Who is behind Bitcoin Gold?
This is the first time I am hearing such a thing.
I guess 2017 will be known for its multiple chain attacks against Consensus?
Well it's already known for this, so why not just amplify it to the point so that we have multiple people trying to split off from the REAL Bitcoin.
Seriously, I don't understand why people are doing this again. Bitcoin Cash didn't work, and won't work. Right now it's just a traded coin. This coin is going to be even more shit then Bitcoin Cash, which crazily enough amassed an insane amount of Market Cap. People have to get on the train that Bitcoin is going to be it, there will be some trading coins but they're never going to be gaining any real usage traction.
Stay with Bitcoin and you'll be fine.
I am not a profesional Blockchain developer or Bitcoin developer whatsoever but in my own understanding and opinion I think Bitcoin itself doesn't need a fork or any kind of a split it just happen that when you need to change a block size of it there is a possibility that a split may occur meaning it is not 100% so even though the developers won't want it to happen but they can't do nothing because a chance is a chance even it is 0.0000001%
They are all doing this for a better good because Bitcoin needs to upgrade just like IOS, Windows OS, Linux etc. and moving forward is not always perfect it will tackle different kinds of problems along the way but when the trial is done then it will make Bitcoin stronger more than ever.
