Astonishing volume of pure noise here.
Here are my 0.02:
1. The idea of a more decentralized hash power coin is good, so I would like to see the project succeed
2. The dev team is better than BCH team, but not nearly as good as Core
3. There has been both FUD and accurate negative news. Team has not done great job of comms strategy, but they are over worked and undermanned.
4. Powerful forces at work are trying to shut down this project. Mining pools have been attacked, BTG web site has been DDOS, fake wallets have been inserted. These are all external to the team and alarming efforts to try to kill BTG.
To answer OP specific question: my view is HOLD for at least a month. Like BCH everyone is going to dump so unless you are the first out the door the price will likely be depressed by momentum by the time you get your coins traded anyways. If you hold, and BTG's vision plays out over the next 2 months -- i.e. market assigns value to an ASIC-resistant fork -- it will be a significant altcoin.
