<p>The history of the time until August 1 was copied. So the person who had your BTC at August 1, has the control of the BCH.</p>

<p>They state you should hold BTC on August 1 and you held BTC since October. Because August comes before October, you did not have any BTC in your wallet on August 1 and therefore do not see any BCH in your account.</p>

Yes, now sounds like a stupid question haha.
Made sense after I posted it but I wanted to be sure.

Now, if Coinbase supports a hardfork, should you move your coins from GDAX to Coinbase? Or is GDAX the same.

<p>Does that mean "since" August 1? 'cause I have had Bitcoin since October on Coinbase but I <strong>don't see any BCH on my account.</strong>
However, I sent all my BTC to GDAX (Coinbase &amp; GDAX should be the same).. But does that make the difference?</p>
