TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Goldmoney Inc. (TSX:XAU) (US:XAUMF) (“Goldmoney”) (“the Company”), a precious metal financial service and technology company, today announced the release of a new white paper by Goldmoney CEO Roy Sebag: “Drop Gold and The Myths We’re Told – A Naturalist’s Exposition of Gold’s Manifest Superiority to Bitcoin as Money”.
The white paper addresses recent statements and representations made by Grayscale Investments, LLC (“Grayscale”) and its principal, Barry Silbert, through an advertorial campaign entitled: “DropGold”. The paper examines the natural properties of bitcoin and gold and highlights several proofs for why gold is superior to bitcoin as money.
1. Bitcoin, far from being weightless or virtual, is in actuality
physically heavier than gold.
2. Bitcoin occupies more volumetric
space than gold.
3. Gold is more value dense than bitcoin.
4.
Bitcoin needs gold to exist, gold doesn’t need bitcoin to exist.
“It is my hope that the Bitcoin community will embrace this research and a shared understanding that the gold and cryptocurrency communities should be working together rather than against each other as we march towards the inevitable demise of the fiat currency system,” said Roy Sebag, CEO of Goldmoney.
