Given Poloniex was down for much of yesterday I was very glad I had moved my BTC out to a private wallet.
Of course, now it's up today I naturally wonder if I was worried about nothing. But I'd rather worry too much than lose my BTC.
Some excanges announced about support of Bitcoin Cash very late, when lot of people were already cashed out their bitcoins from exchange. I'm not exeption in this case. I left only $10-20 on several exchange in btc. When bch was credit, I was able to sell it at high price.
Do I regret that I didn't had all my btc on exchange? Definitely no! Because safety of bitcoins for me is in the first place, more important than to get free bch airdrop and risk to keep all btc on exchange.
This is the very reason why some people decided to move them off those exchanges because they were aware they wouldn't fulfill their agreement they have with all users who hold their bitcoin on their exchanges.
It is a sad situation to be in, to say the least.
But I did like this post from another who saw it was a good idea to offer a clean way to get those BCH/BCC if you did happen to get them off those exchanges and have control over your own private keys.
