How is possible, see BCH before hard fork

[netwatch]

Hello everybody,

I have a noob doubt, if the hard fork of the BTC and the BCH was on Aug 1 of 2017, how is possible to see transaction in BCH currency before this date ?

Since BCH is forked from bitcoin, before the forking date they were sharing the same blockchain hence the same transactions.
Obviously, that blockchain is actually called bitcoin, but, with BCH trying to alter reality and lie newbies they are the bitcoin, of course can easily pretend anything they want and write BCH wherever they want.

I would not be surprised the block explorer you're looking at would show the genesis block contain the famous "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." and still lie it's BCH 

My suggestion is to leave those delusional altcoiners and go for bitcoin.

Remember that the BCH community unironically thinks they are the "real Bitcoin" and some even think Craig Wright is satoshi (who wrote this), so yes, that's also included there. We (the "segwit Bitcoin") are the malicious/corporate fork.

You can search the TXID of the transaction in your screenshot on both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash blockchains (used the same blockexplorer):

• https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/2ae8a39f65fbbaf64988976993074569e34a896e040a93f0537715ccfd4ebbde
• https://www.blockchain.com/bch/tx/2ae8a39f65fbbaf64988976993074569e34a896e040a93f0537715ccfd4ebbde

As you can see, it's exactly the same as the one in Bitcoin's blockchain (disregarding the address format) because of what's explained in the first reply of this thread.
This is also why there are "forked coins".

If so, why ask?
