So, August 1st is approaching and everyone is getting a bit nervous. I wonder in which wallets will you keep your bitcoins, which ones you trust the most and know that your coins will be secure and you'll have access to them?

I will keep my BTC on Bittrex. I usually have them in Coinbase, but they sent me an email that they are only going to support one network. They will not support the Bitcoin Cash fork, and that if I wanted to access both (BTC and BCC), I needed to withdraw bitcoin stored in their wallet before 11.59 pm PT July 31st, 2017.

On the other hand, Bittrex is supporting both networks, and there was an article stating that they will give you BCC according to your BTC in a 1:1 ratio. So I just transferred all my BTC from Coinbase to Bittrex.

Normally, trusting exchanges is not a good idea in case of a hard fork of bitcoin. This time, bittrex made a statement saying that they will provide BCC for us, but, let's see what's gonna happen then.

I also moved my bitcoin funds to bittrex so that I could bet my BCC. Hopefully, they don't make a mistake, there is still risk to be on exchanges during this fork.
