Greetings!


Tell us more about hedging risks?


Commercial producers and gold workers, like miners, jewelers, or the government, tended to use gold options, futures and ETF as hedging tools.

Today, a significant amount of investors like to use gold to hedge against inflation or to diversify their investments. In fact, gold became the one common investment  of all metals and has a legendary history as commodity and coin. Like other commodities, gold depends on micro and macro economical and political events, so its value fluctuates along with these. GoldMint not only helps you cushion the risk of this volatility but also gives you the option of taking a short position in physical gold bullion, coins or mining stocks.

Here are some reasons why investors choose GoldMint:

You can hedge your investment in gold using the GOLD token. Doing so protects your gold from bearish conditions. Investors can chose to convert just a portion of their assets or all of it with this GOLD cryptoasset
Investors may want to invest in a minimal amount of GOLD to assess whether or not they profit
GOLD is based on real physical gold and therefore possesses far more face-value credibility than other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, have.
The gold market/ gld returns look promising. GoldMint helps investors hedge their risks and promises more for their investments.


Is MNTP a security token?


No, MNTP tokens are used for ICO only. As soon as GoldMint blockchain is launched, MNTP can be exchanged for MNT used as stake in our consensus algorithm. MNT holders do not receive any passive income. We have a report on MNT/MNTP status from an US lawyer company. This provides us with an opportunity to trade MNT/MNTP on the US market 12 months after ICO.

The Advantages of Digital Gold and Its Key Advantages
Compared to Traditional Crypto Currencies

_______________________________________________________________

Throughout history, human beings have been fascinated by gold, and it had been mined long before other metals. Gold has a magical quality that other metals and substances do not, as it provides a sense of purity and infinity. It is also easy to shape in various forms. These characteristics explain why gold continues to remain valuable and be used in various currencies — both traditional fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies.

In this article, we will briefly discuss what digital gold is, why gold is more stable and more secure than conventional and crypto currencies, and the advantages of digital gold in comparison with other currencies.

_______________________________________________________________

Gold and Digital Gold
_______________________________________________________________

After the era of bartering goods, around 550 BC, gold coins were introduced as a currency by the King of Croesus of Lydia. However, some scholars posited that ancient Egyptian already used gold currency 3,500 years ago. Since King Croesus’ official use of gold coins, various types of coins were also used in several countries before the introduction of paper money in 600 BC by China.

In 1066, the British currency system introduced “the original pound,” which was a pound of silver. In 1248, they issued the gold florin, which was the first major gold currency. The era of using gold as monetary standard has officially started.

Fast forward five centuries later, in 1792, the United States started a silver-gold monetary system, which established that the value of one US dollar was equal to 24.75 grains of pure gold. At that time, notes can be redeemed into gold or silver. However, redeemability ended in 1933 for gold and 1968 for silver.

By the 19th Century, many major currencies were fixed to gold at a set price per ounce, under the so-called Gold Standard. The USA introduced its gold standard in 1900. President Richard Nixon, however, released this standard in 1978. Since then, the US dollar has no backing but debt, which is called “fiat money.”

Digital gold currency is a digital currency backed by mass units of gold that resembles the U.S. paper gold certificate used from 1873 to 1933, which was exchangeable with gold. Today, digital gold currencies are issued by companies, such as GoldMint, which is also a platform where users can pay each other in gold units that are as valuable as gold bullion. Digital gold currencies are considered independent currencies.

_______________________________________________________________

Why Gold Is More Stable
_______________________________________________________________

The market value of gold remains more stable than other metals. When other currencies are weak, gold value usually increases. One of the most told use-case stories is that people during the times of war or natural disasters often return to using gold pieces to pay for life necessities. In other words, when other currencies have no more value due to political, social, and economic uncertainties, gold remains valuable and is the most respected item for bartering.

Physically, gold does not corrode nor shift in shape despite changes in temperature, location, and time. Even after thousands of years, gold remains pure and free from external elements, which allows immediate processing, if needed. It is also non-toxic and portable — can be shaped in various forms. As a currency, these traits provide a sense of security that the value will be preserved as well.

_______________________________________________________________

Advantages of Digital Gold
_______________________________________________________________

Due to being backed by gold bullion, digital gold currencies provide the same sense of stability and security like gold bars and gold certificates. Users keep digitalized information on their gold units, which are backed by real gold. Such record is a proof of ownership of the gold units.

