Still haven't claimed my BCHs from the pre-fork BTCs I have in my cold wallet. I wonder how many BCHs are in hibernation like mine.
You can imagine that many people still haven´t claimed their BCH from pre-fork BTCs.
There are many possible reasons for this:
-some people might not even know of the fork, because they don´t really follow news related to BTC
-some people lack the necessary technical knowledge to safely split their coins
-some people are paranoid and don´t want to take the risk of splitting their coins
-some coins might be locked due to NLockTime (

-some people might have lost access to their coins due to losing their private keys, lack of back-ups or simply dying
Besides, there is a huge amount of BTC on exchanges like Coinbase that haven´t distributed the BCHs to their users
as of now. If Coinbase is indeed going to credit the BCH balances on the 1st of January, you can expect a huge surge in
BCH supply.
