I'm so glad the Aug 1st hardfork drama came along. I was on Coinbase for over 18 months and didn't want to risk losing what little I had, nor miss out on B-cash.
But the process of self-education just to get me onto a Trezor didn't stop, and since then I've bought more BTC and about 20 alts this month. Mostly good ones too! The hf was a needed push for me to go through a learning curve, that has paid off.
