After weeks of preparation, Bitcoin Gold (Bgold; BTG) is finally launching tomorrow, November 12, 2017.
Bitcoin Gold is the second project to fork away from the Bitcoin blockchain to create a new coin this year; on August 1, Bitcoin Cash (Bcash) was the first. Where Bcash attempted to offer an on-chain scaling solution by increasing Bitcoin's block size limit (while removing the Segregated Witness code), Bgold is an attempt to counter Bitcoin's mining centralization. 1 BTG would be worth almost $250, and Bgold would immediately become a top-5 altcoin.
