I check my blockchain.info account just now and see I have 2.8433 BCH :shrug:

That's $3496.53 USD. Did this happen to anybody else?

Why?

I can't imagine I got free money. I did a test send and sent $100 BCH to my Poloniex account.

Anybody know what's going on?

Congratations! Free money! Some exchanges/wallets gave out Bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold with the fork and some are waiting until they can support it.

He?s not fucking with you. If you have an account at Binance you would have just received a couple more coins from the hard forks of the last week.
All for holding BTC. Ain?t life grand?

I vaguely remember hearing about wallets matching BCH to BTC back when. I just read that blockchain.info was still going to honor that when they start supporting BCH. It was from August when there was a lot of uncertainty about the upcoming forks back then and I pulled most of my BTC out and stored it in my USD vault at coinbase. Now I get a free $3500? Holy shit, this is insane. The test send I made a little while ago to Poloniex has 4/6 confirmations. I guess this is real. One weird thing is when I log into blockchain with their phone app it's not showing this increased balance and new BCH I must own? Weird but I'll take it.

Anybody else? I bet TU has a nice surprise when he wakes up because I know he keeps a his blockchain active with a balance.

Been there and done that. I dumped mine right away because I believed it to be a scam and wanted to see some money out of it. :facepalm:
Of course it soared from when it was issued and I missed out on about 1500 dollars.
I?m holding the other ones? mostly because Binance hasn?t released them for trading yet, but also because I?m so far ahead with my crypto investments that I?m not worried about losing a couple of K if these new coins tank quickly.

I sent a test of $100 to Poloniex, it confirmed, then I exchanged the $100 BCH to BTC and now have $102.00 more of BTC value.

I think I'll move all the BCH to my Ledger and hold it for awhile.

Bitpay just announced BCH as their business invoice default. The flippening is upon us. Banks own BCH:0008
