Bitcoin Cash advice & Lightning

[Frightened]

Hello All!

I have two questions.

I sold a small amount of btc from my wallet in mid dec to cover my original stake.  I did not have access to the bitcoin cash as my node was not set up for it.  

I was wondering if the original unaltered wallet balance will be on the BCH chain or will it mirror what I have in BTC?  If I have lost the BCH for that transaction I don't mind.  I didn't sell because I thought BTC was failing, it was almost for moral reasons.  

Any information will be very appreciated.

I'm going to start the process of setting the BCH node aside hopefully this weekend.  Then wrestle with a Lightning node of possible :/

Whatever your BTC balance was at the time of the fork (August), you'll have an equivalent balance in BCH.

Thanks that is brilliant news.  I cannot sit with more BCH than BTC so that will be a windfall for me   Parity at this point will do me fine!
 Thanks again for the help. This forum is brilliant!
