Hello forum:

Some years ago I bought a Bitcoin paper-wallet at a Bitcoin ATM, for about 100USD.

Checking the public-key at it today at Blockchain.com/explorer does return the following infos:

Some block explorers does that.

As BCH (Bitcoin Cash) is a bitcoin fork, every transaction prior August 2017 is replicated in both chains.

So you might have some BCH balance as well.
For every 1 BTC, you get 1 BCH. BCH is worth about 500 USD now. You can sell it for BTC at any good exchange, such as binance, coinbase...

So you have 50 USD BCH balance. I would just sell it and buy some btc with that money.
You also have some BSV, which is worth a little as well.

How to sell your BCH?
- You need to download a BCH wallet. First you should transfer all your BTC to a new wallet.
Then you import your seed (12/24 words)  in a good BCH wallet, such as Coinomi or Electron Cash.

I made a guide on how to recover forks here:

And you shoudl also ready this to recover BSV:

It is bad for your privacy. There is no risky losing your money, but everyone will know that joe1234  owns that bitcoin address.

As you already posted the balance and it is not a lot of money, I see no problem in sharing it if you want. But there is no need also.
