We all know that Bitcoin is mined by whales of the cryptoworld and massive corporations around the world. Bitcoin Gold was designed to help anyone mine Bitcoin Gold, with just the use of a computer at home or office. I would say it's more user friendly.
No it wasn't BITCOIN-GOLD was FRAUD from day-one, back in August 2017 it was a TOKEN-COIN, then it got rebranded as an alt-coin, then as BITCOIN-GOLD, and then as a GPU MINABLE BITCOIN.
Now its just another history lesson for morons.
NOBODY designed SHIT, they took the BITCOIN source and replaced the crypto algo that was SHA256 to EQUIHASH, they litterally just moved the crypto from zcash to their clone, they added NO VALUE, you can hardly call this a design, there are dozens of BTC clones that have EQUIHASH such as BITCOIN-Z, which trades for 2 satoshi.
There is a vital difference to BITCOIN-Z. The devs of Bitcoin Gold copied the whole bitcoin blockchain and started from that.
That does not really make sense and produces lots of overhead but attracks attention because everyone thinks they are getting something for free...
