There’s nothing like doing your civic duty as a juror.... and turning it into gold! Most of the time when a juror summons appears in the mailbox, its a moment of panic....Not when you can turn your Civic Duty into Gold with Goldmoney!
Court is a serious place, I made sure to wear my fancy Goldmoney shirt: note the button.
Waiting in the jury pool can be tedious. Thankfully there are wildly entertaining juror instruction documentaries to watch.
After several grueling days of narrowing down the juror pool, I was selected as a juror.
Thankfully a Starbucks was close by so I could keep working on my personal mission to spread the word of Goldmoney during my lunch breaks.
Speaking of lunch, one of the bright spots of being on the jury was our amazing judge, who actually BAKED for us!
Several times!
The fine officers securing the courthouse got particular amusement out of the Goldmoney Gold card as it went through their X ray machine every day. The Goldmoney gold card can be seen here on vacation in Maui earlier this year here:
Learn more about this 18k gold card here: https://www.goldmoney.com/w/goldmatters
When jury duty finally ended, I got a huge payday for all the time and effort of getting up and driving to court each day!
What to do with this massive bounty?
The only logical thing would be to put it into the worlds oldest and best form of money... gold! Gold has ascended as money through every civilization because of its natural and physical properties.
Here’s is how I did it....
After depositing the check to my bank,
I transferred an equal amount from PayPal to my Goldmoney Holding. Then I used the proceeds to buy gold.
Selected a vault.
Confirmed.
The gold is now owned by me. This is not a cryptocurrency ( disclaimer: I have no problem with cryptocurrency : https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@goldmatters/when-everyone-makes-fun-of-you-for-being-a-bitcoin-for-halloween ) or “paper gold”, or an ETF. This is physical, allocated gold, silver, platinum or palladium bullion that I know own in these secure vaults. It is redeemable, insured, and audited.
After being fed by the judge, (who even taught us stretches during the breaks,) paid by the county, buying some gold....jury duty wasn’t so bad after all.
So next time you see a juror summons in the mail... think like this: 
There could be gold at the end!
Thanks for reading.

IF YOU DON'T HOLD IT, YOU DON'T OWN IT!!!
That being said, having your own personal "Gold Backed" account would be a good thing, meaning you will benefit greatly in the much anticipated GOLD BULL run, if it happens in nearly any future economic scenario short of SHTF, TEOTWAWKI, or WROL. I need to look into this more, but first I need a new iPhone to run my cryptos and GoldMoney Accounts :D
Please pontificate on converting daily operating expenses and bill paying monie$ into GOLD for short term holdings, if you have time? I think the price of GOLD is relatively stable, but I do believe the markets are manipulated lower than they should be. Due to THIS:
I also believe the 2011 run up was normal market activity, until the manipulators regained control. Gold Price was screaming towards the true market values as seen in the graphic above! Silver also hit $50 in the overnight markets (Asia) earlier that year. Gold reached $1921 iirc...

Thanks for reading. :) yep its best to hold gold over long periods of time as savings and wealth preservation vehicle. Gold is not meant to earn you a ROI. For that you must take on risk and that can be done through equities. I would never try and trade physical gold. Thanks for checking out my blog! :)

Thank you so much for reading!! Yes jury duty is mandatory in the US. You would laugh at the lengths people go to to get out of it. People have all kinds of wild stories to avoid having to do it. I will say it can be quite disruptive to work, imagine having to be in court for unknown lengths of time and unable for the most part to access the internet. Some cases go on for months!

Is buying something with your Goldmoney card a "taxable event" in the USA if the gold that you originally had bought had went up in value by the time you converted it back to fiat to load your Goldmoney card? Also, are the vault fees you pay deductible on your taxes to Uncle Sam at the end of the year? Also, if tax basis is an issue in the US, does Goldmoney help you keep track of it?
