What is bitcoin gold (BTG)

Recommended Posts

Bitcoin Gold is another of the forks of the original bitcoin chain. For this reason, it is a very similar cryptocurrency with almost identical elements, Bitcoin Gold is a direct fork of the original bitcoin chain, therefore it has almost identical characteristics. It is a decentralized digital currency, but it adopts a new mining scheme that benefits older users of BTC. It was born due to the difficulty and high costs related to bitcoin mining, which in principle was a much simpler and cheaper cryptocurrency to mine. The leading cryptocurrency started out as a simple option to mine, as the process could be carried out with a moderately powerful processor or graphics card. Then, the difficulty in solving cryptographic problems through the PoW (proof of work) scheme opened the urgent need to mine through specialized and especially expensive equipment (ASICs). Bitcoin Gold "re-decentralizes mining by adopting a new proof-of-work algorithm: equihash-BTG." Unlike bitcoin's SHA-256, this algorithm cannot be run on ASICs. Instead, it gives enthusiasts a chance to get back to mining using their graphics cards (GPUs). Like BTC, bitcoin gold (denoted by the acronym BTG) is a cryptocurrency ideally designed for P2P transactions. It was released on November 12, 2017, and hasn't had much exposure since. Being a community-driven cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Gold has a multi-cultural team. Its co-founders span a wide spectrum of countries: Jack Liao (China); Robert Kuhne (USA); Alejandro Regojo (Spain); Martin Kuvandzhiev (Bulgaria); Franco Niebles (Colombia). The work team behind bitcoin gold is made up of professionals in the fields of cryptocurrencies and technology, but they are not recognized figures in the industry. Rather, they are participants in the development of the original bitcoin, who decided to create an alternative chain.

What is Bitcoin Gold?
Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is one of the newest Bitcoin products to appear in October 2017. Bitcoin Gold users can start creating blocks with a new proof-of-work algorithm, at a predefined block height.


The Purpose of Forming Bitcoin Gold
The main purpose of forming Bitcoin Gold is to create new decentralized blocks for miners around the world. Please note that mining on Bitcoin (BTC) is already very difficult to do on a low budget. This happens because almost all SHA 256 mining has been controlled by large Bitcoin mining companies using super sophisticated ASIC tools.

Bitcoin gold is a currency that belongs to the BTC core blockchain. There are different forks that we already know that are Bitcoin Cash and this is Bitcoin Gold, how are they different? In the price relationship that they have with Bitcoin that can be 1: 1 and 1:10 as mentioned by a colleague previously.

 

Personally, I'm not a big fan and I'd rather go for Daddy Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is a new kind of cryptocurrency that came about as a result of a Bitcoin hard fork and is aimed to be more decentralized than Bitcoin. BTG was founded in 2017 by Jack Liao, who was CEO of the mining software company Lightning ASIC, headquartered in Hong Kong. ... Crypto assets are a high-risk investment.

I know very well about BTG its a complete ecosystem 

BTG is a cryptocurrency with Bitcoin fundamentals, mined on common GPUs instead of specialty ASICs.

ASICs tend to monopolize mining to a few big players, but GPU mining means anyone can mine again - restoring decentralization and independence. GPU mining rewards go to individuals worldwide, instead of mostly to ASIC warehouse owners, recreating network effects that Bitcoin used to have.

 

how this ecosystem design share below

Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is a cryptocurrency. It is a hard fork of Bitcoin, the open source cryptocurrency. It is an open source, decentralized digital currency without a central bank or intermediary that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer Bitcoin Gold network. While Bitcoin Cash was designed to resolve Bitcoin's capacity crunch with larger blocks, Bitcoin Gold aims to tackle another of Bitcoin's perceived flaws: the increasing centralization of the mining industry that verifies and secures Bitcoin transactions.

Bitcoin Gold is the same crypto as Bitcoin Cash. Both of them seem hopeless to me, I do not advise investing.

Bitcoin Gold Price

$7.69

 

By the price you can tell that this is a small coin developed by BTC creators that are probably aiming for pumps .
The bad thing is that During the attack, 388,000 BTG (worth approximately $18 million USD) was stolen from several cryptocurrency exchanges.

