Sir Lauda..a question...You said:

..There is no reason to rush claiming anyways...
So why theymos writes:

Executive summary


 ...If you take no particular action and continue using Bitcoin as normal, then your BCH is likely (but not guaranteed) to remain associated with the current private keys due to BCH's pseudo-replay-protection; you could therefore maybe claim your BCH later on if you want....

BCH is likely (but not guaranteed) ?!? Huh
Could you clarify this point?thk
Think of it this way: You have 1 BTC and 1 BCH. You do not do anything with the BCH. You pay someone else 1 BTC to address Y (not owned by you). If BCH does not have adequate replay protection, someone could broadcast your BTC (to Y address) transaction on the BCH network, rendering your BCH also gone.

Whether they have adequate replay protection is yet to be seen.


..So if you do not use any of the two currencies (BTC and BCH), would I be safe?My plan is to keep both coins and see what happens
