Title: gold selling
Post by: filharvey on March 26, 2013, 01:33:32 AM
Today I had a proper chance to speak to a friend of mine who works at the biggest gold seller in the us. I found out some interesting bits on how they do business and their margins (which are v low). But I'm interested more in how large is the bitcoin to gold market at the moment?

He is interested in getting involved in a possible company, but I'm not sure the market is there. The one thing I can say is that the pricing he can get for gold is lower than anyone via the company.

Gold will certainly increase in price in the future IMO, by what factor though? Even at $10k per ounce it would be roughly 6.25x current price. A similar increase in Bitcoin would represent a price of about $468. The other factor, of course, is that Bitcoin can't be manipulated as easily as gold and silver obviously are. But, of couse, he knows all about that.
