Anyone thinks bitcoin gold will be worth something? I'm doubting ...
Anyway, you will get them for free, so worth of Bitcoin Gold will have no relevance, except you are selling altcoins therefore.

i should shouldn't i, itll just get too hard otherwise....

It won't get much harder. It's really just some extra work you'll have to do to get your BTG out of it as well. I haven't splitted my BTC/BCH yet and I'm not planning to do so any time soon.

I'm not doing it. When I want to spend them, I'll spend them in this order:
1. First move all Bitcoins
2. Import private key into Electron Cash on a Virtual Machine to move Bitcoin Cash
3. Import private key into whateverclient on a Virtual Machine to move Bitcoin Gold
4. Never use that address again, but keep the private key just in case.


If the premining-rumors are true, it could be Bitcoin Gold's snapshot has been taken already. In that case splitting coins now makes no difference.

If I were you I would do it (split them).

BTCG support is not that wide as BCH support was, so we can expect less support from the wallet providers. Which means we most probably going to be using sweep function to get the BTCG from address and for security reasons you should not sweep address with both (all three) coins because in case something goes wrong you could lose both (or all three) coins.

How will it get to hard?
Also, your coins are already split, they're assigned to your private keys you have to do nothign but sign a transaction from them.
If you've kept the BCH until now, why would you want to extract them now? It's the sme difference after the fork as it will be before.
