Is Bitcoin Gold "segwit2x"?

No, "bitcoin gold" is what formerly called itself bitcoinGPU.

Notice the funny little "ICO" part?

Yes, just noticed about it BTCGPU and ICO part, they are intend to use GPU mining, and disabled ASICs in order to decentralize mining industry which is a good point of this hard fork coin. It become uncertain whether people will get free BTG or you should join the ICO presale, LoL Grin

But the point is whether people interested to buy this coin? as most people thought it will be another free coin, the value of BTG will be determined by how much money invested into BTG or just like BCash or Byteball free distribution. Still unclear

Is this another hard fork? Then it is right, just like the last time. I have no information about bitcoingold, what does it have over bitcoin? Why another hard fork?

Guys,

Is Bitcoin Gold "segwit2x"? Why am I hearing dates for October, and November? Are there TWO forks incoming?

In another thread, a person said that there are two, and no one corrected him. Please advise.

Any information to verify this statement.

" Those holding BTC during the fork (from Oct 25th to Nov 1st) will be eligible for free BitcoinGold."

Thanks

Do you remember the previous fork this year when bitcoin split into two and that is BTC and BCH. Those who have a btc on the exchanges have received an equivalent amount of BCH on their balance after the fork. The same thing will happen to the fork , after the fork those who have balance on the exchanges will also receive the same amount of coins in the form of BTC Gold.

Thanks. Could you suggest the best place to hold at the time, if a fork were to occur or do we need to wait until confirmation and announcements upon who will adopt.

Going off the BitcoinCash Fork, only some exchange and wallets were to adopt the fork and issue the new coins.

If this Fork was to be confirmed. Would you agree in saying that, plenty of people will buy bitcoin and be holding BTC leading up to the Fork just to get the equivalent in BitcoinGold. ?

Yes this is true. A fork by definition means you will get the same balance of bitcoin gold in your existing bitcoin addresses.
