4. How do I get some of this new FREE money called Bitcoin Gold?
Follow these steps:
1. If you have Bitcoin on an Coinbase or any other purchasing/exchange platform - MOVE IT.
2. Move it by, creating a desktop wallet for your Bitcoin and transfer the coins to that wallet.
3. Do nothing. Yep. Nada. Here is where people get confused.
4. IF YOU control the private key for your Bitcoin via a desktop wallet then YOU will have Bitcoin Gold in equal amounts.

I'm a newby to bitcoin and have put savings into a BTC exchange wallet. I dont understand this fork at all, but having read your post i think im going to purchase a hardware wallet even if its just for security! Could someone please explain how transferring my BTC from and exchange to a hardware wallet before the fork, gains me more BTC? super confused!

Thanks!
