Bitcoin GOLD - A well thought Scam?

[bitkanu]

It's not even a well thought out scam.  If it was well thought out they would have a nice web site, a real whitepaper, and some well known backers, and at least try to portray a larger dev team.

This seems to be another junk coin, well a lot of people are saying about bitcoin gold in these days that will generate from the bitcoin fork, is this related to that? or just another altcoin and you can mining it use gpu.

[DannaWond]

even other coins before was like a scam, it will depend if people will use that coin and if demand will be high.

It does not matter scam or not. For me it's just free money. I'll sell it all right after the hardfork. As we can see bitcoin cash is scam too, but this fact did not stop to make money with it.

Haha .. I totally agree. But why you need all that when you are child of Father of all Crypto's? They are just saving more money to themselves to avoid all that. Eventually they will just dump everything onto Poor buyers and keep on mining this Shit coin by using all the Ethereum farms when Eth fork later this year or next year from POW to POS!

Nope I don't think its scam since its free and the people will dictate on this on what would the fate goes for the bitcoin gold and if people selects to hold it then this alt will earn a good future but if people would do a receive dump schemes then this coin will be sorry. But we should be careful since might there are some manipulators that will manipulate it and we will be trap at the peak price if we buy immediately.

There is no replay protection. If you decide to go ahead and sell your 'free bitgold coins, there is a chance that you will lose your Bitcoins too. It is a scam because the people behind the coin have been dishonest and aim to profit from it.

My stand is this; the negative vibes of folk and bad reputation of the scam artist behind bitcoin gold is putting everybody investment in bad light. And the security risk of this folk is unnecessary . I am selling all my bitcoin. I will come back after the folk if it is successful that is.

Thank you PO for this info, and all thanks to the Reddit user who did all this research. To be honest I like it when all these forks start making all those who were against BCH start singing praises for bch. BTG sounded like a scam from the beginning. I remember watching a video about it on YouTube last month, as soon as I heard premine, my antennas raised high. We all need to exercise precaution, getting a few coins is not worth risking our portfolios in the end.

Well probably this is a really scam, and personally I'm not interesting in this anymore. Howewer we can be wrong and it's not scam need more research.

even if it's a scam or not i don't care I just want that free coin and then I will sale it.
And I'm sure you will do it too

If majority think this is a scam and want free cash, this will be a huge dump and not a lot of free cash...

A lot of the guys were having similar opinion even before the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) fork. But what happened when the coin started trading? There was a huge pump instead of a dump. In exchanges such as YoBit and Bittrex, the exchange reached BTC0.30 per coin after a few hours of its listing, eventually settling at around BTC0.15 per coin.

i just hope the replay protection it's not implemented at all or quick enough so i can buy 1 bitcoin plus 1 bitcoingold at the price of.... you guess it 1 bitcoingold )

just exploit the security issue and get rich!

PS don't spread the word!

[Wilks]

Seems scammy to me. Is replay protection not confirmed?

[kimamaxgreen]

We'll see how it goes. Sometimes it's the market that decides for the success of such coin. For the meantime, let us see what we can gain from this one.

NO2X !!

So will everyone else.  You might make $1 for every few thousand you have in Bitcoin.  Hope you don't lose Bitcoin to replay attacks.  Can you imagine what happens if people do lose Bitcoin?

[adam1230]

not all has to be scam , be carefull

 

[Cranidos]

I don't really care whether this BTG is a scam or not. But there is something I am gonna do about it and that is not supporting it at all. I won't even trade it and I have more important things to do than waste my time on this another alt. I'd rather spend all my time with btc and eth and some other promising alts than this new one. Let's see what will happen to BTG soon as it is distributed. I think more people will dump it.
