I don't trust in the future of this coin. I think it is a shitcoins, and it created for speculation.
BitcoinGold was created / modified because a technical reason... few people understand...
Bitcoin BTC Blockchain was designed with SHA256 algorithm, developed by the N.S.A.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Hash_Algorithmsit turns out, that China developed ASIC Miners that could Monopolize / Control All the Bitcoin in the Future...
Bitcoin was created with De-Centralized Idea, anything that goes against Decentralization is against the Original idea/purpose of Bitcoin...
https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdfBitcoin has become Centralized,
the Only way to keep Bitcoin Decentralized was to change the Algorithm,
that´s why Litecoin was Born, it was a Mutation of Bitcoin, they replaced the SHA256 algorithm with Scrypt,
but China once again created ASIC Scrypt miners...
New Algorithms were Born, ETHash "Ethereum & Ethereum Classic."
Monero CryptoNight v6, Now will change to v7 this month.
Equihash...
and many many more...
BitcoinGold replaced the SHA256 with Equihash, and a fork was born. "the difference in ideas, how the future should be, similar to Ethereum & Ethereum Classic Fork."
ETClassic is "inmutable", ETH is Mutable,
BTC is "inmutable in some aspects" like the 1MB Block Size limit, and the SHA256 algorithm.
when developers don´t agree in the RoadMap, a Fork is Born.
thats why BitcoinCash was born, to increase the Block Size Limit.
the reason for Equihash was backward compatibility, and easy implementation...
Other coins that have a much more advanced Algorithm are Not compatible, and the Blockchain must Start from 0.
e-Coins behave like Darwinism & Natural Selection created by Mutations of the Code, and Environment Adaptation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwinismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Darwinismto me Bitcoin is the Ford Model-T of this era... and sooner or later it will be replaced, with a much better. LOL .Jajajajajaja
example BTG created its own forum...
