What do you think the exchanges will do here (aka Coinbase) [Yes I know you should pull all your BTC off...].

If there is a hard fork, are they just going to wait until the dust settles and then give people access to both coins? I.E. BCC would magically appear in your account. Or do they seriously intend to not support one of the chains and just have all their users holding BTC worth X% less?

Here's what they say: https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/284421...

Notably:

> Coinbase will not support the new blockchain or its associated coin.

Coinfloor however says that they'll support Cash if it gains traction.
Bitstamp sent an email last night to say they won't support BCC, and will also be disabling withdrawals prior to the fork.

Now would be a good time to get your BTC out of Bitstamp, to ensure you get access to your BCC coins when the fork takes place.
