Bitcoin went to $7k after going up over $1k in less than a week. The quick rise was due in-part to an upcoming fork and a Bitcoin futures trading announcement.

Let us offer a clear warning. Don’t go chasing Bitcoin Gold so hard you get scammed. There are fake wallets and fake instructions floating around. Using them can result in you losing Bitcoin.

For about a month we have heard that Oct 25 was the date for Bitcoin Gold. However, it has become clear that block 491, 407 is the key. That block will occur mid-day on the 23rd.
