I don't think this is a scam. If people thinks that ICOs and most crypto are scams then perhaps this is the same. The thing is we the crypto community will be the ones deciding its fate. Let us wait and see how their team works.

Theoretically yes, but by doing this you will grant access to whatever wallet you will use to import your private key (to get yout BTGs) to your Bitcoin wallet(compromising it)...not really a smart thing to do. (unless you spend all your BTC to another wallet before doing that).

This sounds like the same technique used to get Bitcoin Cash using a Bitcoin wallet. If I remember correctly there was/is a way to do it (for Bitcoin Cash) using the Electrum wallet (lost the link). Be sure to use the official Electrum wallet and not one of the suspect Electrum-Cash wallets out there.

It is exactly the same method, because it is also a blockchain...Look for the tutorial for claiming you BCH(BCC) and for BTG will be the same. You must have your private key or mnemonic of yout BTC account for which you want to claim.
If you need help for claiming your BCH(BCC) or BTG you can pm me.

i don't think its scam. after financial crisis bitcoin appeared to be independent from banks. now they want to disempower banks from regulation of gold price.
I did not get your point. Can you clarify your statement please.
I also fail to understand your statement, actually bitcoin gold is not a scam,
but we'll see the development of the price later

Bitcoin is antisemitic

All these forks are crap IMO.

But greedy guys will keep forking BTC untill they either kill it or everyone will finally stop hunting free crap

Up to now the more they fork and the more BTC price rises.
And I can make some use of my free forked altcoins. Things may get interesting in a bad sense with the next hostile fork with no replay protection, right after which I expect some correction in BTC price and a new pumping in alts.

Anyone can create a Bitcoin-derived altcoin like "Bitcoin Gold" (BTG) at any time with no cost. BTG is a scammy cash-grab with no ideology and no economic support, not something serious like Bcash was. That's not to say that it's impossible to make money by trading it, just like with other scamcoins, but I'm not going to get into the habit of writing announcements and guidance for every Bitcoin-derived scamcoin. If you want to do a dangerous replay-unprotected coin-split maneuver in order to claim tiny fractions of your BTC in airdrop value, that's on you.

I will write a guide later for B2X (split time in mid-November), which is more serious. After that, the bar is going to be awfully high to get me to announce similar things.
Even tyeymos wrote that Bitcoin Gold fork was a scam and I agree with him. Creating a fork is not a big deal and I'm more than sure, that in coming month, we  will see more forks (Someone already announced Bitcoin Silver) That forks are cash grabing machines, designed just to enrich the creators. As I sad before, crypto world became a holly grail for scammers.

i have to agree with the most is seems to be suspicious yet we  should  leave it for the market to decide and see if it is as profitable as it said to be like bch which was considred a scam at first place and now it has many supportes and is one of the best altcoins0

It's not really that well thought if everyone see's right through it and knows that it's a scam

These make one start to think about the whole foundings of hardware lying beneath the Internet.. should there be some control or mechanism to prevent fraud and support honesty / trust.

Bitcoin Gold may not be a totally scam, but it will not suffer the same situation as Bitcoin Cash, as Bitcoin Cash has so many suppotors and what the dev of Bitcoin Gold have done may be a stain that will affect this coin greatly

During the last hard fork in august,most of bitcoin holders feared that due to hard fork,bitcoin may lose its value and so they wished that fork should not happen.But this time,attitude of most people has changed and they all eagerly await for hard fork even after knowing that BTG would be a shit coin.They just need some free coins at any extent.This attitude is not good for the progress of bitcoin and until people continue to have such attitude,we could expect more hard forks as well as shitcoins in future also.

Let's be honest, we mostly want the free coins so we can sell them for more bitcoin. That's where our heart lies.
