RE: Holy F-ing Bitcoin Cash!!!! Get off Steemit and Look at It!!! Millionaires Will Be Made This Morning!

in #crypto • 7 years ago

Hi, I have some bitcoin in an off line wallet. I keep hearing conflicting things about bitcoin cash.

  1. If my BTC is off line, then I have BCH also. How do I have that? Where is it? What do I have to do?
  2. AND I hear, if my BTC is off line then I don't have BCH.

Does anyone know which is correct? And if I do have BCH, how do I access it?

Thanks!

    Hi @lixtiklipbalm , to answer your questions (to the best of my ability):

    1. I believe your BCH is linked to your private/public key for your BTC if you had BTC at the time of the fork. Regarding accessing it, please look at the articles I'll list below, as I believe they can help answer your question.
    2. I don't believe that is the case; I think if you had BTC at the fork, BCH was linked to your private key.

    I would recommend googling around to be sure, but from what I understand, that is how it worked during the fork. Two good articles are:

    and this subreddit

    Hi @biddle!

    Thank you for all the info. I did go to my bittrex account and transfer one of my other coin holdings into BTC, just in case. Since I'm learning it's not much, but it's something!

    Thanks again!
