Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is the second branch of Bitcoin (that is, the second version of the Bitcoin Code source) after Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Gold appeared through a HardFork event on October 24, 2017, created at a block of 491,407. It keeps a record of Bitcoin transactions, meaning if you owned a batch of Bitcoin before the split, then you currently own the equal amount of Bitcoin Gold. This coin aims to offer an alternative, less scalable, ASIC-based mining algorithm, allowing users to increase their profits through their computer cycles.
