I was wondering. What is stopping exchanges that don't support the new BTG using your bitcoin and claiming it for them selves, without you ever knowing about it?

Like Bittrex and cryptopia, they didn't support the Bitcoin Gold. But what is stopping them to use your bitcoin to collect bitcoin gold, without you ever knowing?


What is your opinion guys?

It's this simple. If they don't support BTG then BTG users will likely just not use them to store their coins on when the blockchain snapshot is taken. There should be very clear PSAs about the situation, or you shouldn't store funds with them.

Exchanges are free to do wahtever they like, but they need to let the public know beforehand.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Yobit was one of the most honest exchanges during this fork, a lot of exchanges like poloniex, cryptoppia or bittrex are just keeping the bitcoin gold for theirselves, and so many other exchanges did the same during bitcoin cash fork, they just keeped the money.

yeah, it is funny how the worst exchange of all times (being Yobit) is becoming a lot better an much more honest than the biggest exchanges that used to be the most trusted exchanges out there (being Bittrex and how they are stealing their user's funds these days).

i still do not trust Yobit but i have used them for Bitcoin Gold airdrop and i had a very good experience with the whole platform. the support answered me fast, the plan and times were perfectly clear with a nice countdown and they did honor the airdrop right on time. and i dumped BTG at the highest price possible ANYWHERE at 0.19BTC and then withdrew my bitcoin the next day.

Buying the dip...
