Bitcoin Forum

It is stated in the news that it has occured.
What will be to BTC price?

BT Gold is traded at Bitfinex at 159 USD

not it has not yet happened. the hard fork is apparently scheduled to happen on November 1. what is already over is the block that they used as their reference for distributing the BTG coins.

you can already see what the bitcoin price is!
and you can also see the BTG price which is very different in different exchanges. i have not checked bitfinex yet but in yobit it was 0.08BTC=456$

It's very interesting to watch unfold, even though we did experience Bitcoin Cash hardfork already maybe something unique or different can happen this time around.

There are BT1 Gold and BT2 Gold on bitfinex. Which one is real Bitcoin gold? There are no trades on it yet.

Its too risky to gamble your money with sprout btc clones. I alread dumped mine and bought BTC. Look what happened to BCH. I guess BTG would have the same fate as BCh.

I see only btg witout btg1 or 2 at bifinex

Everyone received BTG in exchanges?still not received to mee.? anyone else?

It did? Haven't felt it yet. Guess we have to wait till november 1 for it to be completely felt. As for the bitcoin's price i think it would not be that much affected.

At bittrex it was stated that snapshot block 491407 has occured yesterday so on 23 October and therefore Bitcoin gold is already on the exchanger. Some have said that this will occur tomorrow on 25th but it's important to say that this is different from hard fork scheduled for November.
Anyway it looks like this is rather confusing situation for many users because different informations are appearing everywhere all the time. And not all exchangers will be crediting their users with Bitcoin gold.

The code is not ready, on 1/11 you will receive BTG if the exchange you had you btc on made an announcement they will give it to their users. I heard that coinbase would not f.e. But Bittrex would. Needless to say you need to have BTC.

I think BTG will also be added on other trading sites, of course it will also push up the BTG price too fast, holding a little of what you have

I have a tab Bitcoin gold in my purse, but access to it. Gives a message that for me is reserved, the amount of BTG which corresponds to the number of bitcoins in my wallet. How to trade if you cannot transfer coins to the exchange. Maybe those who have opened accounts on the exchange easier. But it seems to me that trading is still impossible.

As far as I understood, today was taken snapshot of the blockchain according to wich the btg will be disributed, but btg network will strart only on 1 november and only then btg will be credited to those who had btc on the moment of todays event.

Do we have desktop wallet for Bitcoingold where we can transfer our private keys, last time I have to wait three weeks after the fork when everything is safe to transfer to a bitcoincash supported wallet I like to do the same here in Bitcoingold.

Bitcoin Gold is trading at more than I thought. But given a few days I think it will start crashing when people are selling at these sort of prices.

It'll take some time for exchanges to credit BTG.

Yes and earlier today yobit started with 600usd/btg.then its down to 400usd right now.
But yobit is locked for 2 days now.
And personally i donot trust them eaither.

It’s been traded at yobit with higher rates. The yobit exchanger already started that they will be supporting the bitcoin gold so the users might just fled there for good reason.


Anyway hard fork will be on November 1st and that’s going to be amazing day because bitcoin gold rates will increase for sure. Many people/investors are buying it today at lowest possible value and that will increase the valuation after fork. BTG could go 800 USD for sure. Better to buy now only.

They don't even have a working wallet with replay protection, why the fuck would you buy it on exchanges?

Speculation only.


But with such lack in bitcoin gold development, it is a very risky speculation... As you said : no wallet, no transaction, no replay protection tested...

That's just speculation by some traders to make more money.
No one is giving that coin any credibility.
But to make more Bitcoin or money, and that's what traders wanna do, this coin will get some attention, at least for some short term while.

This. By the way check for "Bitgem (BTG)" on Coinmarketcap, there are a lot of dumbs that are buying this coin thinking is Bitcoin Gold LOL

Fork is scheduled for 1st November so it is not happened at the moment. My advise is to stay away from this fork, scammy..  ::)

I think the best thing to do is to wait and see how this all unfolds. I'm sure everyone likes the idea of something for nothing just watch out you don't get burnt.

In short, the situation is understandable, exchanges stock rules with the ball.. Who serves the liquidity, that decides the fate of forks and even the fate of markets. Miners in this process playing monkeys role, what today is beneficial that need mine. The question remains only how do the exchanges actually compete and what do they do so that liquidity comes to them?

The hype is causing these high trading numbers but as soon as people are done selling their free coins the coin will collapse.

I think it will be worse. They'll prevent people from claiming their BTG by not releasing the wallet. Pump the price and dump their premine before everyone else gets to claim.

It will just dump when everybody gets their own bitcoin gold. I think BTG is just a failed attempt at making the devs rich since likely they have so much GPU miners and they want to use it to be able to overcome bitcoins itself and be the new and true bitcoin. However, this will not happen. BTG will remain an altcoin and they can't do anything about it. Like now, you can see in yobit that they just dumped it. Prices went from 0.17 down to 0.07 and will likely go down some more.

Currently you are right at your place to have opinion about the bitcoin gold , but here we can see toward the another factor that why the bitcoin gold get crash to 0.07 btc (started from 0.17btc ) , Here the logic is simple , Most of the people knows very well that they will get Thier bitcoin gold easily , so most of them people directly sold thier btc after got , so we can understand well that how much the Market will fluctuate here to go down .
Here in my opinion we should wait for few weeks because this is that coin which is made by the bitcoin , that is the king of the cryptocurrency , so we can expect that what is the future of the coin and how much we will be Able to make profit for long term investment in this coin .

Thought it was schedule to happen on Nov 1..

Fork was today but i think you cannot make any transactions until 1.11. So just be patient, prepared and stay safe. As usual at the time of fork, there are scammers around.

lol there is no Fork on the Nov 1st

Bitcoin Gold Fork was yesterday but i dont believe anyone has received their coins yet.

