The price is hyped up because of the fork starting Oct. 25th...since it's splitting up holders will end up with double the amount. I'll copy a couple of links of interesting videos about the blockchain splitting up. If you fast foward to the 17th minute, it talks about bitcoin gold..
This other video has great info as well :)))
