Will I receive bitcoin cash automatically or will there be an option I have to choose? Also, do I keep both bitcoin and receive bitcoin cash or will I have to EXCHANGE bitcoin for bitcoin cash? Thanks in advance fellow bitcoiners.
I do not believe that you will be getting BCC if you have BTC on a blockchain.info account with Bitcoin deposited within it at the time of the fork. You likely need to have it in a desktop wallet for you to have access to BCC and BTC, otherwise you will likely not be given any BCC, nor will you be able to access it if you do not have the private key.
As for why you would want to have BCC is beyond me but if you're trying to grab it and dump it then I respect the hustle.
I don't necessarily want it either, but I also have a crappy blockchain wallet (don't ask), and I'm interested
to see what's going to happen. Blockchain was not on that list of good wallets Theymos listed, so I said screw
it, I'm buying Dash for the time being. I'm OK with that.
Any BCC acquired will be sold or spent, though as of right now I won't be getting anything at all. Sure is a weird
situation with this.
Blockchain certainly doesn't give you control over your private keys, unlike better wallets. Think it's probably a good
time to switch to something better.
