You can't compare the 2.

BTG was an irrelevant scammy shitcoin.

XMR would be a better comparison.

I don't subscribe to that narrative. GPU mining is benefficial in my view.

I think that ASIC resistance is an utopia. If someone has an economical incentive to develop a specialized CPU for a concrete PoW algorithm, it's gonna happen.

It's not utopia. Anyways, if BCH won't do it, we have XMR to test that path.

Xmr just try to fork whenever there is a public ASIC. You can't do that with bitcoin

Actually, it could be done.

(Xmr has ASIC)
But BTG was attacked because it has low hashrate/market cap, not because it's a "scammy shitcoin"

being a scammy shitcoin equals to a weak network.

BCH should have changed to GPU mining at the second hard fork upgrade.
