How to buy Bitcoin Gold (BTG) in Northern Mariana Islands

What is Bitcoin Gold (BTG)?

Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is a hard fork of Bitcoin, launched in November 2017. A hard fork occurs when a blockchain splits into two due to a significant protocol change, resulting in a new token on a separate blockchain. The main aim behind the creation of Bitcoin Gold was to re-decentralize Bitcoin, which by 2017 was becoming increasingly centralized due to the dominance of a small number of miners. This centralization was partly due to the high costs of ASIC (Application-Specific Integration Circuits) miners required for Bitcoin mining. In contrast, Bitcoin Gold was designed to be mined with GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), which are more accessible to average individuals. Bitcoin Gold uses the Equihash proof of work mechanism, making it difficult to mine with custom hardware like ASIC miners. This has led to smaller block sizes and potentially faster transaction speeds compared to Bitcoin. However, a significant downside of Bitcoin Gold is its vulnerability to 51% attacks, a type of attack where a group controls over 50% of the network's computing power, leading to issues like reversed transactions and double-spending​​.

The price of Bitcoin Gold, like many cryptocurrencies, is influenced by a range of factors. Traders use a combination of trading signals and technical indicators to predict its price trajectory. Key indicators include Bitcoin Gold's support and resistance levels, which offer insights into market supply and demand dynamics. Additionally, chart patterns, along with indicators like the RSI (Relative Strength Index), Moving Averages, and the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), are used to gauge the direction of long-term trends and predict future price movements. Market sentiments also play a crucial role. As of 2023, there is a neutral bullish sentiment with a 57% market leaning, and the Fear Greed Index displays a score indicative of greed. This sentiment is supported by various indicators, with a majority signaling a bullish prediction for Bitcoin Gold. However, it's essential to note that the long-term trend for Bitcoin Gold has been negative, with a significant decline in price over the past year. This trend is observed in the daily price charts, showing Bitcoin Gold in a falling channel, indicating a prolonged period of declining prices with challenges in sustaining significant upward movements​​​​​​​​​​.
