This is very alarming for those who hold Bitcoin just to get Bitcoin Gold. BTG price is dropping very quick so useless for those who hold their bitcoin just to get BTG.

All the Bitcoins are useless. I did a transaction today in BTC and paid 2.50 in fees, it took 40 minutes. It's a ponzi scheme, not a store a value. You can't have a value stored in something useless.

Its not alarming after all but yet this thing is really just a normal thing to happen and it is somehow expected already to happen.People will normally dump their BTG for easy free money.Who doesnt love free money?
I do strongly believe this is the only thing that they saw on this coin which i can say too that it is somehow useless too just like on bitcoin cash too.

Post the definition of "Ponzi". Then tell us who the operator is. Also, tell us who promised you anything. Also, who told you there is little risk?

Bye now

of course that bitcoin gold is useless, i received 4 bitcoin goldies, and i dumped them at 0.06 btc each one (aprox 0.24 in total) but the price was moving very quickly between 0.05 and 0.07 every minute.
Looks like everybody is selling their bitcoingold right now, that is why all the altcoins are going up, and bitcoin is just going down... It is a mess to that bitcoin is the only one who is in red numbers, so sad, of course.
But i hope that it is going to recover soon, otherwise, i would not sell my coins for $5500.

This happens not only here. Do not forget that you did not buy coins)

In 2017, it is pointless to argue with someone who claims Bitcoin is a Ponzi. Sympathize with him and help him to get a psychologist.

What to worry about bitcoin gold? It's even just a free money so whether you'll sell at good price or lower price free money will still be good as ever, right?

How come that it will become useless if you'll just going to sell it later on, almost everything that people want to say are being said without even thinking.

If there are no free coins, you'll be complaining it's hard to earn and when there are free coins still complaining about it's quick price drop.  ::)

I don't care much about BTG or BCC or BCH I hold bitcoin because I want to hold it and not for anything like free money etc. I know most of these altcoins are useless and die eventually but who cares as long as bitcoin is getting stronger with time not in terms of price only but also in popularity and adoption too.

If bitcoin is ponzi scheme then why are you here in this forum since you not in support or don't want to participate in ponzi scheme. If you really know what ponzi scheme is all about you wouldn't have call bitcoin a ponzi scheme because of high you pay for a transaction.

It is not important for me to know the price of BTG.
I do not buy BTC, it stores only a few digits in HitBTC.
if i get that free, this is a good thing. and I will immediately throw it away. very easy.

To my opinion people have expected too much from Bitcoin gold. Fast, quick, easy money and now it looks like many are disappointed. But it' s still free money. The price of Bitcoin gold is low and it will be probably even lower in the upcoming days. It's just the mess that has been made, nothing else.

It’s not really that alarming. Many people just held Bitcoin to get Bitcoin Gold because they would get free coins (not really caring about the coin or it’s uses).

I expect this to be the same with most all forks, until people realize that some forks are done just to create an altcoin with a high market cap.

Buddy, first you try to understand that you are not spending anything to get this bitcoingold. Its just free money. And who doesn't like to earn few bucks without doing anything. And one more thing. Definitely its price will drop at the beginning because everyone will try to sell their coins. It will take some time for its price to stabilze. May be three months or more. So just wait patiently.

What? Bitcoin now is a ponzi scheme? All the what? All bitcoins are useless? Then you shouldn't be here if you are saying that thing, you are transacting with bitcoin and you are frustrated just because you paid $2.50 fees to  get confirmed? Bitcoin gold, bitcoin or any other alt coins does have their own use except those truly nonsense coins that are just nuisance in the market cap of cryptocurrencies. And before transacting you have to know what are the recommended fees, then next time if you don't want to wait for 40 minutes add some more fee.


It's still early to say this.

I think in bitcoin there is nothing to waste and nothing to worry about. fluctuations are normal, even the fiat usually decreases in value. then the possibility of BTG will again increase.
because later people will spend more with BTG and bitcoin.

i cant but laugh at people's comment.........i don't know why anyone would be surprised at the happenings......this type of thing has happened beffoe. so whats the fuss about? mind you it will still happen again

God you fanboys are dumb, it's like a religion. It's an operatorless Ponzi scheme, run by idiot fans who can't face the music. Bitcoin isn't good enough to be currency.

Well, its too early to say bitcoin gold is useless as I can see its the same scenario as bitcoin cash. Yes, its a free money thats why people get bitcoin gold and sell just to earn profit.

