Certified Gold Exchange Confirms No Plans for Gold-Backed Crypto-Currency
Bitcoin and other “crypto-currencies” - including Dogecoin, Litecoin, Mastercoin, Namecoin and Peercoin - are fighting for market share, and some believe a currency based on gold is the best way to stabilize a non-governmental type of money.

Following the July 16 publication of a Reuters article outlining one company’s plans for a gold-backed crypto-currency, there have been rumors of other gold dealers jumping into the fray. The Certified Gold Exchange will not be one of those gold dealers, however, according to company spokesperson Janet Jones.
“We are a physical gold coin and bullion discount dealer. Our institutional and household clients appreciate the safety and value of privately-held gold investments, not shady computer-based equations that are supposedly based on the gold spot price,” said Jones from her Fort Worth, TX office. “Everyone saw what happened to Bitcoin’s value after one Bitcoin exchange folded, so what’s to keep something similar from happening to a company brokering a ‘gold-backed’ online currency?”
