i don't think it is scam because then jaynemesis (a famous crypto-trader at etoro) would have warned. Besides of that i stay away from bitcoin gold becuase i think it's the same rubbish as bitcoin cash is. it won't survive very long
I wouldn't rely on one person's opinion. That said I agree that Bitcoin Gold being scam or not, it's still rubbish. Bitcoin is popular, altcoins are up-to-date with tech. And Bitcoin Gold is neither.