I think bitcoin gold is dev's backup plan for potential 2X fork attack, depending on the outcome of the 2x fork, Bitcoin gold may attract some attention if it turns out that we need to collaboratively getting the mining power back from asic miners

Then please remove your signature and gtfo.

Woah easy mate you dont have the rights to give that kind of attitude towards the Bitcoin Gold i guess youre a newbie after all shame for you . We dont know that yet that it is a useless fork even bitcoin starts with that kind of upheaval some users want to take advantage of the new fork to hold that for a long time just like bitcoin cash it has  a good value for now so theyre just getting reqdy for the meantime some user dont want big money from it they are just guessing it would be high priced after time

No

I think bitcoin coin is not useless because the value of the bitcoin gold will be higher in the future. You just have to wait in such time that the value of the bitcoin gold will go higher and from that you can realize that bitcoin gold is not useless. This are a thing that you would not regret in the future.

why are you saying that?
I think BTG is very profitable, especially if we are a trader, BTG can give us big profits. and also because we get it for free ;D

Well, plenty of people got profits because it was free, but after everybody sells I’m just waiting for it to drop down very low. Other than the free coins it really has no use other than to miners, who will probably just dump the coins they mine (furthering the downward spiral).

Bitcoin gold was not free.  You are paying for it.  Nothing is free in life.  Bitcoins was over $6000.  You would of have more money if you sold your bitcoins before the fork, instead of keeping your bitcoins for BTG which is worth under $200 and bitcoin is still dropping.

Currently I have a barrier to enter BitcoinGold. Somehow I'm not convinced, and too many people's opinions about it do not give me 100% satisfaction. What do you think about this? In my opinion, it is better not to risk too much to lose.

All wanted to get Bitcoin Gold interested in the following question why the Altcoin Market is in place in general zero reaction

i don't care if it's useful or useless. i just hold my bitcoin and waitting another upcoming hardfork , i think this is the smart choice

bitcoin is the daddy and other is the son ,  :D  you will have a lot of son when you hold bitcoin for a long time .

To be honest I regret that i did not capitalise on this opportunity , because why not?
And Yes, in my opinion btc price rise was strongly correlated with possibility to get free coins.

What is next? Segwit2x? The same shceme?

yes it is. It is just a silly product from a group of silly people who want the people to pay attention to them. Bitcoin gold does not have any benefits or advantage. It only destroys and makes bitcoin weaker. The last hard fork is definitely useless and does not mean anything to bitcoin. The upcoming hard fork is more important than anything

I must completely agree with you. Somebody decide to do hard fork with nice name and make quick bucks. BTG doesn't even have own wallet at this very moment!

BTG might be useless but as long as the market gives it a value its free money

Bitcoin gold no support ! This is a fully commercial coin! The hype was very strong! The price of the coins increases! Let's see what will happen next?!!!!

Because the bitcoin gold was same with another shit bitcoin clone, You can see a lot of crap coin has used the bitcoin's name and i think that will not be surprised for me to see the bitcoin gold gets dumped a lot.

just waiting for high price because holder BTG still hold their coins and waiting time to take profit
in market the volum still low because people not trading it yet, maybe when the price with increase high people will interest

Bitcoin Gold is not useless. I am sure that we will see some nice development and good prices in the next couple of months  8)

ding ding ding ding  we have a winner   ;D

Major forks of BTC are far from useless.  In fact they end up being top ten or top 5 which is quite the opposite.   BTG hit over $600 today and it isnt live yet.  I am sure it may dump soon for profit taking but who knows how high it will go first.  I got a good amount of them and havent even accessed them yet.  I will wait. f it goes high enough I may sell a third of them and hold the rest long term.

Look what happened to BCH.  4--to 900 down to 300 and today it hits 1400  and over 5 billion volume with 21 billion market cap. :o    Coins created from hard fork with bitcoin name are more likely than others to flip BTC.  Most other alts dont have the power to topple BTC but seeing BTC cash make a run like this makes me think it is possible someday. 

In my own opinion bitcoin is not useless in our society. The mere fact is bitcoin plays a big role which helps the society to establish a civilize
system and the government to make the process more convenient and systematic. Bitcoin helps every people in the society to make their lives more better than before.

I dont think that's true.
Take for example BCH, it also cost "a penny", and now almost 2k $
So it will be with BTG, it just takes time

These so-called IFO are worthless and useless. It's a scam, and everyone who buys will lose their money.

I remember having regrets not buying btg when it was just as you said, a penny. I ignored it because upon release it was at 700$ but after a day, it dropped to .6$ i think. It was that low and not many traders wanted to buy it. But when it spiked to at least 400$, many traders had their regrets also, stating that they did not expect the price to hit that high. Sometimes 1 negativity will spread but for those who know how to read the marketcap, it is just another step for a good investment.

