I take the old-fashioned view of gold: If you can't stand in front of it, and defend it with an AR-15, then you don't own it.
In other words, find a way to be able to buy and hide your physical gold.
If Bitgold ever defaults (like during a gold price reset to $50,000...), then the BEST you could hope for would be cash settlement, and that would be at a lower price (before the sudden reset).
Holding your gold close is just so much better.

This makes sense.
If they are a scam it should be know, but in the mean time buy gold directly.
There are many places these day where you can buy gold, even with bitcoin.
Bitgold isn't just about buying gold, there are plenty of good places to do so, it's about using gold as a currency easily.
check out digix.io - they just started to trade real gold backed tokens on ethereum blockchain. that's how it should be, not via a shady centralized website.

I'd have to agree with this.
Why bother trusting them? You can literally just buy gold. It just seems too easy. Also, the 1st time posters coming on here to give a huge in-depth review only raises my suspicions.

I signed up once & had around $60 worth of 'Gold' on there. My phone broke & I lost the SIM trying to move it so I didn't have access to the number I used to signup, so I couldn't log in. I contacted support and they wouldn't help, said that they couldn't do anything about it. Never signed up again because it still asks for a number to sign up & that's annoying because I don't have one anymore :-(
I think that this is permanent loss, although the loss of clock or credit cards and so on, but if you take into account that there is a service of Internet-Bank, it is likely something can be done on other data, for example, checking a Bank account or something, but I think it's not a mistake of the service, but some drawbacks still there and it is likely that assistance was not given in consequence of omissions in the rules that they advice such cases to provide, although

I'd like to see more opinions about this matter please (from people who used it only) . Newbies and Junior members reviews won't be taken seriously because they could be different alternative accounts for Bitgold themselves .So please guys try to not spam the topic a lot and only give reviews if you used the company before .
The only thing these guys had going for them was the referral program..
Many scam like behaviours to me:
Lucrative viral marketing campaign they had no intention of honouring (takes back money after being cleared for many months).
Lot of promises of safety, but no proof in law (as seen above - they can just take it).
Hard to get money in and out for most of the world.
Willing to change terms retrospectively when it suits them (and never to their own cost).
And finally - shitting on people that helped them out in their referral program is pretty nasty.
If you want gold, there are many cheaper and less risky ways.

Hello! As my username suggests, my name is Melanie and I am the VP of Customer Success at BitGold. I made this account to respond to the thread you have referenced in your original post a couple months ago. There was a lot of confusion there, so I provided a brief response and advised posters on how they can contact us to ask any questions they might have ([email protected]).
I understand that you want to hear from more established members of this forum, and that I carry an obvious bias as an employee, so I'm just here to provide a few resources that you and others might find helpful.
The accusations that we are a "scam" are coming from those who have tried to take advantage of our referral program, which is prohibited in our Terms of Service. This program will be updated to further discourage abuse of the program, as is discussed here:
Update to the Golden Heart Referral Program from BitGold CEO Darrell MacMullin - community.bitgold.com/discussion/468/

I think the site and the company itself is not a scam. they are truly legit.
http://mysuccessonlinemarketing.com/is-bitgold-a-scam-my-review-and-thoughts-on-it
But, as any new company dealing with bitcoin the risks are pretty high and so you need to decide if its worth it to invest.

you can't even withdraw bitcoin. it's only throwing bitcoin at them.

To a certain extent they're scam since its a legit company.Now cryptsy was a legit company too until they scammed.The thing about such companies which offer virtual investments is,they aren't publicly shared or limited (such as stocks/public investment options).Therefore it's always a high probability of them dumping everything and burn the data .Since the investors have invested on their own risks,a public petition would hardly matter in the court .I would not be surprised if bitgold is called a Ponzi which will dump its users someday.
From what I have seen,the site is not scam but they way it works ,its not meant to guarantee you any profits.Because everything is just virtual and if you want to buy out or ship your order,the shipping charges involved are as good as the actual price of the gold you're importing.Ofcourse you wouldn't wanna ship,in other words,it simply means they're keeping your investments hooked on to the site with false hopes.This is just too good marketing .Not a scam though.
After some serious research and due diligence, I joined BitGold in November 2015 and have appreciated everything that it has allowed me to do. I have bought grams of gold, redeemed some to the Gold Money card, invited people via the Golden Heart and affiliate programs, sent gifts of gold, engaged in the community forum, and much more. It is the real deal.
all I see are brand new sockpuppets shilling for this site. doesn't make it look more legit
+1.
Less legit, if anything. The first one is embarrassing.
Hey BitGold, your social media manager is a moron.
absolutely. they probably got a google alert setup and jump on every forum thread to shill. this is literally the worst PR management in history
not scam. atleast i never heard such a word for bitgold from any of its users so far.
