Yes, you do hold coins on each side of the fork; there&#x27;s no plausible technical way of merging the two sides again.<p>Having said that, with sufficient consensus on the hard form, it&#x27;s likely that the other side would have so few blocks mined as to be worthless and useless; one or the biggest disagreements between the Classic devs and the Core devs is the latter generally advocate much higher miner support thresholds, e.g. my own 99% support vs Gavin&#x27;s 75% support.
