It's still bullish for gold. Gold WILL soar.

I mean: The 3% does >NOT< protect us from visa doing a charge back when it is found that the card was stolen, and they never catch the thief...

And no. The 3% does protect us from visa doing a charge back when it is found that the card was stolen, and they never catch the thief...

I have no concern about whether gold is the currency of the future (as it WAS). And my only real investments would be stock, real estate, and viable businesses. The real concern of the "Authorities" (and should be for the people) is our DIGITAL CURRENCIES (a threat the fiat currency and CREDIT Cards). The value it is backed by could be beans as far as people are concerned. And no one should JUMP in to anything - again: DUE DILIGENCE.

I actually agree with you on both points, more on the 1st point. If treat your egold holdings as an investment then you SHOULD consider the underlying gold price. If you are doing quick purchasing transactions with merchants that give discounts for using egold or if you are a merchant entertaining all forms of payments (like us) then egold is what it is. Simply another form of payment. By the way, visa charges us 3% and we exchange egold for 1%.

Remember, it's never too late to jump in later then to be sorry always. Good luck with all of your investments.-Swapw

If you believe gold would be the currency of tomorrow and that it will appreciate in value, invest by any means. However, if you think otherwise like I do then I would suggest a continuation of your current investments.

Perhaps you are speaking more to someone who seems to be your specific audience (mentioning your blog), but I've only commented that you did not paint the full picture of egold's use. You propose and perhaps get others to presume that e-gold is an Investment when if you examine the world of the common egold user, and the history of egold's founder and promoting itself, it is put forth mostly as a method of irrevocable and private transacting (in line with eff dot org's goal for privacy).

I would like to close our debate as this. Before anything like E-gold should be looked at, each individual should seriously examine the value of gold.
