I am new to cryptocurrency and I am still trying to understand what happens to bitcoin after a hard fork. It appears there will be one coming soon. If I have my bitcoins on Coinbase, do the double, or are they split into two? And if they split, where do the older ones go? If anyone has this info or where I can get further insight, it would be greatly appreciated!Bitcoin-Hard-Fork-300x300.png
