In his latest podcast, Peter Schiff illustrates the important differences between cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and a gold transaction account like Goldmoney when it comes to convenience and preserving wealth. Essentially, it comes down to the technological risks and the price volatility of the underlying currencies. Here’s a breakdown of Peter’s major points:

Convenience

One advantage cryptocurrencies have over physical precious metals is the ease of transaction, but it comes at a cost. Bitcoin is a completely digital currency, so you can spend or transfer it just like cash. However, with a Goldmoney account, gold owners can now enjoy the same convenience, whether they’re depositing, sending or receiving transfers through an app or paying with a Goldmoney MasterCard.

“It’s not about Goldmoney being the substituted for Bitcoin,” Peter explains. “It’s gold itself. Gold is what you want to own, not Bitcoin. Goldmoney makes gold as convenient to use as Bitcoin. In fact, I think more convenient to use when it comes to commerce because you can deposit some of your gold in your Goldmoney account and now it takes all of those liquid characteristics that so many people like about Bitcoin.”
