No you need to have a btc balance before the fork. In my case I have btc balance, i also have balance from alts. But i only got a bcc equivalent of my actual btc amount.
I hold several altcoins on several exchanges. In the midst of the bitcoin hardfork, I understand that any holder of Bitcoin on an exchange which supports Bitcoin Cash or a wallet that supports it will receive an equal amount of Bitcoin Cash.
If I decided to sell my altcoins AFTER the split on an exchange which supports Bitcoin Cash, will I still receive an equivalent amount of Bitcoin Cash?
Please feel free to explain how and why as I'm sure there are thousands like me looking for an answer to this question.
Much appreciated! Thanks!
No, you are required to have a bitcoin balance at the time of the split.
