bxc4 is the main line to go instead of 4.g6 I searched this in game explorer, there's not much though of the opening, can't really guide you any further as there is not many more games.

4...bxc4 is the best line.  You are right in saying it is very common in blitz here.  Exchanging on c4 immediately gives you all the initiative because it opens the b-file for your rook.  A lot of times you can exchange sac it for the b2 bishop with delicious results. 

Christian Manley vs. Jan rosenburg, 2001 is a good example of the kinds of trouble White is in with 4. b3:
