One small problem... most of those articles were also partially wrong. The people who did the best with BCC trades were those who left BTC on HitBIT and Bittrex. Everyone else is either fucked, or left with the scraps. I've learned that cold storage is for savings, while exchanges are for active trading - I am prepared to lose everything I am trading with at any given time. Those articles that tell EVERYONE to get their coins off exchanges weren't seeing the bigger picture, they should have included numerous caveats.
