Hi, apologies if this has already been asked .. I saw a few topics explaining a bit but I am still confused.

I have a little bit of money in bitcoin.. on Coinspot.. Is the Bitcoin Address my bitcoin key?? I assume it is.. but I am wondering why we need to put it in a wallet even tho I believe Coinspot will give out Bitcoin Gold after the fork? I do have a blockchain.info account... should I put all my bitcoin in there before the fork? Will that site automatically give Bitcoin Gold ? Clearly I'm a bit new to all this.. but any light you can shed on this would be helpful.

Thanks..

You should own your own private keys. If you are trusting some service in doing what they are saying, you are going to be sorry. These services are known to change their word out of nowhere. Trust no one but yourself, so get a full node to have 100% control of your BTC (www.bitcoin.org, download a full node today). If you don't want to... at least get an Electrum wallet, it's definitely better than having them on some webpage.

What do you think about keeping the coins in Bittrex? Is it safe or should I go download wallets on my pc?
