Bitcoin Gold doesn't look like convincing enough for me, I think it will be seen better later but tin the real time it is hard to predict, especially I don't support it.

I think that all of the hard forks off of bitcoin are scam coins. They really have nothing to offer and all that they are doing is riding on the back success that bitcoin has made over the years. When investing in hard fork coins you should be very careful how you go about it, in a couple of years a lot of them will end up dying out.

Bitcoin Gold blockchain was recently hit by 51%-attack. Considering that this attack was successful, it can be said that the infrastructure of BTG isn't strong enough. Perhaps, the team would address this flaw in the nearest future.

As for me, bitcoin is a very good coin for long-term investment because in fact bitcoin is backed by demand in the market.

Forking is really shit in the market and we should not care the forking coins else you would find the other coins price and volume goes cheaper than ever. Please do not all that to happen with your move.
For Bitcoin gold side I don't support. Then it is not scam also buddy. Keep invest on top coins to make profit.

This is a difficult question. I know many people who invest in BTG and consider it an undervalued coin.
Problem with wallets and poorly developed infrastructure around it indicates that the team is working poorly or they do not have enough resources.
On the other hand, BTG is traded on many exchanges.
As for me, now I wouldn't say that this is a scam, but treated with caution if you consider BTG as a coin for long-term investment.

I fully agree with the opinion of people that this coin is just a way to make money for its creators. His future is determined, and it's death in a year or a little more. Ask yourself the question of what it was created for and what the community needs. Bitcoin does not need one or the other clones.
Be always careful!

Just remember the Golden rule, "Any coin with name Bitcoin and a suffix to it is a scam". If your coin is really good then you shouldn't need to add Bitcoin to the name.

Perfectly said. Some dont even stop at that, but they try to convince others it is the real bitcoin, we all know which shitcoin tries to do that.
Bitcoin is one and only and wont be surpassed by some fork with bitcoin in its name

Bitcoincash was from an experienced group of people specializing in mining of bitcoin. They were professional.
Seeing the relative sucess of BCH, some high school kid started Bitcoin Gold, They even did mined it alone to gather some before releasing it with new algorithm.
So, yes, they did a huge middle-mine and the coin never actually made any significant profit.

It is not scam, it is a product of last years bitcoin forks season, although recently the devs behind btg have clwimed that they have eliminated most bugs and added more wallet options, personally im not holding any btg so i cannot confirm this, i hope their updated wallet will be working now on your device.

1) I see zero complaint retractions.  Everyone who has reported STOLEN funds is maintaining a public complaint against you.
The FACT that you have 30+ people complaining about your wallet stealing funds shows that you are an incompetent programmer, or more likely that you are STEALING funds from people.

That's understandable as you're not tasked with analyzing the user feedback and outlining the statistics of it. We, on the other side, keep track of all reviews and requests made and follow up on each.

2) Additionally, by claiming that 100% of all reports of stolen funds have been "located" but not "returned" is evidence of a scammer.

If the funds were sent to an incorrect address (because of a typo, for example), to a wrong network (BTC instead of BCC, which used to be a frequent case) or they have been received by the other party (for example, to an exchange account without a payment id), it's possible for us to locate them, but not retrieve, if the destination is unrelated to Freewallet. As you know, transactions that are completed in the blockchain cannot be reversed or altered. However, if the receiving party is known, the sender can contact them and request assistance.

3) Furthermore, the claim that most cases are tracked down to an invalid address is an indication of incompetent programming or a lame excuse from a scammer stealing.

Actually, it's a mere fact showing that the human factor is still an issue.

4) Apple has NOT expressed skepticism, how dare you blame Apple.  The Apple App Store has very many BTC wallet apps.  Apple is not doing anything to stop iOS apps from being created, so THAT IS A LIE, and a weak excuse.   Apple does not personally review and approve or deny every app with a human being.  To suggest that Apple has not approve you, is bullshit.  Perhaps you have been busted for malware and banned however.

Not blaming, just stating a fact. There's still a number of coins we're awaiting Apple's approval on; when Bitcoin Cash was introduced, it took some time by Apple to make a decision about this coin, too.

Freewallet is guilty of lies, and misinformation.
So much so that I now see that Freewallet is indeed malware NOT to be trusted and is stealing coins.

Sad to hear you've got such an impression! However, as Voltaire once said, "I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it."

We always get back to people who claimed their funds were lost because of Freewallet: we were able to locate 100% the funds that were "stolen." We research all complaints about lost funds, and in most cases it's possible to track them down to an invalid address or a different wallet unrelated to Freewallet. The word "most" is used here because there always are cases when people consider their funds "stolen", while in fact a network fee was applied or an exchange rate wasn't as good as expected, etc.

Regarding the Bitcoin Gold wallet for iOS: Apple is known for their skepticism about cryptocurrencies. For example, not all coins & tokens that are available on Android apps are present in AppStore because they weren't approved by Apple. We're planning to add BTG to the list of coins available in our Multi Wallet first; however, it's up to Apple to give the green light on it for the iOS version.

Oгo! Pyccкaя пoддepжкa Freewallet! У мeня вoпpoc! Haвepнoe нe пo мecтy нo вce жe.
Пo cвoeй глyпocти пpи yчacтии в airdrope yкaзaл вaш кoшeлёк. Toкeны пepeвeли, тoлькo вoт вocпoльзoвaтьcя ими видимo нe cмoгy. Boпpoc. Boзмoжнo ли тoкeны пepeвecти в дpyгoй кoшeлёк? Или oни вce, пoтepянны?

Hi anthrax66, we speak English, but understand many languages, thanks to Google Translate Grin Are the tokens you're referring to currently supported in our app? If yes, we'll be able to retrieve them for you promptly. If not, we can still offer you a solution. Your tokens aren't lost either way.

Please contact our in-app support (Settings -> Support -> Message us) and provide the transaction hash: we'll be able to give you more details on your case.

We had Bitcoin Cash, now we have Bitcoin Gold.
The problem is BTG wallets are ONLY for android.

https://bitcoingold.org 's website lists ONLY THREE wallets.
Freewallet looks like a scam, lots of people reporting STOLEN coins with them on reviews for iOS.

The other 2 are Android only.
So BTG has no ability for Apple users, and obviously no infrastructure, so how do I collect my BTG so I can sell this trash alt coin?
