Of course with investment, if we wait bitcoin prices rise, it seems difficult to get earn quickly, invest or trading then we can get bigger profit and faster, if it is too risky then I suggest to hold in a long time.

Bitcoin has planned for a hard fork on 25th Oct and we will get a new coin Bitcoin Gold. In previous fork lots of people got scammed(by giving away their private key) while trying to get their bitcoin cash. And many was not able to get the forked coin (including me  Grin) .
So how to get the forked coin easily and safely?
I assume that you are included on those people who got scammed signing up on phishing links.That would really be a lesson learn for you. Actually as far as i remember on those previous fork.I do store up my bitcoins on electrum and did wait for the official news or updates on electrum team on how to claim those free BCH which they did give official update and thats only the thing i do follow.

Nope you assumed it totally wrong . I am not that much greedy and I didn't event try to withdraw any BCH still now. I have read several post in this forum about people getting scammed by sharing their privet keys to the third parties . My intention for building this post is to alert those type of people also.

this is very easy, just place your coin on the already famous exchange ,,
you just wait until the exchange launches bitcoingold ..
I did this at a hard fork in August and two days later when the exchange launched bitcoincash I easily can immediately claim the coin without providing a private key ..

All you have to do is to install a desktop wallet or any wallet that you must control your private keys. By doing this you will have BTG (Bitcoin Gold). And the payment here is 1: 1. It means that some bitcoins are placed in your wallet as well as they can be received.

I couldn't find any meaningful information about this fork on their website, their facebook, their twitter or their Slack channel.  And they're a project small enough to have no real information on their website except for links to these pages and their GitHub.

It seems like people are only paying attention to this because it's a fork and any fork makes them think it matters even if it doesn't.

It could well turn out to be a lot better than how they're managing to present themselves, but right now it looks like you'd be better off caring a handful of mud that some idiot says is valuable.

Worry about claiming the coins once it's actually necessary and wallets have started thinking about it.

If you want to get the forked coin then you need a bitcoin which is too obvious and you need a wallet that supports the fork in the next few weeks and just put or deposit your bitcoin there and wait for the day of the fork then after it, just for a few days then you can see your free forked coins and you will be getting bitcoin gold and you easily sell them in exchanges because they are listed as soon as their status is good to go.

It took me a frustratingly long time time with the last BTC fork to claim my BCH and then sell them. I got in early enough luckily (when prices were still in the 700$ range). But this time around, there isnt even a wallet on the horizon that would support it. So lets see - I am a little pessimistic at this stage...

We'll have to see if the major exchanges carry Bitcoin Gold once it is released but the way to get Bitcoin Gold is to hold as much BTC as possible on the date of the hard fork. Keep holding it until August 1st then you will be able cash out your newly minted altcoin.

It's impossible to confirm because the Bitcoin Gold website has been stripped bare, but I'm reading on Twitter that the hard fork has already occurred. Right now, supposedly, the developers are pre-mining the forked chain and are going to "launch" it on October 25th, not fork it on that date.

There really isn't much information available. Their Twitter says that October 25th is still the launch date, so I suspect it's true. Originally, they were planning to do a pre-mine and then offer the pre-mine as an ICO. Now it seems like they are just pre-mining themselves.

It's too early to say. For now, we cannot see the code. There may or may not be replay protection, and that makes a huge difference. With strong replay protection, you can just first move your BTC to fresh addresses (the altcoin will not move because the BTC transactions are invalid to its blockchain). Then you can empty those private keys into the altcoin wallet. If it's a scam to steal your private keys, then you won't lose BTC this way.

If there is not replay protection, it is a lot more tricky. But I think they'll need to add it, otherwise exchanges won't want to add their coin.
