This current move is great. I don't know much about BTG I just
inherited coins at the fork, so I don't know yet what is driving them
Current rise in price.

Unlike what I did with the previous bitcoin fork coins, selling BCH
at $950 I will be holding as BTG gains popularity.

could what they say about satoshi's vision be true? like its the peoples coin or something and the people run the network also. I mean it is one of the best to mine for profits with nvidia geforce 1070 , 1080, 1080ti right now. Maybe everyone can have a 16 gpu mining rig in their home and escape the rat race?

I want to refer to your idea: Maybe everyone can have a 16 gpu mining rig in their home and escape the rat race

Well, for one thing I had a 6 GPU (only 6!) mining rig at home and it had a dedicated room. The heat it emmited was enormous so I had a home-made fan based cooling system, so it was not only hot (in summer) but also loud like a small jet plane. To help the fans in winter I would turn the heating off and open all windows so it became very cold in the room. You wouldn't want to be living your regular life next to 16 GPU mining rig!

I don't think that it is something that an average Joe can put under his bed in a bedroom.

Ha ha but its all a learning thing isnt it, maybe people that know nothing about computers join the party. You dont have to start off big (for average joe) with a 16 GPU miner, you can just get say, put a system together with 2 1080 ti's and you just get your foot in the door, it will bring in about $20 dollars a day, but the beauty is you start trading and learning and making mistakes and knowing who to trust with minimum risk and then when you are confident you can scale up.

Sure I scaled up, I started with a computer wit 3GPU that was fixed for me by the computer store, but then I learned some more and figured out that I had some old PCs so why not buy some additional GPUs and power units and I fixed them myself.

I can only tell you, that even a one GPU system mining 24/7 is not feasible if you want to live your life around it.

you missed the point entirely so maybe you are a fake, the one gpu you live your life around is your gaming computer, your mining computer(s) can be somewhere else making money !?!
