As the title says, would you claim your BTG or you would pass? I hear many bad stuff about it and the possibility that you could lose your btc.

Bitcoin Gold has recently appeared, and many people involved into crypto are really disappointed with it. BTG is decreasing, and people do not see any sense in fork.
They suppose Segwit2x is a reckless initiative, which is likely to cause chaos and even damage the Bitcoin system and the rate of this currency.

I think its not worth at least right now. It is too cheap if you have low amount of btc and its wallet isn't good as people say.

Where would you claim BTG? There is no wallet available. If you have heard bad stuff and that you could lose your BTC why didn't you ask those people why it is bad? I am sure they have answers, and you can also update this topic with their answers  |

Instead of paying attention to hearing all the bad stuff about losing your Bitcoin, learn about keeping your coins secure and you never need to worry about things like that. Whether or not BTG is worth it will have nothing to do about losing your bitcoins. If you don't know how to claim them, make sure you do. Read the official websites, get the guides and follow them. If they're not out yet or you're not sure. Just wait until you are.
They will be worth something for sure. Even if only 1% of Bitcoin price, that's still more than 70 dollars per BTG. Worth it? Sounds so to me.

If you had any BTC on yobit during the BTG split you could have the same amount in your BTG wallet on yobit. If they don't even have a secure wallet then better to stay away, Also you need to spend your BTG soon after you transfer your bitcoins otherwise someone could easily spend them. I don't know why did they split at all if they are not man enough to create a safe environment for bitcoin holders to claim their BTG coins.

A lot of people sells alt to go with BTG fork. You'd gain like 5% at launch, but a lot of alt go up by 15%. Always move different from the herd, it's the only way you can see if your smart or not.

there is not much of a trouble. many have already claimed their BTG by depositing BTC in exchanges before the snapshot was taken and have already received their tokens. and claiming it doesn't seem to be that hard either. i hear there is a bounty for someone to create an electrum version for BTG. if they complete it in time, then it will be like a piece of cake to claim the tokens. as for losing bitcoin, it was because of the risk about replay attacks but since BTG now has replay protection the risk is not an issue anymore. you just have to be careful to download the right thing not an impostor. |

In my opinion not worth it yet.
As I'm not going to claim a coin that doesn't even have a desktop wallet.
I don't want to risk my private key for a coin that is worth $150, I know that sounds strange but you should see it in perspective.
One Bitcoin worth $7500 before the fork got you an extra $150 after the fork but do you really want to risk $7500 for a small increase of 2%, that seems to be the daily routine? Or if you have 0.1 BTC, are you willing to risk $750 for 15 bucks? I don't.

Just claim it and sell it right away, this way you'll get some money for your efforts and you get rid of Bitcoin Gold, a pure scam coin. I really don't see the price of this shitcoin increasing much over time, it's useless with no real use.

Well i dont think so that it is worth it as bitcoin gold don't worth much.Bitcoin gold will have the pretty much the same faith as bitcoin cash.And if the there is possibility to lose your bitcoins then i would definitely not risk for merely 2% of bitcoin gold.Bitcoin gold has no real use and is pretty useless and would loss it's value with time.

I am sure they have answers, and you can also update this topic with their answers If you take the correct precautionery steps then you wont lose your btc, just like BCH claim procedure if you first transfer your bitcoins to another wallet and then claim the BTG from the wallet which it was holding bitcoins on the fork time that is enough. This way you wont lose any btc even if the BTG wallet is scam or virus affected. |

Right now the price of BTG is hovering around $160 so currently that's about 2.1% of the current price of bitcoin. For me atleast that's certainly not worth the trouble, not to mention all the big hodlers who are holding a lot of bitcoin in their cold storage wallets. I did have some bitcoin at an exchange when the fork occured so I'm still waiting for that amount to credit and I will be selling that but I won't even bother for the remainder of my holdings.

there is no general answer for this question because it depends on how much BTG we are talking about! you may have dust in your wallet that doesn't even cover transaction fees or the exchange withdrawal fees, and these days some of the exchanges charge a lot for withdrawal!
but if you have a decent amount that can cover these costs then don't doubt it for a second to get your BTG.
selling it or not is another question though. BTG is already dumped and it may go lower some more but there are pumps on the way to bring it back to ATH so you may want to not-sell all your BTG and keep some.

200,000 MINED PRE coins @ $500 USD, that be $100 Million USD not bad for one chinese guy paying a couple dumb white fucks penny's. The Chinese are raking in on these ICO's pure & simple. Worth your trouble? Probably the dumbest of all are the little sheep with 0.05 total BTC wealth hoping for their free BTG. Toss in the fact there are 1,000's of BTC spawn ICO's, and largely the same ppl doing same shit Over&oOver Say again? Trouble for whom? Only the bag holder |

So far of what I had been reading from peoples statements about BTG, I can understand. They made a coin with no point, they made it only for the rich, you and me with harldy any bitcoins will be able to benefit from it. It was make on the sole purpose of greedy developers, and this is why it failed and hopefully truly fail, it did not have a healthy start, even if it gets the replay protection.

Bitcoin society knows which one is which, so I don't think people will be confused on supporting the correct bitcoin despite plenty of hard/soft forks. Making a fork doesn't mean that the forked one is better than bitcoin. Thus, the real one will keep dominating the market as it always do. |
