1. We can mind empty blocks.
2. When the release of Bitcoin Gold blocks will not be empty so many people will send coins to exchanges.

This. Exactly.

With mining, we're verifying transactions when we mine, right?

So, if Bitcoin Gold is new -- exactly what transactions are being made that have to be verified if nobody is making purchases with them?

I'm just trying to get a better understanding of how it works.

BitcoinGold mining will mine transactions blocs, even if these blocs are empty.
This is true for all blockchain mining system.
It is normal if at the begining the blocks are quasi empty, then smaller to store in the blockchain.

ICO? Not even once.

Mining is there to secure the network by advancing the blocks - even if they're empty.