Thus, digital gold currencies also give protection against inflation and are timeless and convenient to store. The record of ownership will be kept in an online account, which users can use for various purposes, including currency exchanges and obtaining loans.

Compared with traditional (fiat) currencies, gold and digital gold provide a hedge against inflation. Also, when currencies are weak, gold value usually increases. Since digital gold can be redeemed, owners can use real gold units whenever needed.

Compared with other crypto currencies, like Bitcoin, digital gold currencies are more stable and secure. Digital gold currencies are backed by real gold bullion, while most other crypto currencies are not. However, in the case of Tether, which is backed by dollar, it is prone to inflation and the ups and downs of a fiat currency. Crypto currencies rely on trust that they have value, while digital gold currencies’ value is closely affected by the value of gold bullion.

_______________________________________________________________

Other advantages of digital gold currencies include:
_______________________________________________________________

1. Universality
It is a borderless global currency system independent of exchange rates and political situations.

2. Asset protection
Digital gold currencies hold 100 percent of ownership in gold units, which can be redeemed with digital certificates. Most fiat currencies, however, aren’t backed at all. The US dollars, for instance, are “legal tender” in payments of debts.

3. Investment
Digital gold currencies can be kept as investments. They can be used for various investment purposes among parties as well.

4. Exchangeability
Digital gold currencies can be exchanged through digital currency exchangers to be bought and sold. However, if necessary, owners can redeem the gold units and use them for transactions.

5. Non-reversibility
Digital gold currency transactions are final and can’t be reversed like in credit and debit card transactions. It allows transactions to occur without being able to be reversed in most circumstances. These characteristics allow digital gold currency platforms run without spending a large budget for dispute resolutions.

6. Immediacy
Due to the blockchain technology that supports digital currencies, like the GoldMint, transactions and exchanges can occur immediately with smart contracts. Smart contracts are computer software that provides instant execution of agreement terms upon met conditions.

In conclusion, digital gold currencies are the modern digital format of gold bullion. Thus, they have the same advantages as the real gold, while also enjoy the convenience and immediacy of digital currencies.

Greetings!


Where does goldmint store its physical Gold and which etfs back gold cryptoassets?


GoldMint's gold is locked up in its storage reserves. The amount of gold and the ratings of this gold are confirmed by bank statements which are uploaded in the GoldMint blockchain to guarantee transparency.


If the Gold is damaged or stolen, who will take responsibility for?


The gold we use to back GOLD digital assets is all insured.


What is the limit of the loan?


The limit of the loan depends on the GOLD or the value of the gold that is used as a collateral.

What is custody bot?


Custody Bot is GoldMint's unique device. It is programmed for temporary holding, inspection, long-term storing and conveying of gold jewelry, coins or gold.


What are the commissions for transactions in gold?


Most times, when a person buys GOLD for fiat, the price for GOLD will be LBMA + 5%. When they want to sell their GOLD, the price will be LBMA +3%. The commission for managing gold is 0.2-0.8% per annum, depending on gold volatility and investor traffic. After analyzing the correlation between the value of gold and the stock price of the three largest ETFs - the GLD (announced expense ratio 0.4% ), the IAU ( 0.25% ) and SGOL ( 0.39% ) - we estimate that the real backlog of ETF shares in physical gold is about 0.7% (prices are taken from COMEX on the LME ).


What are MNT tokens?


MNT is GoldMint's internal token, used to confirm GOLD cryptoasset transactions.

Greetings!


How do i get the money loaned?


GoldMint loan applicants transfer their GOLD as collateral to a certain GoldMint application. The rate of the loan is established at the time of giving and remains fixed through the loan period. Applicants needs to consent to GoldMint loan terms to receive the loan.Applicant is given various options for repaying loan amount and for mode of repayment. If the borrower defaults, his GOLD cryptoassets are transferred to GoldMint.


What is trust management?


Trust management occurs when investors send their GOLD to GoldMint and the company uses these assets for P2P loans or for buying physical gold (e.g., for goldfield development).


How do they work?


MNT is used as a stake within the PoS (Proof-of-Stake) consensus algorithm. Namely, the more MNT the miner holds, the more blocks he can validate and add to the chain.
