The BTG network aims to combine the security and sturdiness of the Bitcoin blockchain and its characteristics with the opportunity for experimentation and development.
BTG enhances and extends the crypto space with a blockchain closely compatible with Bitcoin but without using resources like Bitcoin hash power or vying for the "real Bitcoin" title. The company aims to present a coin with the implementation capabilities of Bitcoin, expanding on the opportunities for DeFi and DApp developers to use the coin. Bitcoin Gold was created to reinstate a more decentralized, democratic mining environment that Bitcoin enjoyed in its early days. In context of escalating concerns over Bitcoin mining centralization and corresponding potential network abuse, Bitcoin Gold experiments with a new mining algorithm with the hopes of informing potential future changes to Bitcoin mining. Unlike some forks, Bitcoin Gold doesn't intend to overtake Bitcoin per se, but rather to draw attention to and experiment with possible solutions for enabling retail investors to participate in mining.
