My good friend @goldmatters is running a great contest...to describe what you think Goldmoney is and what role gold and silver plays in your investment strategy.
You can enter the contest here: https://steemit.com/contest/@goldmatters/what-in-the-world-s-goldmoney-500-steem-giveaway-part-i
I also posted an earlier Goldmoney review here: https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@jbcoin/my-new-goldmoney-holdings-account-hold-real-gold-and-silver-investments
But for the contest, let's step back in time a bit. Maybe 40 years... My dad was a coin collector and silver stacker from way back. He is no longer with us, but he taught me early on the difference between "bank notes" and "real money".
He taught me that silver and gold cannot be changed, or manipulated.
When I'd finish an extra special tough chore, he would offer me a crisp One Dollar bill, but just as I was about to grab it....he'd say "or do you want this real silver quarter" instead?
As you probably have guessed, young @jbcoin nabbed that Standing Liberty Quarter instead. And still has it to this day.
Me and my Dad spent countless hours searching piles of Lincolns looking for those elusive wheat cents....searched hundreds of dime rolls until we found those 3 solid rolls of Mercury dimes one day....Searched endless quarter rolls until we found that solid 1959 bank roll.
This was all done on a $160 salary, so all bank rolls were promptly re-rolled and back to the bank before 12:00....or Mom got involved.
WHY? Because we both understood that the "Real Money" was what came before.
BEFORE the 1933 confiscation of Real Gold as the currency of this nation.
BEFORE the change in 1965 to coinage that contained no sillver.
BEFORE the U.S. announced itself as the World's Reserve Currency and began the debt cycle.
Were we changing the world? Nope. But we were doing what we could to protect what little assets we had at that time.
My Dad's house payment was $117 for a brand new house on an acre of land. To be honest, he was scared shitless to sign that mortgage too.
$117 every single month was crazy talk to a factory worker in '72. He did it on faith. Faith that although he wasn't educated, he knew a lot about gold, silver, and the value of "real assets".
He busted his ass to make money any way that he could....coins, vintage ephimera, stamps, guns, or antiques.
Although he had recently passed away, I paid my Dad's last mortage payment for him in 1990, with the cash from an Uncirculated Morgan Dollar that he had given to me.
My Grandson just gave me the best compliment ever last weekend. He said "Grandpa, I just want to have a REAL silver coin to put in my box...like a real one, that's made of real silver". That's what it's all about right there.
Gold and Silver are a hedge against inflation, but also a long term insurance policy. No matter what life throws at you, no matter what hardships you endure, no matter what political decisions are made...this is your money and your liquid asset. You own it.
Gold and silver are known and accepted worldwide. For centuries, these have been the only "real money". They stand the test of time.
Goldmoney makes it easy for you to open a Goldmoney Holding account. Once you fund your account, using a bank account, credit card, Paypal or Bank Wire, you can begin to build your Gold or Silver portfolio at your own pace. You can buy an ounce of gold or silver, or a just a single gram!
Goldmoney stores your physical gold and silver bars in insured and audited vaults. This is not an ETF (electronically traded fund). Your gold and silver are locked in a vault. Real assets!
You can receive a Goldmoney Credit Card, that is backed by your physical gold and silver account. If you wish to spend the profits from your investment, you can, on everyday needs.
If you would like to receive your Gold or Silver in physical form, you can request bars or the famous Goldmoney 10 gram cubes!
I have signed up for a Goldmoney Holding and hope to grow my account gradually, over time.
With the never ending cycle of Government debt and Government endorsed Austerity measures, the current debt based system is unsustainable.
Protect your wealth, protect your family, and protect your standard of living by diversifying into hard assets like Gold and Silver.
You don't have to be rich to start a Goldmoney account. You just have to have the foresight to begin saving today...for what you WILL need tomorrow. There is no minimum amount to begin.

Hello @jbcoin Indeed a very heart felt experience and no wonder you won. Congratulations! one for your winning entry and secondly for preserving the value of saving and investing for a lifetime and for the family. Most importantly it is the passing of the knowledge and the values of investment that got passed on to you and which you are passing on to your grandson. Truly the advice is very valuable. Goodluck
