the Digital
Currencies
(e-gold, e-bullion,

Reserve,
ePassporte,
webmoney)
Basically all
digital
currencies are
in fact “online
payment systems”
allowing you to
transfer
instantaneously
some value to an
individual or a
company located
anywhere in the
world. This
transfer could
be a simple gift
or a payment for
an object or a
service that you
want to get.
Main advantages:
-
They are
borderless.
A transfer
can be sent
to anyone in
the world.
-
Transfers
are
instantaneous,
no waiting
for checks
to clear or
credits to
be made
-
Transactions
fees are
lower than
credit cards
and banks.
-

chargeback
anymore. "Get
paid, stay
paid" unlike
credit card
payments.

What is the main
difference
between digital
currencies?
The main
difference
between digital
currencies is
the way they are
accounted. Some
are simply
accounted in a
specific
national
currency and
some others are
accounted in
weight of metal
like gold or
silver.
For example
“E-bullion e-currency”
and “Liberty
Reserve USD” are
accounted in USD.
So if you have
an “E-bullion e-currency”
account with a
balance amount
of 500 then your
account value is
500$USD.
However if you
have an e-gold,
e-bullion gold,
c-gold or
Pecunix account
which is
accounted in
weight of metal
then its balance
amount is a
number of units
of metal not a
number of a
national
currency. That
is to say that
if you have an
e-gold account
with a balance
amount of 500 it
means that you
have 500 troy oz
of gold. The
equivalent
current fiat (national
currency) values
are displayed
for reference
only, and will
fluctuate with
the current
market price
Although digital
metal currencies
are accounted by
weight, their
payment system
allows a value
transfer to be
expressed in
terms of
different
national
currencies. For
example, it is
possible to:
-
Transfer 5
troy oz
worth of e-gold
-
Transfer 4.3
grams worth
of e-gold
-
Transfer US
$300.00
worth of e-gold
-
Transfer CHF
985.88 worth
of e-gold
This means that
an American can
pay an
Australian or a
Japanese can pay
an Spanish the
correct weight
of gold for a
good or service
as easily as if
the price had
been quoted in
his own national
currency.
Advantages of
Digital Gold
Currencies over
national
currencies
By definition
Money is
anything that
functions as a
medium of
exchange that is
socially and
legally accepted
in payment for
goods and
services and in
settlement of
debts.
But, what makes
a money better
than another one?
Simple, its
capacity to keep
its purchasing
power.
Therefore Gold
is still the
best money in
the world. It
exists for
nearly three
thousand years
as a medium of
exchange and on
a long period of
time it keeps
its purchasing
power contrarily
to any other
national paper
currencies that
see their
purchasing power
reduce by
inflation.
So keeping your
assets in Gold
in the best way
to protect it
against
inflation and
thus keep your
purchasing power
year after year.
However carrying
gold in not
practical as a
form of payment,
but thanks to
internet and
digital gold
currencies that
brought us the

amount of gold
