Looking to stay in BTC but hedge my bets, so I'm selling off a small portion of BTC. I'm concerned, however, about losing BCC in the process.

Let's say I have 0.2 BTC in a cold storage wallet that existed before the hard fork. If I send 0.1 BTC to an exchange (e.g. Kraken), will the cold storage wallet then contain 0.1 BTC and 0.2 BCC? Or will those 0.1 BCC be lost if I do not first split them from BTC?

Just told this to some guy here trying to split his Bitcoin Gold:

If you want to move your BCC, you have to first move your BTC to a different BTC address so there isn't a match on both chains. BUT if you are moving your BTC, you are free to move it, your BCC will stay where they are now on the BCC blockchain.

So you have 1 0.2 BTC in "Address1" at the time of the split

You recieved 0.2 BCC in "Address1"

If you send 0.1 BTC to anywhere, you will have 0.1 BTC in "Address1" and 0.1 BTC in "Address2"

You will still have 0.2 BCC in "Address1" in the BCC blockchain

The problem would be if you tried to move your BCC from Address1 to another BCC address while Address1 from BTC chain still has funds.

I hope this is not too annoying to understand and I hope this data is correct because that is the rule I've been following. Note that I still didn't even access my BCC because im too lazy to move my BTC coins to another wallet..
