Title: Building P2P Gold bullion ? Post by: pqjj69 on February 10, 2018, 10:25:34 PM Hello,
As my business background as a bullion dealer, I am looking for an opportunity to improve this area. As I am writing, I am doing a master degree in law, specialized in Bitcoin and Blockchain. So I have no experience in coding programme, but interested in this area. My intention is to digitize bullion and provide P2P market. Have you had any thought to make it successful? Thank you very much for your time Title: Re: Building P2P Gold bullion ? Post by: yuraayura on February 10, 2018, 11:27:02 PM Im Interested :)

The particular problem with trust in this scenario is that the countries where you'd want your gold held are probably not the best ones legally for this type of project, other than maybe Switzerland. For example hold the gold in the US and you have to worry about the SEC, on the other hand hold it in Singapore where the laws might be more friendly but you have less legal recourse if the gold mysteriously disappears.
There are probably some really cool things you can do with precious metals and crypto, but the common approach so far doesn't seem particularly appealing. |
