The Gold Meets Bitcoin Revolution
In a stunning twist that combines the old and the new, Quadriga CX, based in Canada, is transforming the way we think about digital currency by introducing gold trading into the Bitcoin sphere. This innovative exchange is betting that gold isn’t just for your grandmother’s jewelry box, but also for your cryptocurrency wallet! Crazy, right?
Why Gold?
According to Quadriga CX’s founders, Mike Patryn and Gerald Cotten, the inspiration behind this unique offering was to allow users to trade Bitcoin without depending on fiat currency or traditional banking systems. Patryn said, “We wanted to provide a more unique service.” Now that’s what we call a forward-thinking approach!
How It Works
Users can now deposit or withdraw funds in gold bullion, with the option of having it shipped directly to their door or picked up in person (because who doesn’t want to flaunt their gold in front of their friends?). All gold deposits are secured in the exchange’s vault–but don’t ask what the security system looks like; we hear it’s top secret!
Progress So Far
As of the latest market reports, Quadriga CX’s gold-to-Bitcoin exchange has been live since early May with just a handful of trades recorded. It may be a slow start, but hey, Rome wasn’t built in a day—or was it a Bitcoin empire? Either way, they’re on their way!
What About the Competition?
While Quadriga CX is the first of its kind in Canada, it’s not alone in this shiny venture. Other exchanges like Bullion Bitcoin in London and Coinabul are already in the game, allowing users to trade gold and silver for Bitcoin. It seems the gold rush is here—just don’t get caught in the dust storm!
The Exchange Rates
For those keeping score at home, the current conversion rates are approximately 2.901 bitcoins for a troy ounce of gold, with silver sitting pretty at 0.043 bitcoins per troy ounce. So, don’t just throw it out there in the ether, know your conversions if you want to cash in!
