Agreed. People seems to be expecting another BCH scenario. As a person who tripled my portfolio on Aug 1st I'd say it's not very likely we'd see a similar scenario with BTCGold. GPU miners already have Monero, VTC and many more coins. Instead of 2X we have 8X with BCH which is the objectively best version of Bitcoin and Satoshi's vision. BTCGold doesn't have the same kind of backing of BCH. SegWit was seen as a security compromise by many who embraced BCH. I don't see why any of them would support BitcoinGold.
Personally I'm sticking with Dash. It's both the governance coin and the mainstream coin.
