Thanks for that Lauda Cool

I think the safest bet at this time is for everybody to keep their coin on an address that they control. When Ethereum forked, I was lucky enough to have my coin in an honest online account and they credited my account with the coin in the alternate chain, but there were many who missed out because they didn't control the address which held their coin. If it's on an exchange, they should make sure they understand the exchange's policy should bitcoin fork.

Yep, in the case of some exchanges like Coinbase you can't properly rely on getting both parts of your coin and working properly with it - some online wallets just oversimplify so much that they let their opinions get in the way of the practicality of needing both branches of the fork at your will.
