An Introduction To Egold

An Introduction To Egold
There is an old cliché that goes along the lines of
"what is old is new again." This cliché, like many
clichés, has a certain sense of truth to it. For
example, remember in the old pirate movies where the hero
would purchase things using gold coins? Well, that old
school method of purchasing is back! No, you do not have to
carry gold dablooms around in a sack as the whole process
has been modernized. Now, thanks to an internet service
called Egold the ability to make payments/receive payments
in gold can be processed over the internet electronically.
Yes, gold is back in a big way!

When the internet first started to grow significantly in
the late 1990's, many people forecasted that this would
have a significant effect on the world of commerce. While
these forecasts were, in general, true they were also
significantly underestimated. Today, the amount of internet
commerce that occurs has greatly expanded far beyond many
people's wildest dreams. In addition to all sorts of retail
and small business sales, a significant volume of banking
and financial transactions occur online as well. This has
led to many unique and innovative examples of variants on
traditional wire transfers and credit card and debit card
payments. One such unique and innovative financial transfer
service is Egold and it is growing rapidly in popularity by
the day. There are some, however, who may not have heard of
Egold yet and for these individuals a proper introduction
to Egold is necessary.

By its own definition, Egold is "electronic currency" that
is backed by gold reserves. In other words, the financial
transfers processed by Egold are back by the company's gold
bullion reserves and the payments that on makes are
essentially the electronic transfers of gold itself! The
way these transfers work is that one opens an account with
Egold and then transfers monetary value of gold to merchant
accounts that accept Egold payments. Of course, one could
also open a merchant account and receive payments as well
in the same manner other common online transaction services
operate.

There are a number of benefits to using Egold as a
financial transaction service and the most important of all
the benefits is that payment is instantaneous. That is to
say, there is no need to wait for a check to clear or
credits to be applied. All transfers are immediate and this
expedites the processing of all purchases made through
Egold. Additionally, because Egold trades in gold as its
currency it is the easiest to system for use on a worldwide
basis and is not reliant on currency conversions when
transferring funds for international purchases. In fact,
Egold credits can not be bought or sold in the form of any
national currency. It is gold bullion and it stays gold
bullion!

Of course, this brings about the question as to how one can
convert Egold into hard currency. The answer to this is
that there are a number of "exchange services" that can
remit gold into currency. The way in which Egold is
remitted varies and includes tried and true methods such as
cutting a check or money order, wire transfers, or even
credit card adjustments. As such, when you need to "cash
out" your Egold deposits there will be little difficulty in
converting it to cash.

Egold is a novel, unique and innovative means of internet
payment services. Its unique nature and user friendly
service will surely allow it to grow in popularity. Perhaps
in time it may even overtake some of the more popular forms
of online transaction services such as Paypal and Firepay.
This makes it a company well worth keeping an eye on.
