You have a choice between the natural stability of gold and the honesty and intelligence of the members of government. And with all due respect for those gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the capitalist system lasts, vote for gold. -- George Bernard Shaw
"Gold is absolute objectivity. It is blind, like justice. It has no politics and ideology, no likes or dislikes, no friends or enemies. All it recognizes is its possessor, whom it serves faithfully so long as he has it." -- British historian Paul Johnson quoting Charles de Gaulle | |
Step-by-step instructions on how to open and fund your e-gold account are located below.
e-gold is a monetary (payments) system which enables the use of gold as money. Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc. administers the system, and oversees an inventory of gold coins and bars held in allocated storage by third party custodians. A quantity of e-gold in your account constitutes title to a precise weight (fine) of this physical gold. This means 100% backing with physical gold for the quantity shown in your account.
The primary function of the system is to facilitate payments, in gold (or silver, platinum, palladium), between e-gold customers. A secondary function is for e-gold customers to make payments to entities who are not e-gold customers. For this purpose, the e-gold system can be instructed to send payments in fiat currency units to specified entities, e.g., to pay bills. The following "Big 7" fiat currency units are catered for: USD, EUR, AUD, GBP, CAD, JPY, and CHF.
A secure, convenient interface - Account Manager - is provided for customer entry of transaction orders. All cleared transactions entail an immediate increment or decrement of one's e-metal balance. The system calculates exactly how much metal belongs to each particular customer by adding all such credits and debits.
There is no cost or fee involved in opening an account. There is also no obligation. There is a small transaction fee on all transactions between e-gold customers, currently 1% (with a maximum of 50 cents). There are also reasonable costs involved when converting to or from government currencies, and when switching between metals, e.g., converting gold to silver.
e-gold is not merely wishful thinking, it is a reality available to you today.
