Just had an email explaining BCH/last hard fork and it states -
'What You Should Know About Bitcoin Cash
If you owned Bitcoin before the split on August 1st, then you also have an equal amount of Bitcoin Cash. Essentially, if you owned 1.5 BTC prior to the fork, you now also own 1.5 BCH. If your bitcoin was stored on a non-custodial wallet (like the Bitcoin.com wallet, for instance), you can access your BCH by using the same private keys. Most popular wallets have already or will soon upgrade to supporting BCH. Most Bitcoin wallets will let you export your private keys, which can be used to move your Bitcoin Cash into a BCH wallet. There are many tutorials on the subject of splitting your bitcoins, but please make sure it’s a trustworthy source. Bitcoin.com published a tutorial on how to do this, available here.
Wallets supporting Bitcoin Cash now include Electron Cash, Ledger Wallet, and Trezor, along with the Bitcoin ABC, Bitcoin Unlimited, Bitcoin Classic, and Bitcoin-XT full node clients. Other popular wallets like Jaxx, Bitgo, Breadwallet have stated they will provide full BCH support in the near future. Well-known exchanges supporting BCH include Bittrex, Kraken, ViaBTC, CEX.io, Huobi, Shapeshift, and many more! A full list of bitcoin exchanges and wallets that support the BCH ecosystem can be found on the Bitcoin Cash website.'
So if i have a wallet with 5 BTC i ALSO now have 5 BCH as well ?
So i have 'accumulated' 5 BCH in conjunction with my SAFE 5 BTC which i hold in an Electrum Wallet ??
That's the way i read it ? Am i correct ?
So do i have 5BCH that i could now claim in some way
Anyone help ?
Thanks
