Poloniex Announcement
On October 24th 2017, Poloniex stated that: "until the software is released for review, we cannot commit to distribution nor can we pledge to support it. The reason for this is that we cannot be certain about the security and stability of the software, nor the state or health of the network prior to launch".
After being made available to trade on several exchanges as well as having support from the major cyrpto hardware wallets such as Ledger and Trezor, Bitcoin gold has still not been listed on Poloniex.
Furthermore, Poloniex has not even made another statement about whether or not they intended on listing Bgold on their exchange.
Bcash on forked from Bitcoin on the 1st August 2017 with accounts being credited by the 14th August. Poloniex made this announcement just 2 days after the fork on 3rd August. So why the delay for Bitcoin Gold.
Bcash is Threatened by Bitcoin Gold
While the Bcash crowd attempt to overtake take BTC in a flippening, it would appear that the only flipping that is occuring is to Bitcoin Error Log.
Meanwhile, Bgold with it's Bitcoin brand poses a threat to Bcash. It is different to Bcash in that it offers GPU mining while Bcash is ASIC mine-able. Bgold already have a growing following and Bitcoin holders respect Bgold more than they do Bcash which is merely a small pin prick in Bitcoin's side.
Cui Bono
Who benefits from Bitcoin Gold not being listed on Poloniex. Roger Ver and his merry men certainly do! If Poloniex lists Bitcoin Gold it will certainly cause a pump in Bgold's price and put attention on another version of Bitcoin. One that is friendly towards Bitcoin rather than intending to hurt it. Bcash top dogs are worried that Bitcoin Gold will threaten their position as a Bitcoin alternative project.
