i appreciate the link on how to claim SV, but that's not what i was asking.

what happens to the BCH in my private wallet? does it stay BCH? does it become ABC? does it become a worthless unsupported currency?

i keep hearing so much conflicting information i'm not sure what is factual. i've heard.....

BCH will go away completely
ABC is BCH and will retain the BCH symbol
the winner of ABC vs SV will retain the BCH symbol

what happens with my bitcoin core wallet that was eligible to claim BCH on august 2017? i was told i can claim that BCH at any time. can i still claim that BCH? do i claim ABC/SV instead? can i claim all three BCH ABC SV?