SO the coin is just dead right now

I do not know that currency, but any token that has as its initial name the same token of a large currency such as bitcoin, only seeks to attract people, to bring marketing, in any case the best thing is that you ivestigue sun little on the internet and so you yourself get your Conclusions, but above that I can tell you that it must be some currency where you only want it to inflate so that those who entered first can make a profit and those who enter later are left without sada, greetings

I have heard about it, one of the bitcoin's divisions, but which are totally independent at the same time, I think its creation was kind of a "social media movement" due to that its motto it's; "Make the bitcoin decentralized again" and its initial price was in fact very high, it almost reaches the 500$ but after the first weeks it started to fall and fall, so, in nowadays its prices it's a little more than 7$, but I personally don't see it like a good investment choice at all. However, it's in the position 80# of the crpytocurrencies ranked on coinmarketcap, isn't a bad score, but it may die/disappear in any moment to be honest :/.

Hello. Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is a hard fork (derivation) of Bitcoin, that allows you to mine Bitcoin Gold with GPU (computer graphics card). BTG implements a new algorithm, Equihash, that makes mining decentralized. The goal of Bitcoin Gold is to create a network where anyone can become a miner with only basic hardware. As a result, Bitcoin Gold mining would be spread among many miners, instead of a few large companies. Bitcoin Gold is currently ranked 70th in the CoinMarketCap. Regards.

It is supposed to be the Golden version of bitcoin. It is a hard fork of bitcoin, and because you can mine it with a normal GPU it is more decentralized instead of the "centralized" mining of bitcoin

Bitcoin Gold(BTG) is hard fork of Bitcoin, launched in 2017. The same supply and more user-friendly than Bitcoin. 

No Bitcoin Fork could reach close to BTC price yet. BTG can be mined in GPUs where you can repeat mining.

One of the most important features that distinguishes Bitcoin Gold from Bitcoin is its purpose. Its aim is to be a more reliable and perfect cryptocurrency than Bitcoin. Entering the market for this purpose, Bitcoin Gold is designed to be very resistant to miner devices called ASICs. Gold uses PoW algorithm and Equihash algorithm. All algorithms used by BTG are known for being resistant to ASICs and being available in Zcash. The purpose of this main and structural change need is to provide Bitcoin mining with CPU and GPU instead of paid apps as in the early days.

