Has anyone heard of this? Not to be confused with Nick Szabo's BitGold or BitShares' BitGold, BitGold.com is a website that will be opening in 13 days. Supposedly you will get $20 worth of gold for free if you register your email before the launch. Its business model looks almost exactly the same as E-gold which also let users own and transact online payments denominated in grams of gold. However, that site was shut down a few years ago by the US government so it's interesting to see another company attempting the same idea: BitGold is Launching in 13 days, 21 hours, 6 minutes, and 2 seconds
BitGold's mission is to provide global access to gold for payments and secure savings, making this extraordinary element useful and empowering again.
BitGold provides customers unprecedented simplicity in acquiring, storing, and transacting with fully reserved vaulted gold.
Register your email with BitGold before the countdown ends & we will deposit USD $20 worth of gold into your BitGold Account when we launch. Link: http://www.bitgold.com/Thoughts? Opinions? Here is an article about them on CoinDesk. |

seems like a good to be true offer. Are there any catch about the free $20 offer?

They are more likely asking your passport, utility bills and other docs for $20.  |

You can only withdraw the $20 if you deposit $2000.  |

I guess you have to ask yourself: Is my identity worth more than $20?
Are you signing up for it Bizmark13?
If so, report back and let us know what the catch was...or we can all have a beer and cheer to you for uncovering a nice easy 20 spot

Your identity is worthless. Nobody is giving you $20 for free. |

I did put my email address in but since the site hasn't launched yet, I'm don't know what the catch is. Like most people here, I agree that simply getting $20 for free without any strings attached sounds a bit too good to be true. Perhaps they will make it so that the money can only be withdrawn if you deposit a minimum amount or make a minimum number of trades or something. Or perhaps they will force you to take convoluted steps to verify your ID. Again, I'm not sure. when is its specific launch date?
11 days and 19 hours from now so that would be... Friday, February 13 at 00:00:00 UTC? |

You can only withdraw the $20 if you deposit $2000. That seems very likely, I wouldn't trust it, in fact many of these 'Bitgold' ideas never turn out to be anything because they don't really post up proof of their gold reserves or are getting audited. For all you know they could just be buying gold from legitimate merchants and then posting it. |

I signed up.
But it's probably going to make me deposit like $200 as mentioned above.
