Lol! I've been on Steemit since it started :D I did follow you though >.<

welcome to my reply to your reply....great offering ! really like it - and the link to the bip148 node - I will have to check your posts to see if you wrote anything about the bip148 thing. I have been commenting on it but havent researched it yet. I heard if you btc holders need to authenticate their own keys and do something else before the change or it thy could risk losing them - risk of affecting exchanges especially coinbase I heard - any thoughts?

Everybody should be in control of their private keys anyway. DON'T LEAVE MONEY ON EXCHANGES! lol. In the case of a chain split, we'll just HODL through it. Yeah, I wrote a how to on the BIP 148 node set up in that link. Thanks!

sooo what about leaving Steem in Steempower on Steemit - is that seen as similar to leaving steem in a copy of a wallet?
If I have btc in cold storage - is it good- the same as authenticating my own key? In the case of a chain split could cold storage btc become unrecognized or untrade- able? sorry Im probably draining your energy with too many questions. I do like your stuff -I gave you a shout out in my weird #introduceyourself video - that got a huge .08 upvote ! Yeah!

No problem. Steem is kind of different. It's locked up in SP. That and I didn't buy Steem, I got it for posting.

If your BTC is in cold storage, you're golden. Just don't move it until after the fork does or doesn't happen :) I'm guessing you have it in a hardware wallet or printed out paper wallets. Both options are good. You could also copy your wallet.dat to multiple USB drives(in case one fails) and put them in the safe. I just wouldn't leave Bitcoin on any exchange or web wallet, or anything like that where I wouldn't be in control of the private keys.

You should be fine though.

sounds good! thanks - my cold storage is on usb drive backed up with paper key
I do have some on some exchanges now though
coinbase takes so long to complete a transaction - I need to find some other ways to get btc...like jerry banfield making a killing with affiliate links