    • Forex and Cryptocurrency Forecast for 20 – 24 May 2024 EUR/USD: Weak Inflation = Weak USD     The American currency suffered two significant blows last week. Although these were not knockdowns, let alone knockouts, these minor shocks pushed the DXY Dollar Index down from 105.26 to 104.20 points, and EUR/USD up from 1.0766 to 1.0895.   The first blow came on Tuesday, 14 May, from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Surprisingly, after his comments, the dollar should have strengthened, but instead, it faltered. Powell stated that the regulator's monetary policy is currently tight enough to eventually reduce inflation. However, he also mentioned that the Fed is not confident that inflation is rapidly decreasing and that it may take more time to reach the target level of 2.0%. One could conclude from this that the regulator is not planning to either raise or lower the interest rate.   The dollar's weakening at this moment is even more peculiar because Powell's comments were made against the backdrop of strong data on the US Producer Price Index (PPI), indicating industrial inflation growth. In April, this indicator increased by +0.5% on a monthly basis after falling by -0.1% in March (forecast +0.3%). The core index, excluding food and energy, showed growth from 2.1% to 2.4% (y/y).   We can only explain the dollar's decline in this situation with one reason. Market participants were possibly expecting that the Fed Chairman would at least hint that if inflation rises, they need to consider another rate hike. But since he did not say this, disappointment ensued.   What happened the next day seemed 100% logical. The report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Wednesday, 15 May, showed that the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell from 0.4% to 0.3% (m/m) against a forecast of 0.4%. On an annual basis, inflation also dropped from 3.5% to 3.4%. Retail sales showed an even stronger decline, from 0.6% to 0.0% on a monthly basis (forecast 0.4%). These data indicated that although inflation in the country is resisting in some areas, it is generally declining.   As a result, talks about a possible Fed rate cut this year resurfaced. "These are the first weaker CPI data that the central bank [US] needs to lower rates this year," said Jason Pride, Glenmede's Director of Investment Strategy and Analysis. The likelihood that the rate will remain unchanged until the end of 2024 fell from 35% to 25%, according to the CME's FedWatch Tool. As a result, the DXY continued to fall, and the EUR/USD pair rose. Stock markets rallied, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching record levels. There were 43 new 52-week highs and no new lows in the S&P 500, while the Nasdaq had 153 highs and 25 lows.   The dollar's weakening was halted by comments from Fed representatives at the end of the week. Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) President Neel Kashkari stated that he is not confident that the current "tight monetary policy is having a dominant effect on inflation, so interest rates need to be maintained." New York FRB President John Williams said that one positive inflation report is not enough to neutralize the negative impact of the previous two, so it's not yet time to expect the Fed to start lowering rates soon.   As for the common European currency, Reuters writes that it is resisting a fall to parity with the dollar (1:1) due to a favourable economic backdrop and the monetary measures of the European Central Bank (ECB). The six-month low for EUR/USD was recorded on 16 April at 1.0600, against the backdrop of the Eurozone's fragile economy and in sharp contrast with the stable US economy. But gradually, business activity in Europe began to recover, and according to the April report, it grew even faster than on the other side of the Atlantic. This contributed to the positive dynamics of the euro. Reuters experts noted that the gap between economic indicators in Europe and the US is narrowing, providing some support to the euro.   EUR/USD closed the week at 1.0868. As for the analysts' forecast for the near future, as of the evening of 17 May, the majority (65%) expect the dollar to strengthen, 20% foresee further weakening, and the remaining 15% took a neutral stance. All trend indicators and oscillators on D1 are 100% coloured green, with a quarter of them signalling that the pair is overbought. The nearest support for the pair is located in the zones of 1.0815-1.0835, then 1.0710-1.0725, 1.0665-1.0680, 1.0600-1.0620, 1.0560, 1.0495-1.0515, 1.0450, 1.0375, 1.0255, 1.0130, 1.0000. Resistance zones are found at 1.0880-1.0915, 1.0965-1.0980, 1.1015, 1.1050, and 1.1100-1.1140.   The schedule of the most important events for next week is as follows. On Tuesday, 21 May, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is scheduled to speak. On Wednesday, 22 May, the publication of the minutes from the last FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting of the US Fed is of particular interest. The next day, as usual, we will learn about the number of initial jobless claims in the US, as well as receive preliminary data on business activity (PPI) in Germany, the Eurozone, and the United States. At the very end of the workweek, on Friday, 24 May, we will learn the GDP data of Germany for Q1 2024.   CRYPTOCURRENCIES: Weak USD = Strong BTC   "A week of reflection and uncertainty": this is how we described the previous review. On Wednesday, 15 May, this uncertainty was resolved in favour of the crypto market. As often happens, the reason for this was the Fed's monetary policy. The released inflation data in the US influenced market expectations regarding a rate cut. As a result, the American currency weakened, the DXY index went down, and investors' risk appetites increased. Stock indices reached historical highs, with the daily gain for BTC/USD exceeding 8%. ETH/USD also rose by 4.5%. However, this is not yet the long-awaited Bull Rally, and it is quite possible that once the situation with the dollar calms down, the growth of bitcoin and leading altcoins will cease. At least, this is the scenario many crypto market specialists predict.   According to Capriole Investment founder Charles Edwards, bitcoin is in a "deathly boring" stage. He believes that the current consolidation period may last from one to six months, during which the quotes will remain in a low-volatility range. This will continue until traders lose patience.   