Bitcoin Gold, Price Speculation

[coleman268]

You would probably make more from buying all the altcoins on the dip right now than you'd make from the $400~/btc bitcoin gold will give you.

[Onika84]

will we get free Bitcoin Gold as amount BTC on poloniex , like BCH before ?

I am not sure, maybe they will keep bitcoin gold like BCH before, and release it 14 days after this. Still waiting from bitcointalk forum related this issue, and I hope there is valid news about how and when this moment will happen.

Noone will know the price when it comes out. My guess is it's going to be about a quarter of the price of one Bitcoin, maybe less. From there it's going to be up to the community whether the price rises or falls. From what I hear, I think the price won't that high. One can never be too sure about anything in the crypto space.

[Black Angel]

Usual, early is a good time to buy because I'm sure it will be the same as bitcoin cash that had reached 0.3 btc but now drop to 0.08 btc. I will buy as much as possible at the beginning of time when it is available in the exchanger and will sell 2 weeks later.

[vit05]

Nobody will buy that coin. The price would be less than 1 satoshi. Bitcoin Cash has some support of bit whales and miners. Bitcoin GOld nobody cares about.

And bitcoin 2x will only exist for a long time if Bitcon Core is destroyed.

[LodisMcguire]

It will depend on the support for BTC gold,i think it will be like BCH but lower
If the feature exceed the rest of all coin,maybe BTC Gold has a chance to going big

I've already written it in another thread, also not confirmed...but this seems fishy if true

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7551nd/bitcoin_gold_fork_had_happened_a_week_ago_and_the/

Considering their official website has NO info right now, i went ahead and checked an archive:
http://web.archive.org/web/20170915035211/http://btcgpu.org/
According to the archive (barely legible English):
BTCGPU will create 16000 blocks after forked from No 478558th Blcock. every block 12.5 BTG. it will be sold to ico investor. 1BTC=10BTG.
We are currently on 488973 block for BTC right now...so the fork has already happened? And now they are in the process of adding a pre-mine of 16,000 blocks to the end of the chain (200,000 bitcoin gold in total)?
Either that or they have changed the block number for the fork? Who know's because there is no info. Personally Seems like a big scam to me.

Does that mean whoever held bitcoin a week ago will get bitcoin gold? And all the hoarders buying into bitcoin right now are gonna get burned?

If they actually stick to what the website used to say, then yes - the fork happened a while ago. However who knows anymore, there is zero info.
It's possible they moved the block number but as I keep saying, there's no info so we just don't know.
What I do know is this:
Before they cleared the website of all info, it looked like something that anyone could whip up in twenty minutes.
The English on the website was nonsensical and riddled with spelling and grammatical errors.
There is a premine of 16,000 blocks which they are appending to the blockchain of their fork, which is 200,000 bitcoin gold coins.
We now have no official information other than the date "25/10/2017" on their website.
Everyone is moving money into Bitcoin to gain a quick buck - like what happened with bitcoin cash. Personally I'm steering clear as the entire thing does not sit well with me. Good luck to all.

I think the price will pump and dump like BCH.
My speculation is $200 to $700.
I will sell at ceiling rates 

[satorusaito]

I guess it's about $ 500.

I think it will go down.

[kryptqnick]

I guess bitcoin cash started a bad tradition of making forks of btc for various purposes. Segwit 2x, bitcoin gold, bitcoin unlimited... Yet I think that nothing will come closer to btc than bitcoin cash. Others will be even less popular, even though they might have good ideas behind them (like that of bitcoin gold which is to let small miners earn money). What I don't like about these projects is that they are a threat to btc's normal functioning, because the addresses are the same and people send btc to btc cash wallets accidentally already.

A couple of points:
1. Now they are saying no mid-chain premine - https://moneymorning.com/2017/10/06/the-bitcoin-gold-hard-fork-explained/

2. Mining this chain will be more decentralized than the main chain. Particularly once ethereum switches to POS due to it being,

3. GPU minable.

To me it seems like a better fork than BCH (didn’t buy any BCH) since it is wide open to GPU miners vs requiring ASICs.

[LinKxFr]

I also trust this fork, let's see how it goes :-)

[cr1776]

IF there is replay protection, no mid-chain pre-mine etc, essentially a clean fork at some block but with a new mining algorithm, then this is a nice backup of Bitcoin and a good test so that if mining becomes too centralized or under attack from a government that controls miners for example, it provides a codebase that could do another hard fork to break the control log jam quite quickly.

[Walker0118]

BitcoinGold Will not hit the same price as bitcoinCash.
All the good thing happen once. It Will be max 500 dollar
After the dump like 180 dollar

[aceptamosbitcoin]

I don't think BTCG will replicate the BCH success.

In my eyes, Bitcoin Gold is just a more sophisticated copycat attempt somebody to make some money from hype. Like all those e-tokens after the first eBTC.

[BitcoinPicasso]

Why does everybody thinking bitcoin gold will be worth more? I honestly think it will be worth less because this will be the 2nd fork of this year and not even the last. I really hope I am wrong on my initial analysis and that

it does moon harder than bitcoin cash.

I agree with this assessment. Bitcoin  gold will trade for less that BCH and will not pump to 1200 like BCH did. My prediction is it pumps to 800-900 range then falls to prices below BCH.

[AntCoin_dev]

Maybe same as BCH, BTC never die. Hold your BTC.

[5ensei]

It will just be a copycat of bitcoin cash but just like all copycat coins they will just get dumped after people realise that it has no real value. Better to get cheap good altcoins which will rise over time.

[go4crypto]

I think BCG is likely to be lower priced than BCH on its debut. Probably will
be in range somewhere between $200 - $400.  Will be selling on any pump.

[muvie]

Depends on if there is limited supply in the beginning.

Look at BitcoinCash. Was only listed at Trex and deposits were not possible. So there were many people who wanted to buy and a limited offer of EBCH. So price rose heavily.
