I like the idea of Bitcoin Gold. I don't like the equihash decision. I think they should have gone with multiple algorithms to allow for many types of hardware to mine the coin. Hopefully equihash is just the first of many algorithms to be supported.Also, Bitcoin Gold must turn its focus to privacy and security.
Right now Bitcoin suffers from slow transaction times, and large block chain (150GB atm). Unless addressed, these problems will only grow.

The issue is that profits from mining new bitcoins is continuously decreasing (and will reach 0 in 2140, when all bitcoins have been mined), while cost of mining is increasing. So to keep miners mining (because without miners the whole system breaks down), they need to be paid somehow otherwise. This is where transaction fees come in, but it's in my humble opinion also the most problematic part (next to lack of scalability) of bitcoin. The more you pay, the faster your transaction will be processed, the less you pay the slower (or possibly never if you are unlucky) is your payment processed. This means for your payments to be timely processed, you'll have to pay a sizeable amount of transaction fees, as you don't have a guaranteed transaction time, but have to pay for it. Just imagine you: timely pay your rent, but don't pay a high transaction fee (possibly because you simply can't afford it) and get thrown out of your appartment, because the transaction was simply not processed (or not fast enough) because of it and you not willing (or able) to pay a premium for fast processing. So in a very problematic situation you might be forced to offer transaction fees, that would make the interest of a loan shark look like a good deal, just to make your payment work.

Mining requires a lot of energy to make it so there is a physical cost regardless of the currency used, so that it costs more to attack the chain than it does to help ensure it is working well.

I agree, beside that, In fiat currency, the government can create more money because they 'just said so', but in crypto-currency's designed as Bitcoin is, you can't create more money like that, because the system has an upper limit. In a fiat currency, you have notes and coins in your pocket, and numbers on a computer in a bank. If the government wanted to, they can create more coins, notes and numbers, which would have the effect of magically taking value away from your pockets. In a currency like Bitcoin, this can never happen, because more cannot be manufactured. This is why we say "Bitcoins are mined" instead of "Bitcoins are minted", because the Bitcoins already exist, they just need to be secured. But coins and notes don't already exist, and they are manufactured by decree using standard materials that are abundant throughout the planet.

Bitcoin is in no way fiat as no government has decreed it to be money. Rather, its role as money and value is being determined by the market, by people voluntarily exchanging their work or fiat currency for bitcoins. The big difference between bitcoins and dollars is that bitcoins are a scarce electronic commodity.

Buying and selling through the Bitcoin ATMs typically it's not cheap. Most ATMs are sitting at between 6-8%. You end up paying for the convenience and anonymity. Online exchanges are cheaper by a long shot, it just depends if you want to upload your ID and personal information.If you want to buy a Bitcoin ATM you can find it online cost between $3000 and $9000.

I tried different ones, but the best exchanges in my opinion is Poloniex, Bittrex and Kraken. in terms of ease of trading, the platforms is very easy to use, variety of coins and even customer service.

Day trading is very risky  if you don't have experience in technical analysis. Personally, I am holding 90 percent for a long term  to avoid Panic Selling. I suggest to hold the TOP coinmarketcap coins.

Honestly, I still hold it but i think BCH will not challenge BTC because transaction times have been an issue and also cost per transaction. BCH futures coin will only be used to facilitate large storage of value. Not as cash. No chance. Now BCH are just like all the other coins, only difference being BCH will still have large transaction fees. I could be wrong, I may have missed something, one thing that does puzzle me is the 8MB block size, wouldn't this make it worse than Bitcoin in terms of centralisation, it's just my opinion from what I have read and heard.