Realize anyone can fork bitcoin in 5 minutes (if experience). These forks are mostly scams people use to make quick profit and probly buy more BTC.

There was a pretty big premine on BTG and the founder was asking for devs to help make simple additions to the protocol. That made me just decide to not even touch it with a ten foot pole.

I do not see bitcoin is useless, All coins or electronic currencies in cryptocurrency is essential since there is a good marketing happening with this.
In can be able to promote the cryptocurrency in different countries cross over the world which will increase the community of using this services.

I know people are less interested in that coin but , last year bitcoin price is 700 $ today price 16500+ just hold it and do not loose the hope its still cheap it may reach above 1000 usd if we try to promote this coin current supply of this coin is more than 16,828,349 BTG and total supply same as bitcoin 21,000,000 BTG... This coin is still worth just hold and do not loose the hope every crypto coin is worth Hold and win..

From the very beginning bitcoin gold or other coins that resulted from bitcoin forks cannot beat the original bitcoin. Maybe the price wanted to amazed users but I really think this is just hype and will dump coin.

Now there is a growth of bitcoin under SegWit and Bitcoin Gold. In this regard, the viola falls. Falling violas is an excellent opportunity to buy at low levels, because there is a good chance that after 28th day bitcoin will go back to correction and already for a longer time, or flaunts. Then the alto will go into growth. Therefore, be careful.

It is the chat to say bitcoin gold is ridiculous but you are speaking about in between means what to think simply stupid from your view. Btg is useful the for people who is mining with the graphics card or something.
I see mining difficulty is very less since you will get the profit if you mine in the coins now you will get the value changed more in the market.

Actually, Bitcoin Gold price has gone up recently. However, personally, I dont like this coin. It is just a fake Bitcoin and it does not have value. Manypeople hold it because the name "Bitcoin" gold

I agree, it's useless. A coin without purpose. Well...to make the devs money.

I don't find this to be useless, because similar thing happened with bitcoin cash. In unexpected time it started to grow much higher in value and the same has made it among the top listed assets holding the largest capital circulation. Same could happen with bitcoin gold as well, because little by little the value keeps growing forward so well getting more Markets for trading needs.

true bitcoin is garbage, but you cant teach the bitcoin sect differently you are effectivly in a zero sum game with them....

i unfortunately also own BTG but i dont like it, i prefer not owning bitcoin and not owning BTG

I think that only Bitcoin Gold has such problems, because other Bitcoin counterparts are more successful. I would say that Bitcoin cash is very profitable to date, and he shared it in the same way as Bitcoin Gold. Maybe you need to wait and see what happens in the future.

BTCforked coins are worthless without the help of BTC,they are morelikely a normal shitcoin with only a BTC in their names,nothing special.

but why exactly should bitcoin be the most valuable cryptocurrency?

Many people in this world do not value the essence and importance of bitcoin in our whole society. In fact bitcoin is not a dump or useless in our daily life. 
Bitcoin helps all people to live in most convenient way to the fullest. They make the process more faster,  and efficient;  resulting to a less cost and manual procedures alloted for this activity.  Bitcoin is a big blessing came from God which helps the entire society that we should be thankul off.

Yes. Because the bitcoin is the most important of all. Bitcoin Gold has low value than bitcoin. If this two requires both investment and waiting,
why should invest in lower benefit? You need to invest in the higher benefit and that is the bitcoin and not the bitcoin gold.

You just have to wait in such time that the value of the bitcoin gold will go higher and from that you can realize that bitcoin gold is not useless. This are a thing that you would not regret in the future.

I always believed that Bitcoin Gold, as Bitcoin Cash, is a coin that is completely worthless and completely unnecessary to people, all of this is the scheme of our Roger Ver, I think and SegWit2x also came up with this guy and all this just for the sake of killing the network bitcoin

As a free coin, no matter it is useless or not. I strongly suggest you to hold it until the right price instead of regret after the high price

I propose to switch over to the ETH, I'm sure that by the end of the year, BTC will bypass. Which will soon lose its popularity. In the world of coins everything is shaky.

I mined BTG with decent profit. But i am suprised why value of this coin has not dropped drastically.

I dont think that Bitcoin Gold is useless. There are other tokens out there that are more useless than BTG :D Maybe you should have a look at the bad tokens :D

Another fork coin correct?

What are the use cases for BTG?

Is there a community somewhere around here?
