Description

Bitcoin Gold is a cryptocurrency project created in 2017 as a friendly hard fork of Bitcoin. It originally sought to decentralize mining through GPU mining while remaining compatible with Bitcoin technologies such as SegWit and Lightning Network. The website describes a 2024–2025 strategic upgrade to merge back to Bitcoin, reduce BTG inflation to zero, improve security, and support applications using BTG; it also provides wallet downloads, source code, network status, an explorer, and ecosystem resources.
