Can someone summarize what BG1 and BG2 tokens on Bitfinex summarize...

...and why are they valued at 5000$ and 134$ respectively at the present moment?

BG1 is the incumbent Bitcoin blockchain while BG2 is Bitcoin Gold. A little research would have helped. You can view the following link for more information

I believe that should explain further.

I visited the page you mention and it didn't really illuminate the matter.

What does it mean that I can destroy my tokens? Why would I want to do that?

If Bitcoin is split into legacy chain i.e. BG1 and Bitcoin Gold i.e. BG2 why is the sum of BG1 + BG2 approx. 800$ short of price of BTC?

As I thought. Suddenly it is not so clear.
