The platform administration demanded 12.37 thousand BTG ($ 263 thousand at the rate for September 3), but the developers refused to pay this amount. Then Bittrex reduced the fine to 6 thousand coins, but the management of Bitcoin Gold did not react in any way.
The representatives of the altcoin commented on the delisting and stressed that it had nothing to do with the cryptocurrency system. They assured that this situation will not affect the price of Bitcoin Gold in any way.
The average market price of the coin is $ 21.3, it is on the 30th place in the list of the largest by the capitalization of digital money. Over the past week, the altcoin price has not changed much, it is within $ 21- $ 22.
