I was outta this convo till a principal stopped by wantin' to cease the "witch hunt".

Tell us more about that daily gold vault accounting audit. Is that a free service provided by the largest accounting firm in Canada?

[BitGold_Derrick]

Large accounting firms do not work for free. Because your questions are clearly not serious, I will not answer them.

Derrick Schwabe of 4917 50th Ave, Suite 207 Camrose, ALBERTA T4V 0S2 Canada, I say that by taking such a stance you fucked up big time.

Where the fuck do you get off with claiming that my questions are "clearly not serious"?

Bitgold customer: Can we see the audit for the gold in your vaults?
Bitgold: Obviously, your question is clearly not serious, thus go fuck yourself.

1. Excess vulgarity
2. Asking if large accounting firms work for free (this is either not serious or very stupid)
3. Joining a witch hunt

You just lost your opportunity as being seen as someone legitimate, sorry!

BitGold customers are always welcome to contact us with questions, comments, etc.

If I am wrong about this witch hunt, please feel free to present a list of confirmed victims of our services.

However this will be impossible. Continue to enjoy BitGold!

Hi,

I have seen many referrals today for this site, usually this is a warning sign to a Ponzi/HYIP. https://www.bitgold.com

After reading some of the posts it appears they want all your personal details to provide you with some "virtual" gold. which they hold for you. until you can collect at a vault, and im wondering how easy that would be...

I have also seen this website design, images before now on a few other sites.

Originally back in 2005, BitGold.com was a HYIP, You can view the wayback machine archive below.

Wayback Machine showing BitGold in 2005: https://web.archive.org/web/20050403034103/http://www.bitgold.com/

Since then, BitGold appeared to be doing very little, until January.

Please people be wary of this.

Yep, in due time the old bitgold.com developed a negative connotation toward its brand under the direction of the infamous Hajji Mbagne DIOP.

After a five-year run, the old bitgold.com took an ~5-year hiatus to emerge as the Bitcoin-themed bitgold.com: https://web.archive.org/web/20110717111117/http://www.bitgold.com/

Early in 2014, the new Bitgold introduced itself to the world, doing so without procuring the domain name, for [fuckin'] clearly it was supposedly still for sale on May 9, 2014: https://web.archive.org/web/20140209215245/http://www.bitgold.com/

A smart outfit would not only make sure that a brand does not have any negative connotation attached to it, but make sure it's available prior to getting the brand registered. That, or they fucked up big time in that regard, but you can trust them with your gold.

That's what extent the BitGold dudes will go through to advance their snake oil.

Not a serious question: At only a 1% transaction fee, how much gold has to exchange hands at BitGold so that Alexander Soros, the son of George Soros, can see a return on his $21.4 million investment?

Let me guess: You're paid the big bucks at BitGold, that's why you're here to see if you can destroy its brand in six posts or less. I'd say you've done it in exactly three, giving you a bye on your first and second post.

1. Excess vulgarity. (Poor little Derrick was hurt and had to hunt his mommy's titties to suck on because I used the word 'fuck' three times.)

2. Asking if large accounting firms work for free (this is either not serious or very stupid) (I was driving the point home because everywhere I looked, BitGold espouses the accounting aspect but NEVER addresses the audit of the actual gold.)

3. Joining a witch hunt (Derrick adds up 1 and 2 and comes to the conclusion that I, or anybody else who speaks ill of BitGold is on a witch hunt.)

Okay, since BitGold had yet to conduct an audit of its physical gold, I conducted the audit. As you can see, all of BitGolg's gold is safe and sound and ALL accounted for, and stored as a Tweet.


"Fuck the gold! We're only here for the witch-hunt."

Number of Bitcoin-related entities still around today after expressing virtually the same clause: 0

I'd say that this Derrick dude is the Inaba of BitGold.

Oh, that 2005 bitgold site is just like today's hyips However I believe the domain have chaned owner, as the wayback machine have featured even older screenshots of that site, and the site looks like a throwaway (i.e. fake company website which intended to sell their site). Or the old owner of the domain don't extend the expiry date of the domain, and it got registered by another.
BTW I also wanted to get some free gold there but I had an account right before they started the campaign and I got nothing

Whoever owned bitgold.com back in the day wouldn't have given it up so easily due to it having some value. And surely some Bitcoiner wouldn't have ended up with it. And surely BitGold wouldn't have started a company named BitGold without FIRST obtaining the domain name that was STILL for sale when BitGold was incorporated.

I honestly believe that those who were behind the old BitGold are one and the same behind the new BitGold making us believe that the site has changed hands no less than twice over the years since its HYIP days.

If Derrick didn't have his and others dicks up his ass so far, he would have came here and shed proper light on the subject oppose to echoing what other one-post-count users were crying - witch-hunt!

So not to disappoint, yes, I'm officially on a witch-hunt pertaining to BitGold thanks to Derrick's efforts. Oh, and I don't have to worry 'bout him refuting my discoveries because he's done with me since having already wasted my question, albeit asked in the name of others.

BitGold is directly connected to GCX.io which is also directly connected to Anthem Vault. If you don't like one, we'll funnel your ass to another entity we're associated with that it, too, has its accounting paperwork audited on a daily basis. Where's the gold, you ask? That's a secret, but rest assured that it, too, has been audited and surveyed and that there's no monkey business afoot, wink, wink, wink.

GoldMoney produces gold bars in an undisclosed located in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPWEtO0Mc84 Question: How is it possible for an entity that has an operational blast furnace get a business license to operate in the UK sans disclosing its location?

“The flexibility of the BitGold platform allows gold to be a core savings account coupled with digital currency for seamless global payments, or as a natural-world storage and safety valve for an inevitable internet of money.”

In laymen's terms: We will lie on our backs with the unicorns and jack-off to the rainbows in the sky.

Other services such as Bitreserve, Bitcoin Bullion, DigitalTangible and Amagi Metals offer similar services to BitGold.

I wonder why they didn't mention their Hayek or Netagio.

Hi there!

GCX here and we've just stumbled upon this.

We are in no way shape or form affiliated to, have done business with or share any direct or indirect relationship  with BitGold or AnthemVault.

We are direct competitors and that's pretty much where it ends.

Happy to answer any and all your questions.

Regards,
GCX.io
