Here you can see this thing with the example of the bitcoin cash where everyone got the bitcoin cash who has Thier bitcoin in the adresse containing private key ( in the wallet owner ) . So don't get any tension and be ready to get bitcoin gold .
But here my suggestion for you to get your bitcoin gold simply is to put your bitcoin at the yobit exchange , I know yobit is not a official place by the bitcoin team to put bitcoin but still I would like to recommend you to put thier Because you can see in the past that people got bitcoin cash without any much tension directly and easily to do nothing but at another platform people needed to wait long term and few of them didn't gave yet any amount of bitcoin cash .
