Hello
I have a question about the next fork, that could probably come in November 2017.
When the first fork happened, I was holding 0.5 BTC and got the same in BCH (nice fork
)
So now I have 0.5 BTC and 0.5 BCH.
What happens on the next fork?
Will I get 0.5 BTC of that new third coin, or will I get 1 coin?
Basically, am I getting only new coins for the BTC I hodl or also for the BCH?
Sorry for my noob question, but I could not find any answer to this yet.
Thank you!

This is simple to understand. The only duplicated coins are the ones that share the same blockchain. It's exactly like copying a file and start working on both copy at some point. You share the same history but every new change is made on only one file, not both.
So if there is a fork from BTC, you'll only have this one duplicated, since BCH as nothing to do with the new fork and doesn't share the same history since it happened.
