Gold Bullions and Precious Metals

#PhysicalGold: Private-to-Private Cross-border Trades

Gold is an immortal, sentimental commodity. Buying, storing and selling real bars of gold instead of digital and paper gold is the most satisfying, but also the most challenging experience. In practice, the most important factor is the anonymity aspect of physical gold. This is the high art of buying no-KYC gold and avoiding any paper trail and registration with any local government. At least that is the most critical aspect for privacy-conscious gold investors. A proper and thoughtful approach will ensure that this does not become an adventure with unknown and unlimited risks.

The gold trading industry is notorious for its vulnerability to swindlers, fraudsters, and counterfeiters. Typical criminal schemes exist, and new methods of crimes are constantly emerging. However, for the savvy investor, not everything that looks strange and exotic is a sign of criminal behavior.

Only physical gold allows a family dynasty to acquire a hidden gold treasure and preserve it for generations. It will survive uncertain times and crises, even catastrophes and revolutions. It is therefore worth giving serious thought to this project and getting started as soon as possible.

BUYING GOLD ANONYMOUSLY

In most countries, it is easy to buy gold as long as the buyer agrees to be surveilled and his gold ownership is registered and monitored by his government. Things get more complicated - and attractive - if the buyer desires to own his precious metals anonymously and outside of know-your-customer restrictions.

THE PHYSICAL GOLD BUYER'S GUIDE

To purchase physical gold in a cross-border transaction is serious business. The buyer is typically surrounded by a swarm of bogus offers from fraudsters. The steps to successfully buying dore, ingots, bars, and bullions therefore start with identifying the pretty obvious red flags, carefully evaluating the sales offer, following a well planned workflow with good knowledge of industrial practices, and understanding and following certain rules and requirements to get the deal done. #howtobuyphysicalgoldabroad

Es gibt aber bessere Wege, Gold legal im Ausland zu kaufen und sicher zu verwahren. Entscheidend ist zu wissen, worauf man sich einlässt und wie man die Kontrolle über den gesamten Prozess behält.

PHYSICAL GOLD OWNERSHIP VS. GOLD TOKEN DIGITAL OWNERSHIP

Gold tokens on the blockchain are a relatively new asset class, and there is a lot of uncertainty about whether they are digital gold or unfulfillable promises with concealed counterparty risks. Some previous market offerings failed. Are the new ones any different or are they fool's gold for crypto millionaires? Just as important, it needs to be understood that not all are created equal. There are good and bad, strong and weak tokenizations targeting the gold token buying markets.
