Bitcoin Gold

This is another recent bitcoin fork that appeared in October 2017. The main purpose of its creation was to simplify mining (availability to ordinary users without specialized equipment) and increase decentralization of the network.

A scandal broke out around the new currency. Its creators were suspected of market manipulation and that the only purpose of the fork was personal enrichment. A number of major exchanges refused to include the new currency in the list of available pairs. For the short time that passed since the appearance of BTG, the currency rate fluctuates in the range of $150-$400 with no clear positive or negative trend.
