By the time Blockchain Bitcoin 491,407 blocks, a new protocol version will be formed. The result is a Bitcoin replication coin called Bitcoin Gold (BTG).
Pros
FAIR DISTRIBUTION
Hard forking Bitcoin’s blockchain fairly and efficiently distributes 16.5 million BTG immediately to people all over the world who have interest in cryptos. Other methods, such as creating coins with a new genesis block, concentrate ownership within a small group.
Cons
Over the past few days, the BTG development team have become embroiled in a pre-mining scandal that’s made them seem incompetent—and even nefarious, to some in the community.
