Has this shit crashed yet? Anyone got a list of the exchanges with trading pairs? Any word on POLO? Is Bittrex still the largest exchange it's listed on? Is the chain stable enough for Arbitrage yet?
Bittrex and HitBTC are your best bet, assuming you don't want to trade on Bithumb, which has the largest volume. I have no idea why the Koreans like this coin, but their exchange volume is 5 times Bittrex just on Bithumb.
Bitthumb is the biggest musical chairs game iv'e seen it is all P&D they don't care if it has value or not only if it has hype.
HitBTC is scam exchange so beware.
My humble reasoning for BTG being a good long term investment.
I know most people on this thread are hating on BTG and I agree mostly. However.
1) As far as the pre-mine of coins that everyone hates - it's much like an ICO only nobody has to invest/risk any capital. With ICOs the development team can walk away with all your money just like this project. Yes there were a couple of pre-school mishaps like releasing a wallet with a virus on it and having their git-hub page hacked. That's probably the hardest thing for me to accept. Anyways, many successful projects were ridden with skeptics and foolish mistakes.
a) Nobody came forward as the creator of Bitcoin
b) Many people hated the first Bitcoin Fork
c) Creator of Dash mined a million coins for themselves before letting others mine.
d) Status ICO crashed Ethereum Network and possible raised too much money. I bought during ICO and everyone was so pissed saying worst ICO in history. They have been doing a great job from the start. It's a pretty large complex project.
e) Ethereum has kind of a Steve Jobs vibe. If this genius kid kicks the bucket it could send some shock waves.
PLUS
2) Isn't anyone excited about Bitcoin being decentralized again? Just like Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned. Why aren't Bitcoin purists jumping on board with this project? Taking power away from Bitmain - having lots more small time miners supporting the network all over the world. I get there are other good GPU hashing projects like Monero and Z-Cash. This is the only GPU mining coin with the BITCOIN name. I'm sure people that mine Bitcoin think this is crap but I bet you once this baby is up a running people are going to soak it up all over the world. Especially Japan and Korea.
Am I crazy?
Well when you have exchanges that hold massive amount of btc funds that they can use for free because they didn't distribute it then that is a market that is ripe for manipulation and Polo has become extremely shady and IMO has been usung customers funds for Arb without their knowledge.
