Bitcoin Gold is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain. At block 491407, Bitcoin Gold miners will begin creating blocks with a new proof-of-work algorithm, and this will cause a bifurcation of the Bitcoin blockchain. The original Bitcoin blockchain will continue on unaltered, but a new branch of the blockchain will split off from the original chain. The new branch is a distinct blockchain with the same transaction history as Bitcoin up until the fork, but then diverges from it. As a result of this process, a new cryptocurrency is born.
Thanks for the update on BTG. I am nit a huge holder of BTC so my BTG isnt that substantial. Anyway, it is good to know that there are options...perhaps there will be a pump on BTG.
Must past some time untill BTG will be strong. they are at the begining and all beginnings are hard. So if you invest in BTG do not expect a very fast grow. it will be periods of pump but will have big fluctuations until start to grow for real! I will keep you informed of these changes! thanks for your vote!
Ok, so that's why one Bitcoin Gold suddenly appeared in my Bittrex wallet, right?
A bifurcation (chain split) of bitcoin occurred this year, first was the Bitcoin Cash BCH on july 2 2017, second was SegWit2x B2X (BitcoinX2) launched on 20 oct 2017 and the third is Bitcoin Gold BTG on 23 oct 2017! SegWit2x B2X (BitcoinX2) they have not yet released their own blockchain, but the tests are very close to be end, and these period will launch their own blockchain! So.. if you have bitcoin in your wallet when the launch will ocurred , you will just have the equivalent of the bitcoin you are hold in the ratio of 1:1.. You must know that the developers of these new coins are different of bitcoin developers and that it will take some time until these coins will be really strong, because they are bitcoin childs :D and for sure will be strong coins! but must past time! here you have the bittrex statement for Bitcoin Gold https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002320451-Statement-on-Bitcoin-Gold-BTG- and here other discussions about this subject https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2254181.0;all . Thanks for your vote :D