The trust model in bitcoin is different. I know that the system is not subject to the whims of an elite (or less so than with fiat money anyway) relative to the money supply. The only trust I must is derived from the size of the bitcoin economy. It's tiny right now, compared to the USD for instance. But it's growing everyday, and with it my trust of it. Already bitcoin is more trust worthy than a couple national currencies and I don't see this trend stopping. It's unfair to compare bitcoin to the USD (the most successful currency in the history of humanity). What I'm pointing out is that bitcoin as the potential to overthrow that. By being border less, bitcoin has the potential to be supported be the biggest economy in the world. National currencies are artificially contrived to their borders (not entirely but very much so).

Saying that bitcoins get their value from CPU cycles is the same as saying that US coins get their value from the force applied by the press during the minting process. Or that gold gets it's value from every cycles that the mining equipment go through. You've already acknowledged that currency gets value from trust in the overall economy. I have trouble following your argument.

There is no trust relationship between me and the bitcoin network. My trust comes from an understanding of the programming/math behind bitcoin. I don't have to put my trust in an individual or an institution, like the government for instance. My trust in the currency (not the network) is based on the size of the economy. If there were only two people trading bitcoins, I wouldn't trust it. If there's 2 billion people trading, I'll trust it a lot.

Well, If you haven't notice so far, The Hard Fork plan that was laid for Bitcoin and all the fuss that was going around the topic, has proved that there are alot of things that been hidden in the dark now coming to light, No matter what you think Bitcoin is, Unfortunately, Only the early miners and the hard investors today are the ones whom are really dominating this Currency, and by the time we manage to wake people up to the power and importance of Bitcoin, It would be already too late, for the Bankers and elites would already be Taken over this section as well if not already, not by Regulating it, or shutting it down, but by accumulating as much and what is left from the Available amount of total bitcoin supply, and day by day now, we're seeing banks are switching into bitcoin with bheavy investments and even governments has mining special houses. whatever BS that these so called "Elites" in this 2017 conference, it's just nonsense to let us think that they are on the Losing side and are trying to save themselves, and that we "The People" are winning and taking over our financial freedom back again.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are very volatile right now, The elites that control the global banking system and governments will never let crypto become a thing unless they have total control over., they might get banned in some countries, but I think they will never go away, So recognize Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency Must accept the Philosophy of the new technology of blockchain. I blieve a lot of democratic countries need to take the opportunity first.

I certainly not disagree with your opinion, to be fair I am almost only holding my coins but reading the news its the important thing to keep you informed what's happening on the market.

I agree with you, uncertainty regarding the future outcomes is the biggest reason for not holding the coins, The most losses of investors of gains is investing on scams coins or selling too early on promising projects, Then boom, out of a sudden news leak on reddit and the price hikes basically overnight. Since you cannot time these it can be a good strategy to simply say "find a coin you believe in and just hold it for at least several months - it may not go up immediately, but in the long run you will be happy".

Online wallets are are unsafe for a large amount of Bitcoin. The best cold storage is hardware wallets. Most of my holdings are easily traced since it came almost entirely from coinbase.

Thank You Sir,

I am glad to work with you 

Actually it isn't judging by the fact that this currency is still holding strong after countries like China or South Korea put regulations on ICO's. This shows that many people actually do use this currency like the average person would use USD.

If i don't have time to sell coin, i just hold it, because every coin will pump again. No one can say how long i should hold my coin, because it vary from pump to pump. I use my personal inuition and knowledge.

My TRADING TIPS :
Cryptocurrencies is the game of the patience, small profit never kill. Sell when you got profit.
- DO NOT GO ALL IN AT ONCE
- DO NOT BUY AT MARKET PRICE
- Set your buy in price 3-5% below moment price
- Use 15-20% of the total investment you want to make at the beginning
- Remembers use stop loss when you see market look to unstable
- Just invest in 3-4 coins.

Bitcoin gold probably the swankiest name of all the bitcoins, is being led by someone named Jack liao Li, he's the head and the CEO of a cryptic mining company in Hong Kong, it appears as of now Bitcoin gold will launch October 25th the same as i think that we saw with Bitcoin cash it launched about five or six days earlier. It will be put on two exchanges around the world on November.
