Why having my btc on a exchange (a big one) be a risk on the 1th AUG?
How can the situation make my bags the heaviest?

1. the exchange gets to choose which BTC it'll support
2. if you hold BTC you'd be smart to keep it in your wallet, this way you'll essentially double the amount (2 blockchains)
>>2777295
But then there won't be BTC trades on exchanges?
>>2777276
people who use exchanges are literally nocoiners

But if nobody has BTC on Bittrex/Polionex/Etc...
What happens to the price in the pair BTCEUR?
>>2777308
there will but you'd be limited to one BTC fork
btw when you trade on an exchange it's internal (not on the coin's blockchain); only when you withdraw to a wallet you have your holdings put into the blockchain

And what are the chances for the exchange to choose the wounded horse?
Has this happened before?
>>2777347
first of all, why would you opt to keep yours on an exchange, that is unless you're actively trading?
I expect withdrawals to be disabled in the transitional period so the exchange sees which way the market turns, as in which BTC fork gains most ground
it's happened with ETH/ETC fork, don't know about how the exchanges addressed it but I know that those who held ETH in their wallets wound up with identical amounts of both ETH and ETC

this. exchanges will probably disable withdrawals and maybe deposits too during the activation or lock in periods.
it's possible some exchanges might be "loyal" to the core devs which means they might support BIP148, which will be a totally different coin than BTC/bitcoin. bitcoinJR I think they are calling it atm.
