Google the words Bitcoin 1 August and you'll learn why. It's too long to explain in one post.
Here are some articles that explain it.

Well I understood about 10% of what it says in the first article...
In layman's terms, what is going to happen?
e.g. will the price likely dramatically go up, or down?
Would the best advice be to sell all my Bitcoins NOW?
Cheers,
KK

These might explain it a bit more clearly

The general advice on the forums and in the articles is to take your Bitcoins out of the online exchanges and store them offline until the drama subsides. I personally wouldn't sell them as their value might significantly increase after 1 August. Your call

didn't understand why it makes sense (taking them offline).
electrum seems to be pro upgrade.
Bitstamp and Bitfinex and other big exchanges haven't said nothing yet. I thought it actually makes sense to keep the money there as the trend makers.

Sounds like fun!I plan to not look at my wallet so I don't freak the hell out. Ride the coaster
Got paid by BP three days ago @ $2,330... now they are only worth $1,900
But who knows - might be $3,000 by September!
I don't have a huge amount, so I might just take that ride!
