Definition: Bitcoin Gold


In 2017, Bitcoin spawned a new cryptocurrency for the second time (Bitcoin Cash was the first) in order to make the mining process more resistant to ever-increasing speeds in hardware specialized for Bitcoin mining. On October 24, 2017, Bitcoin holders received one unit of Bitcoin Gold (BTG) for every Bitcoin they owned. More "hard forks" of Bitcoin are expected. See Bitcoin hard fork, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin.
