Thanks,

I still have a lot to learn. I never ask myself what client I was using. I just bought some BTC on an exchange and send them to my cold storage. I guess I can still hold my BTC, whatever happens in january 16 will not affect my holding, isn't it (despite the quotation obv) ?

Thank you for all the answers, I think it's important for advanced users to take time to explain this kind of things to beginner in order to grow the number of new users and so the popularity of BTC.

Hi,

This is my first post and I consider myself as a big beginner even if I read a ton of topics about Bitcoin and hold a few BTC, ETH.

As we all know a BTC "crash" happened last night. I consider it was a small one but this morning we can see a lot of people speaking about the reasons (Seems to be something about Bitcoin XT, hard fork, ...).

I repeat, as a beginner I don't understand everything about technicals explanations and I think it could be a good idea if someone try to vulgarize this big debate for us ! I want to know the issues and particulary for the few BTC that I hold. What is the risk if I don't do anything and hold my BTC ? What's the difference with BTC XT ?

Thank you,
