GOLD BACKED COIN (GBC)
WORLD'S FIRST VIRTUAL CURRENCY FULLY BACKED BY GOLD


http://www.gbc.is/res/gbc_betalogo.png


ANNOUNCING

Simply stated, Gold Backed Coin (GBC) is a revolution in its field. Its 100 % backing by physical gold adds a new dimension to the term cryptocurrency: There will be price stability downwards, while upwards there is no limit, and the free market defines the price.
 
ISSUING
Driven by a new concept, GBC differs from all other virtual currencies. Gold Backed Coins are issued following a book building process in which their current price is to be defined. Prospective holders hand in their orders by choosing a price within a given span. The maximum order volume will be calculated to serve the demand – and it may well be that the individual user gets GBC for a price cheaper than ordered. The first book building will take place from April 9, 2014 15:00 (CET) to April 22, 2014 15:00 (CET).
 
TRADING
Gold Backed Coins are tradable online within the Ripple network. Existing since 2011, this is an advanced system for trading currencies safely and quickly against each other worldwide. The prime place for trading GBC is the GBC/BTC market integrated in the Ripple network – but users can easily create new markets in which to buy or sell GBC against other currencies.
 
MINIMUM PRICE GUARANTEE
Interventions on the GBC/BTC market will happen, should the market price drop below the backed value of the coin. The physical gold reserves will be used to guarantee investors this important advantage.
 
AMOUNT OF COINS
A maximum amount of 13 Million GBC is expected to be issued during several book buildings. The exact amount of GBC in circulation will depend on the specific demand during the book building processes. In any case, all GBC will be backed by one tenth of an ounce of gold per coin.
 
SPECS
Currency code: GBC
Value: Backed by one tenth of an ounce of gold per coin
Issuance: Via book buildings on http://www.GBC.is
Trading place: Ripple network (mainly GBC/BTC market)
Requirements: On Ripple grant trust to the correct issuer
Issuer address: rG52A1pZBGER9tCvTdVh3zf1WJokjjVfJu
Options: Tradable against all currencies on Ripple
Guarantee: Price guarantee active below gold backed value
Maximum: Defined by demand, currently expected 13 Mio. GBC

GBC's book building has started. From now on, over a period of 13 days, we will
accept your orders for Gold Backed Coins. You can submit your order here:
http://www.gbc.is/order

 
We will now give you some information that might be of interest to you. First, we
will sum up the most important advantages that GBC offers over other altcoins and
over gold. Then you will be offered information about what will happen after the
book building.

What are the most important advantages of GBC compared to other altcoins?

 
- While the value of most other altcoins is based on nothing but sheer hope, GBC
is secured by physical gold. Because of the full gold backing of 1/10 of an ounce
of gold per coin, the real value of one GBC cannot drop below its gold backed
value.
 
- In case the market price of GBC on the GBC/BTC market were to drop below the
backed value and no other investor were interested in buying the coins for less
than the value they inherently hold, GBC would intervene on the market and buy
back the coins.
 
- While your investment is safe downwards due to GBC's price guarantee, the price
of Gold Backed Coins can rise wherever the market goes. This will be beneficial
for all investors, especially for those who buy their GBC during the book
building at an early stage.
 
- In the future we will provide proof of the amount of gold deposited.
Furthermore, you can watch the amount of GBC issued on the Ripple Graph.

What are the most important advantages of GBC compared to physical gold?

 
- You can convert GBC to other real or virtual currencies quickly and easily
whenever prospective buyers and sellers meet on a market within the Ripple
network. Changing GBC into fiat money is also much cheaper than changing gold
into fiat money.
 
- You can earn money when the market price of the coin rises (and of course, when
the price of gold rises.) Looking at the dynamic of the altcoin markets, the
chances are very high that the price of Gold Backed Coin will significantly
increase.
 
- There is no need to deposit Gold Backed Coins physically because they are
issued and stored within the Ripple network. Furthermore you will also be able to
trade smaller quantities of GBC than are usually available in physical gold at
the gold seller.
 
- Moreover, you are supporting a development that could reduce the general price
risks on the altcoin markets and instead enhance the opportunities for investors
and developers. This might lead to a broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies in
the society.

What will happen after the book building is closed?

 
When the book building has closed, our team will make a calculation to find out
which price level contains the highest order volume. The result of this
calculation will be the book building price at which the Gold Backed Coins will
be sold. If you offered a higher order price, you will be served at the cheaper
price. If your order price was lower, we will send back your BTC (unless you
chose to let them take part in the following book building). In the next step, we
will send your Gold Backed Coins to your Ripple wallet.
 
We are looking forward to serving your order! You can submit your order here:

we are not backing in advance but we are backing the Gold Backed Coins in the moment they are sold. market demand defines the amount of coins issued and backed. the underlying concept of GBC enables  us to deal with small amounts as well as with bigger amounts

If you sold all the coins at this very moment, how would you get 37 tons of gold? I can imagine getting small amounts of gold, but 37 tons?

ad ripple forum: verbal attacks of people with imo quite possible relationship to an iou gold seller and who are willingly ignoring the huge difference between price guarantee and redemption service may not be taken as serious as other critics in this respect. you should take that into account as well.

sorry, i don't get your point. why do you talk about this potential figure as if it would be the most possible amount of coins issued...? Demand will define the number of coins.
and why should GBC sell all gold at the same moment? have you ever experienced that all bitcoin holders sold all of their coins within a moment? GBC offers a price guarantee and we are ready to buy back any amount of GBC if necessary. We can do that because every coin will be backed by the same amount of gold which will be deposited in switzerland.

please read through our website and you will have a lot of questions answered: http://www.gbc.is

Neat idea, but I'm not sure I understand the point.

If you're looking to invest in gold, just buy gold, or gold stocks like the publicly traded GLD.  What advantage does this investment system have over doing either of those?

I am also offering a service. Send me gold and I will also intervene in the market if GBC runs off with the loot...

Yeah I'm going to poke fun at this announcement as central backing of a crypto-currency misses the spirit of the technology.
