You basically get free money if you withdraw, because you can split the coins so that they can be spent on both chains. But you need to be able to do this without messing anything up, which has gotten more difficult since 2013 or whenever.
Wallets have new features to protect privacy, but the trade off is that they are more dangerous to work with. A few years ago the best practice was to make a cold wallet and then delete the private key from your computer, but doing that with a modern wallet can result in losing all your coins.
- cwilson 9y agoThis is the part I'm slightly confused by. Obviously it makes more sense to hold in your own wallet (which I do), but what happens to the BTC people decide to keep on Coinbase when a separate fork is created? If those people are not getting the BCC for "free", who is? Coinbase?