However, there is another fork coming in Mid November so stay tuned for that. Its for Bitcore

The snapshot was done yesterday, no wallet is released yet.

They certainly have.
They've been selling like demons on YoBit, Binance and HitBTC.

Maybe not HitBTC yet.

Where will wallet be released?

Yobit is as trustworthy as medieval alchemist trying to fork gold from ordinary lead.

Mid November that bitcoin cash fork has to fork again, for adapting difficulty adjustment algorithm. Maybe we will see this Gold forking too.

well, I think that soon it will also affect the bitcoin price. maybe, if bitcoin price rises because btg, mean, bitcoin price will decrease after division of btg. well, let's see. but, congratulations for people who get bitcoin gold in large quantities.

I intentionally left some bitcoins that i had in some exchanges so that i could have some bitcoin gold, i missed out on having bitcoin cash just because i stored all my bitcoin in my bitcoin core software so i will not this pass me by.

Couldn't you just use the seed on another wallet to get BCC?

It's so surprising that Bitcoin Gold did not made any noise of some sort that made Bitcoin go down drastically. It would seem that Bitcoin Gold does not have many supporters, I suppose. I think that Bitcoin Gold will not affect Bitcoin's price that much. We've seen that Bitcoin achieved another all time high even though a hard fork was about to get underway within the next days then, so why would it affect now, right?

Exactly, bitcoin gold has appeared more quietly, let's say so, than bitcoin cash and made less mess. Like it almost didn't happen. It's so quiet like everyone is still expecting to happen and this isn't all. And the price of bitcoin gold is small and it will dump more very soon. I think the begininig of November will not change much.

Well yobit has stolen the star, they have gotten a bad market.
I would not bet, when fork is finished then the price is no longer attractive.
because they have ruined it in the beginning. I will immediately throw it away. back to another altcoin. ;D

That is what we are also expecting that bitcoin gold is not going to effect the price fo bitcoin. i am sure that bitcoin will continue its progress in a better way and we can still expect more all time high level from bitcoin to achieve from time to time. Hope that bitcoin will remain as number one crypto currency throughout the world for a long long time.

Those who are buying bitcoin gold in yobit or in other exchanges are because they love the risk in where they are involving theirselves. I dumped my btg when i received them, and for a fair rate, but it is 1000 times more volatile than bitcoin, everybody is selling their coins, and a lot are buying them, this means that a lot of people are trying to speculate with the price and praying for it to go up for some bucks.
I dont trust in any coin who came from a fork, any of them.

Agreed. BTG will suffer the same fate as BCH. Hype is all there is to it and nothing more. Free token for every Bitcoin you have seems good but in the long run it is not profitable.

If you had your coins in your own wallet then you DO HAVE ACCESS to Bitcoin Cash. All Bitcoins got forked to Bitcoin Cash. The exchange owners just kept all the forked BCC for themselves if they didn't give it to their users.

To have it on free and to buy it is two different thing and that matters. I do have those but I decided of dumping it as long it arrives to my wallet. I don’t have any intention to hold for it for the same time I do with bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Gold has the tendency to be on the same situation with bitcoin cash or much worst.

Don’t get yourself in a difficult scene, don’t attempt or even tried to buy any forking coin, we should not support this kind of coins that is mad to endanger bitcoin value. If we do that, it will be the reason for them to stop of this forking.

Bitcoin would would go down like Bitcoin cash did last fork. Most of the hodlers of Bitcoin that got some chunk of bitcoin cash did sold their BCH instantly and trading it to BTC. The price of btc would regulate after the fork by my speculation.

 According to freebitcoin as of October 18 the hard fork will took place somewhere in the middle of November so I think what we are seeing today is a sort of preparation for the upcoming fork maybe developers are preparing the market of bitcoin gold that's why we can see it in some exchanges site. Just in case it happen I don't think the value of bitcoin will be affected

I don't even know that there's another fork going to happen last time I receive 0.0075 bitcoin cash but now I don't have any BTC to earn free money again. But for the pricing of btc it will not affect the price of the current price of BTC cause some will just throw away their btg like what happened in bitcoin cash.

P.S I hope I will received bitcoin to feel the presence of this new coin.

If that is correct that seems like a great opportunity to do some arbitrage between the exchanges, unfortunately I’m not into that kind of thing so I wont be able to take advantage of that opportunity but I’m sure there are any people in the forum that could do it if they have the right tools and knowledge.

Sure that segwit2x is much more anticipated event from the point of view of price-movement. As the market has not reacted on this  bit-gold fork at all.
For those who bought BTC at 6000 willing to get BTG I wish to have patience. Everything will be OK with btc price. That's my bet.

All the way from $480 to $159  :-[

There is no reason this coin will not fix what has to be fixed and will take advantage of the fork hype

I heard it forked two months ago even before the creators even announced it.
I don't believe in this fakeness they pulled thinking they can do what bch did months back in June.

the coin is not released yet. these exchanges only gave their users some promised fake tokens which will only work on their platforms so that you can trade them.

in other words there is no blockchain available for you to buy at one place then transfer the tokens using the BTG network to other exchange to sell. that is why the difference exists!

What did Bitcoin Gold do? Who started using it? Bitcoin Gold emerged as a result of unnecessary division, Bitcoin and Altcoin prices became cluttered. Bitcoin 's reputation has diminished.

Personally, it didn't bother me when the price crashes when the fact that we have it as a free coin so it's not that important.
Maybe I be bothered when I bought that and it crashes that hard, it's kinda disappointing. As I can see there's only a little support that this coin gained and this all just a hype from the whales.
