Re: Goldtard/Cryptotards we Ride
Imagine taking your token and exchanging it for gold! The physical gold will be stored by the Royal Mint of Canada. As Rick likes to say, “Imagine your gold being protected by NATO.”

Hmmmmmm

1. if the token price is tied to Gold, not much room to move?

2. Protected by NATO ?? Well, that ain't gonna fly in this group... Nope

But i will give the podcast a listen and report back

"The physical gold will be stored by the Royal Mint of Canada."

...one of the main properties of cryptocurrencies is decentralization. Meaning, that the goal is to eliminate single points of failure. Think of e-gold a few years ago, when the feds raided them and took their gold.

A crypto backed by gold has to have some point where the gold is stored. In this case it is the Royal Mint of Canada. Which, is, in itself, a centralized point of failure.

In other words, this "crypto" does not have the resilience of a decentralized cryptocurrency because at any point of time the mint, or the canadian govt, can say "no we won't give you the gold for x,y,z arbitrary reasons". And then the scheme fails. You can't trust banks or the government. It's that simple.

Why don't they give the gold out instead of " looking after it"

Re: Goldtard/Cryptotards we Ride
I'll hold my gold and hodl my crypto, thank you very much.

Why assume counter-party risk in gold holding by way of a technology which is backed by distributed trust?

Sounds like a gold grab. It in any case, I don't think it will end well for those holding the digital "gold"

It's creating risk to the holder without adding any value other than the word "crypto." Possibly price stability... Why not use gold money instead?

Regardless, if it drives up pm demand, like "crypto" did for Kodak stock, I'll be happy.

Re: Goldtard/Cryptotards we Ride
Remember, several states in the US have already passed legislation making gold and silver legal tender.

I think Texas and Utah have both set up plans for similar gold repositories. Basically you just build a crypto-currency on the amount of gold in the repository and make the crypto-coins fungible with gold specie.

I think the 'profit' would then be private companies that develop applications to link the state gold coins to each other and then to other asset backed coins say if Norway issued crypto-coins on their oil production, etc.

But in general you want to 1) eliminate seniourage on minting new gold or silver coins for people (they exchange a crypto-coin for physical and the crypto-coin 'disappears' from the e-gold-inventory and 2) offer interest for people to deposit their gold or silver in the repository say 2% in gold or silver coin. That will end backwardation in silver and gold and break the banks backs.

We have the potential for a system of de-centralized state governments in the US, each state has a constitution.

As I said several states have already passed legal tender laws making gold or silver legal tender. All they have to do now is build encrypted-databases on the inventory.

Some groups in the middle east have already developed crypto-gold coin models where crypto coins are fully fungible with gold coins (specie).

Gold, silver, copper, platinum, any precious metal but history has shown that silver and gold are the best monetary metals.

Venezuela is trying an oil backed crypto but I find that difficult to understand how it works because oil is ultimately burned money is a medium of exchange and store of value, if something is consumed how can it be a store of value?

The problem is fixing some paper currency value to an ounce of gold or silver and or equating a fixed amount of silver to gold.

That requires a 'middleman', i.e. banks and tax authorities. That overhead then drags the economy down. Real bills do not need banking middleman, and now with the internet and encrypted databases they are entirely possible.

So you'll see state and or government mints making crypto coins fungible with physical in repository, with accounts completely transparent unlike the central banking system where their accounting is opaque.

It's the solution to the world's unpayable mountain of debt. States or governments will just issue minted coins from the repository upon demand with the face of coin saying 1 ounce 0.999 fine, that's it instead of saying $50.

Also, repositories need to offer interest on gold or silver deposited, like 2% interest then people who have hoarded gold or silver will deposit their metal in the repositories, that is key to keep the system growing and operational.

Commercial economic activity then occurs via electronic real bills, that offers a system of 'credit' and allows the economy to grow. The past 400 years of 'economic science' will be relegated to the trashcan where it deserves to go.

There are a few issues with bitcoin, chief are the power requirements to mine the remaining bitcoins and the power requirements for clearing them for any size transaction.

When it costs $50 to process a bitcoin transaction it doesn't make much sense for any purchase less than say $1,000.

The other issue with bitcoins is that all transactions are transparent in the database, some people like their privacy. Crypto-money standards just deal in physical amount of metal so a transaction is recorded for a certain amount of metal but it doesn't record where it went or what it was used to purchase.

I don't think you want all your purchase history available for anyone to see like your boss or insurance company.

If you can take the word "cryptocurrency" and replace it with the word "database" in any article, then it's all bullshit.

This is a tactic that people use to hype a product or service, and refresh the image with new lingo - in other words, it's business as usual.

A blockchain network is a distributed network that exists on all devices participating and is self-sustainable without a center point to record and manage data.

Imagine a library - in the library is the librarian who allows you to check out books. She uses her computer to collect data and record all transaction. This is the same principal that banks use, and the same idea that this article uses. This is considered a centralized network.
