Hello guys my last purchase with BTC was about 1-2 months ago and i saw somewhere that BTC changed August 1, what has changed?

I used google/reddit but most of people say memes about this and i read somewhere that btc is 2 digital currency now?

Is it any different?

There is now BTC and BCH (Bitcoin Cash). If you have any BTC prior to August 1st, you now have the equivalent in BCH. i.e. if you had 3.8 BTC before, you now have 3.8 BCH as well. It is literally airdropped free money. BCH has been very volatile. Opened around $400 and went to $700 then to $200 and now at $320.

If you had your BTC in Coinbase, you will not be able to access your BCH right now (or maybe ever) because they did not support it and had no plans ever to. Later they changed their tune and now claim they will sometime in 2018. Don't hold your breath.

You need to claim your BCH in order to access. Talk to your exchange to see how to get it.

Be VERY CAREFUL when moving BCH and BTC. There is no difference in the signatures and it can be easy to send one to the other. If this happens it will be a pain the ass to unwind and you may end up losing your coins. BCH plans on changing this but it will take time.