Sentiment will be most negative just before the end of the flat period, Edwards believes. "When you get tired of the sideways movement, common symptoms will include thoughts that the halving is already priced in and the bull market is over. […] Your symptoms and shorts will peak just before the mega-rally," predicts the head of Capriole Investment.   Galaxy Digital head Mike Novogratz also spoke about the consolidation of the crypto market, whose growth dried up three months after the launch of spot BTC-ETFs. In his opinion, until new circumstances or events lead to growth, the first cryptocurrency will trade in the range of $55,000 to $75,000.   Analyst Rekt Capital expressed a similar point of view. He believes that the threat of a bitcoin price drop after the halving has already passed. Drawing an analogy with the situation six years ago, he suggested that on 01 May, BTC hit a bottom around $56,000, and now calm will likely prevail until autumn, with the asset remaining in the accumulation zone. According to Rekt Capital's forecast, the exponential growth phase will begin in the autumn, during which the coin's value will reach new heights.   Bitfinex crypto exchange experts are somewhat more optimistic. They believe that the current lull may last only until the beginning of summer, and in Q3–Q4, growth will return. But everything depends on the actions of the US Fed. Bitfinex notes that the decline of the US currency from a six-month peak after the May meeting of the regulator and a weak employment report became a turning point in the trend. Now, the reduction in inflationary pressure in the US has been added. As a result, the weakening of the US currency could stimulate a rally in digital assets.   Where will this rally lead in the medium and long term? There are many answers to this question. Some predict the complete collapse and oblivion of bitcoin, while others insist on a price of $1 million per coin. Recently, Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and head of Block, joined the "millionaires' club" after CMCC Crest co-founder Willy Woo. He also expects bitcoin to surpass the $1 million mark by 2030, after which it will continue to grow, challenging traditional fiat currencies. The entrepreneur noted that a very interesting aspect of digital gold is the nature of its ecosystem and how it stimulates collective efforts to improve the network. "Aside from the founding story, the most amazing thing about bitcoin is that everyone [...] who makes any effort to improve it makes the whole ecosystem better, which drives the price up. This is an incredible movement. [...] It has taught me a lot," he explained.   Businessman, writer, and founder of Edelman Financial Services Ric Edelman believes that traditional international investors will do everything possible to diversify their portfolios. And if they all invest at least 1% of their funds in the first cryptocurrency, the bitcoin market volume will reach an unprecedented $7.4 trillion, and the asset price will soar to $420,000. The growth of the market capitalization will be facilitated by spot BTC-ETFs. According to Edelman, they cover a much broader investor base than traditional assets. "In addition, crypto ETFs are incredibly cheap. They are 20-25% cheaper than assets on Coinbase or other crypto exchanges. Plus, they are held in brokerage accounts. Bitcoin ETFs allow for traditional investment strategies such as rebalancing and dollar-cost averaging. There are also tax advantages," Edelman lists the advantages of such funds. "I am confident that bitcoin and ethereum ETFs will have a significant impact on the market in the long run," he stated.   However, this last assertion can be disputed. While BTC-ETFs are a reality, the situation with ETH-ETFs is not so simple. Many expected the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) to approve applications for the launch of ethereum funds in May. But this has not happened yet. Moreover, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas and securities lawyer Scott Johnson believe that the chances of approving spot ETH-ETFs are almost zero. In their opinion, the SEC is now considering the possibility of rejecting these funds' launch based on the fact that the applications were submitted with violations, as the fund shares are securities, not exchange-traded commodities. The question of choosing between bitcoin and ethereum confronts many investors. The roles of these two cryptocurrencies differ, and this can significantly affect their profitability. Bitcoin is increasingly seen as digital gold, providing stability during times of economic uncertainty. This concept is supported by the observed post-halving volatility decrease, which was even lower than that of many companies in the S&P 500 index (Fidelity data).   Ethereum continues to push the boundaries of what is possible through technological innovations, including the recent Dencun update aimed at reducing fees and increasing scalability. However, these changes have once again made the network inflationary, nullifying the deflationary trend established after The Merge in 2022. As a result, ETH's volatility remains higher than BTC's.   According to ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence from OpenAI, the choice between these assets largely depends on individual investment strategy and risk tolerance. Bitcoin is generally better suited for investors seeking a relatively safe store of value and those new to cryptocurrencies. In contrast, Ethereum is better for those who believe in the future of blockchain technology. The main altcoin potentially offers higher rewards but also higher risks.   Investor and Eight founder Michaël van de Poppe has already made his choice. He admitted to selling all his bitcoins to buy altcoins. Van de Poppe believes that many of them are undervalued. And as soon as ETH prices start to rise, other alternative tokens will also go up. The expert believes that the altcoins he has chosen are likely to start growing earlier and faster than the market leader, allowing for greater profit than from investments in digital gold.   At the time of writing this review, the evening of Friday, 17 May, BTC/USD is trading at $66,835, and ETH/USD at $3,095. The total market capitalization of the crypto market is $2.42 trillion ($2.24 trillion a week ago). The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has risen from 66 to 74 points but remains in the Greed zone.
