I have most of my Bitcoin on paper wallets, some at blockchain.info and a little at Coinbase.
Anyone here know if blockchain.info might be as much of a problem as Coinbase might be?

I read that Exodus wallet will NOT support Bitcoin Cash coins, but they state that you control your private keys. It's not really too clear what this means....

Thanks for this. I was under the impression that Exodus would be safe.
I just read the comments attached to the tweet and it looks like you'll get BCC but not within Exodus.

I don't like coinbase at all.. only had peoblems with it so I never use it. Best way to store your btc is by a cold wallet like trezor! It is great it will work for BCC as well.

Thanks for the input on wallets! I've been doing quite the research myself.
What I find most interesting is that even Coinbase, although it actually says the word wallet in their description on the App Store, is not a true wallet in the sense of controlling the keys.
Obviously, that makes a huge difference...as we are seeing here now.

Yes, and I have stopped using Coinbase altogether! Centralized systems are really bad, I'm learning. I switched to just using the BitPay gateway for US dollars, but even with that Bitcoin wallet, I removed them. It's hard figuring out what is what right now.

I think it is safer to buy other stable crypto like VIVA, USDT or HERO. Because your way, you keep your bitcoin but you don't know what will be their value at the end of the fork.

Be careful when you're sending to a new wallet!
Also, Coinbase is very slow right now in transferring BTC (because EVERYONE must be doing it ...). My transfer has been Pending for quite a while...

I get that BCC is Bitcoin Cash but I'm lost with the BTC :/ and I've yet to learn the in's and out's of how to even get started with exchanging steem to bitcoin to real cash in hand but that's a long way off I'm sure so lots of time for me to learn and actually grasp the concept :) thanks for sharing

It is true that whatever you put into an exchange or something like coinbase in some perspective your coins are 'no longer yours' as they are out of your control. You no longer have the private keys nor any control of that amount in the exchange and if the exchange randomly disappears or decides to disable their wallet like Poloniex then all your crypto is gone.
That is why it is always good to use a hard wallet or a paper wallet rather than keeping your money in an exchange. Trezor is a great one to use.
You may think it will save you time if you don't have to transfer between your wallet and an exchange and that if you have invested in multiple coins it is easier just to leave it in one place, however, with the recent freeze in bitcoin trading it is best to get your money out.
Hopefully this post will save some peoples crypto @stellabelle! :)

Thank you @stellabelle for explaining this to us.
I read about CoinBase one week ago but it looked like nothing serious and I didn't bother myself to double check the info.
Now i'm really worry about.
Thank you for the warning and solution

@stellabelle - My bitcoin investments are modest compared to a lot of top Steemians. However, I would still like to protect them and have the option of either BTC or BCC. Therefore, I have started researching off-line wallets too. Am not sure yet if they will support BTC and BCC. Meanwhile, I will explore the method suggested by you.. Thanks for the heads up. It May save Bitcoin options of maṅy Steemians.
I usually do not like to request you to visit my blogs and bother you unless I think I have something that May be interesting. This time, I have posted a blog with a bit of a philosophical question on Innocence- Does it really exist? based on my original wildlife photos and musings. I would be honored if you take a look when you have time. Your valuable comments will be eagerly awaited. Thanks

Hey @stellabelle ! finally caught you on a recent post. just wanted to mention, you may not remember but you posted in a reddit thread about 12 months ago about Steemit. It was actually what initially got me to take the jump in after reading up on it for a few days. Been here for 2-3 days and already addicted haha. You seem to be doing really well though!

Someone is getting all tech savvy and technical... I use exodus for variety and I have Bitcoin in the vault at Coinbase, the waiting time and fees attached does make much sense to move in my case, so I plan to grind it out... I sure like to get my airdrop of Bitcoin Cash, see how it goes and probably dump it... I heard Bitcoin Cash is an extension of China Communist Party as they push for a bigger hand deeper foot in the market... I be on the sidelines watching this one as both exodus and coinbase put themselves out of the Bitcoin Cash gamble
