During the last hard fork my bitcoins stored in a digital wallet. I didn't do anything and after a month I have automatically created a wallet with free bitcoin with cash. Maybe this time will be the same. I do not trade on the exchange but heard the warnings before hard fork you need to transfer from exchange to wallet. I also heard a lot of negative reviews on bittrex.com so please be careful.

If you want to assure that you will receive the Bitcoin Gold coins after the fork, you will need to withdraw your coins from Bittrex and store them in a wallet which you may have full control over the private keys.

Do this before October 25 (the day the fork is happening):

1. Download Electrum[1] (recommended)
2. Create a new wallet and send every Bitcoin you have at any exchange to this new wallet.
3. Wait until the fork happens.
4. Now this wallet has x BTC and the same amount in BTG.
5. When it's safe to spend your coins, send your Bitcoins to any place you want (including an exchange);
6. Now this wallet only has x BTG and no BTC.
7. Download a valid Bitcoin Gold wallet and import the private key that still contains the BTG coins.
8. Send them to an exchange if you want to sell those coins.
