As long as your coins are in your own wallet (not an exchange) and you don't touch them nothing bad can happen.

Ultimately, if both chains continue to exist (a big if), you will have the same amount of both new types of coin. When it comes to spending either of those coins you'll have to think about it, see which chain your wallet software works with.

If anyone tells you one coin will be worth more than other, they are guessing. We don't know for sure what will happen. The risk-averse thing to do is to hold fast and see what happens.

Maybe gamblers will sell one of their coins to gain more of the other, but they can easily get burned if things don't turn out how they expect.

HODLing for the longest time. Skippin fast right around the moon. On a rocketship straight to mars.

So which wallet is now safe for storing BTC, Jaxx?
I have the same question.Is Jaxx a good wallet for this hard fork?
I seems difficult to understand this matter(i am from Belgium and my motherlanguage is Vlaams and Nederlands.)
If there is a fork i hope that i get both coins on Jaxx without doing anything.Otherwise i think that a lot of not English speaking people will have problems if it get to complicated.I think also on unbanked people that have fate in BTC and now wil get confused if they don't get both coins without doing some things.If it gets to complicated i think it will harm BTC a lot .If there is a great possibility that if you get only one kind of bitcoin (and possibly the diying one)a lot of BTC holders will move to another coin.In that case ETH with second marketcap will be on the mind of many (especially unbanked , people with less education and people from small language groups).
Sorry for my English.

That is a good strategy. but if the price of both coins drop due to the fear, then you will lose a lot.

I would not trust Jaxx to handle a hard fork the way you wish. For someone not wanting to run both Bitcoin Core and BU nodes, the most convenient option seems to be a Trezor hardware wallet. The Trezor developers have stated that in event of a hard fork you will be able to use both BTC and BTU from their web wallet.
