HitBTC will give you Bitcoin Gold http://bit.ly/2zk2Zto You're probably aware of the two upcomming Bitcoin forks/splits we have around the corner. The more well known is Bitcoin Segwit2X which is happening in November, however on October 25 we have the Bitcoin Gold fork. Bitcoin Gold has been receiving a lot of criticism. Despite the fork being right around the corner, they apparently don't seem to have much code written, still have a lot of uncertainty with block sizes and other details, and the most criticized part is that they have an element in the code which allows them to premine essentially meaning the developers could either enrich themselves or do an ICO sale. This would be different than Bitcoin Cash where everyone just got free coins but there was no ICO and no premining. The Bitcoin Gold team has shot back saying it was a fundraising idea they had earlier in the summer but have since taken that off their website, however that still remains in the code and even the team has admitted they aren't ruling out that possibility. Anyhow, the meat and potatoes of this video is that HitBTC has come out and said they will split your coins and give you Bitcoin Gold on October 25. I've seen a lot of people curious about which wallets and exchanges will support Bitcoin Gold as well as Segwit 2 and HitBTC is one of them. HitBTC also has a track record of handling these situations well as they did with Bitcoin Cash a few months back. One last comment, and I mention this in more detail in the video, while I agree controlling your keys is the best way to store and hold Bitcoin and does assure you will receive all forks, history has shown us that people on exchanges sometimes fair better. Back with the Bitcoin Cash fork, I was using a Trezor. It was a couple days after the fork before I was able to access my Bitcoin Cash. At that point, even once I had it, most exchanges had suspended Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash withdrawls and deposits meaning that even though I had access to mine, I couldn't get it on an exchange to sell it. During this period Bitcoin Cash was trading at above $1000, prior to the fork futures were selling for as much as $1300. The people who had their coins on either Bittrex or HitBTC actually not only got immediate access to their Bitcoin Cash, they were able to trade it while the price was at the highest.
