Hi!
With the impending hard fork with Bitcoin Gold in October and 2x in November, what type of wallet should I put my bitcoin in to ensure I will get both currencies (the original and the new)?
I currently leave my BTC on coinbase (which apparently is a horrible idea) and from what I have read, people who had BTC during the Bitcoin cash hardfork did not get their bitcoin cash. I want to ensure I get what I technically own.
Thank you!

Don't put your Bitcoin on Coinbase, that's for sure. They threatened to not credit users with their BCC (but eventually did). Most good wallet developers will support their community by supporting all forks. Use a wallet like Electrum for the time being, or even better, if you have a Ledger or Trezor wallet.
Thanks for re-post. Recently on bitcointalk too much questions in this regard can be seen.
For what this guide is missing - wallets for mobile devices. This type of wallets, in despite that they can be considered as less secured, is quite valuable option thou.

On my to do list. Stay tuned.
I'm pretty new. Going to get one of this
Yay!
Nice guide. Lots of great information.
I did notice you say paper wallets are, Not as portable as a hardware wallet which I dont necessarily agree with. I think it should be replaced with the con, More easily destroyed than a hardware wallet which I think is more accurate.
