Hi I just woke up on the news that Bittrex will officially credit all the accounts with the equivalent amount of Bitcoin Gold , So if you have BTC on Bittrex you are safe , But up until now they will not support trading the coin . It is strange , they are stating that they are waiting for a connect from the deva of BTG !! Really Bitcoin Gold did not connect an exchange like Bittrex yet ! WTF .
Quote " We'd also like to encourage the BTG development team to reach out to us. "
Officially statement link :
https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002320451I'm not sure what the bitcoin gold devs are thinking because it is crucial for anybody let alone bittrex know how exactly their fork is going to function. Otherwise they simply cannot expect any sort of support for their coin whatsoever.
Bittrex has handled the BCC fork pretty well, seems like the case for bitcoin gold as well.
The bitcoin gold fork shouldn't affect the actual bitcoin's prices too much.
Not getting in touch with an exchange like Bitrrex uncover what exactly we are dealing with , I think Bitcoin Gold is just a joke and will not worth even more than $10 .
I think this belongs to the altcoin section.
Bgold is clearly another altcoin and won't have any impact for Bitcoin's short term or long term price.
And I agree with Bittrex statement and not listing that coin.
There are other exchanges you can dump that coin. Therefore I don't see any problem or issue there.
People who are holding BTC will sure be interest in this kind of news , So this news is related to BTC in first place .
