a whole. I am excited to publish another Episode of ~(~Q2C2~)~ as I have new posts to share!

Let's get into it! 

First up we have a post by @hilarski  and the title is "Bitcoin Hardfork Party All Night Long! Are You Prepared?"

This post is worth checking out because:

1. @hilarski is constantly giving out crypto updates that are short, clear, and concise. 
2. Tonight/tomorrow is a HUGE day, and it's great to connect with others who are paying CLOSE attention. 
3. Bitcoin Party???? YES PLEASE!!

Check it out!

Next up we have a very interesting post is authored by @fortified titled "BITCOIN | 66,000BTC Moved Within Hours Of BTC-e Operators Arrest"

This post is worth checking out because:

1. There are SO many exchanges, wallets, and various online companies involved in Bitcoin.
2. It seems that there is constantly some shady thing going on.
3. That may be a scam, an exchange, or government schemes. 
4. Most people have heard of the HUGE BTC-e problems though I find this to be the most informative of any I have read on the subject.  
5. Knowing whats really going on in these situations is critical to knowing the Bitcoin industry and therefore helping you make safer and more successful choices.

Next up is another post on the BTC-e DRAMA authored by @zer0hedge titled "Greece Arrests Russian "Mastermind" Behind $4 Billion Bitcoin Laundering Scheme btc-e"

This post is worth checking out because:

1. This is a big deal and potentially will cause the loss of a lot of people's digits. 
2. Getting clear on what the "real" reasons for this are essential.
3. There are a lot of possibilities and implications from this event. 
4. Stuff like this influences the value and crypto market.

Next up we have a post authored by @joseph and it is titled "What's happening to Altcoins as Bitcoin Crucial Dates get closer?"

This post is worth checking out because:

1. This post shows what has been happening in this crazy week of bitcoin. 
2. Makes some solid points.
3. Shows information to back up those solid points. 
4. If you haven't checked out this post, then it's good education on the ebb and flow of bitcoin in comparison to other cryptos.  

Check it out!

Next up and last post for this issue we have a post authored by @crypto-investor titled "This is kind of huge. Bitcoin Cash will be a major coin."

This post is worth checking out because:

1. Bitcon Cash is FOR REAL now. The question is "is it a good investment or not?"
2. I personally feel that after the fork, the value of "Bitcoin Cash" is going to go down as people sell it off. 
3. However it is here to stay and will be a top 10 player most likely. 
4. As I said TRUST NO ONE, check MANY resources, COMPILE LOTS OF DATA. 
5. I found this post useful for that. 
6. Also I recommend checking out this other post by @crypto-investor concerning Bitcoin Cash

Final feature of the day I have a post authored by @hilarski titled "The Bitcoin and Crypto Currency Rubberband Effect."

This post is worth checking out because:

1. A potential "new" term COINED (pun intended) for the crypto world!
2. There is some valuable insight in this post. 
3. I have observed this effect multiple times and have found it very useful and reliable just never "coined" it with something. @hilarski is more on the cutting edge of crypto world than I. 
4. I continually find clear, simple and concise information from @hilarski   

Check it out!

That's all for today!

Being educated and on the cutting edge of crypto and bitcoin news is more important than ever right NOW. I feel all these posts gave me a more accurate comprehension of the market and where it's going in the future. 

The value of crypto is based on demand, and demand is based on speculation. If you can be on the cutting edge, you can feel out the speculation and thus the future value.

Remember the MORE and varied education you get the BETTER. 

 I feel REALLY good about these posts and feel like you should have either already checked them all out or make sure to bookmark them and check them out sometime soon. They have real importance/value to you as an individual here in this community and also the community success as a whole. 

I strive to contribute REAL value with everything I do.

As always, I welcome your feedback and appreciate your support!
