and if i want the same BCH , i can have it from a paper wallet , and in wich wallet i can sweep for the bch ?
Something like this should work:

1. Get your private key from the paper wallet, import it on Electrum[1], create a new wallet and send your coins to the new wallet you just created;

2. Download Electron Cash[1] and import your first wallet (the one on the paper wallet that you just sent the coins to your new wallet);

3. You will probably see your BCC balance. Now you have BTC on your new wallet and BCC on your Electron Cash wallet.

What do you mean with "lose their value"?

If you have X bitcoins in the address which private key is printed on the paper, you can sweep those coins to a new wallet. You will not lose anything other than the fees for the transaction.

If you are talking about the   equivalent amount of Bitcoin worth $50 from two years ago. It should be worth a lot more today. You will receive the Bitcoins you had from those years, and not the amount worth $50 today.

I found $50 worth of bitcoin on a paper wallet made with Armory 2-3 years ago. Should I move them to a "new" wallet on Electrum? Will they lose their value?

Thanks
