 “upon purchasing Mina, a client gets added as a discretionary beneficiary to an express trust, which manages a pool of gold bullion held in reserve to support the currency’s value.

A distributed, centralized crypto-currency?   Hmmmmm. Sounds like the crypto-part is added to take advantage of the press.  :-)

I think all these experiments are great, but having it centralized and thus seizable seems to turn an advantage into a disadvantage. Time will tell though!
