One of my previous professional working experiences was in the financial advisory industry. While my professional training was in financial planning and advisory, I was also exposed to alternative investments in the financial industry that were of strong interest to me too, one of them was gold investments.<\/p>\n
This area of gold investments, is probably not as well publicised nor well known to the public. It is not as widely and openly traded in the mass consumer markets versus at the institutional level. Nonetheless, I reckon there are a small group of consumers in the market who have invested in gold and there are more who wish to have started investing in gold investments.<\/p>\n
Most recently, I received information on this new company Copernicus Gold setting up their headquarters office in Singapore. I was very interested to learn more about them, a combination of a traditional alternative investment product (gold) with modern technology using Blockchain.<\/p>\n
In my article, I am sharing more about Copernicus Gold and their new digital payments system linked to gold. Please do your own due diligence, read up more about investing, alternative investing, gold investments before you start any form of investing in the financial markets.<\/p>\n
I have started to read up more about them and what they do, they have a pretty good FAQ on their website<\/a> for those who have queries in your mind on what they do and how they do it. Personally, I hope to learn more in-depth about them and share more articles on investing in gold, that is now more openly available and easier to do in Singapore.<\/p>\n If you like to know more about Copernicus Gold, check out the various Copernicus Gold links below to their website and social media channels:<\/p>\n Let me share with you more about their new digital payments system linked to gold from their press release information below:<\/p>\n Copernicus Gold<\/a> offers a reliable global system for gold trade that is simple, of mass, and is cheap; solving, for the first time, Gresham\u2019s Law which states that \u2018bad money drives out good\u2019.<\/p>\n For instance, if there are two forms of commodity money in circulation and both are accepted by law as having similar face value, the more valuable of the two will disappear from circulation. For example, from the 1920s to today, fiat currency drove out gold backed currency, simply because a few who could have wanted to own all the gold.<\/p>\n By developing formulae based on a strict mathematical statement of the necessary size of the company\u2019s gold reserve, Copernicus Gold has determined and been granted a patent by the US Patent Office for an algorithm that forms the basis of a global payments system business model, linking a digital asset or currency to a reserve of a commodity such as gold. The algorithm ensures that the reserve of the commodity is at an optimal level to fulfil all incoming orders, as well as to issue, and maintain in reserve, sufficient amount of that commodity, in this case gold, and currencies based on several general requirements.<\/p>\n Professor Vladmir Nikolaevich Frolov, the founder of Copernicus Gold says, \u201cThe mathematical model, or algorithm, accounts for the market price of gold, the bullions\u2019 weight and other conditions. This ensures that the amount held in reserve is satisfactory for operational continuity, plus avoids the emission of unreasonably large or insufficient amounts of electronic gold.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n As such, Copernicus Gold has launched a global payments system of digital gold, which is linked to a store of gold bullion in Singapore.<\/strong><\/span> The system operates as a cloud-based multi-currency platform<\/strong><\/span> that issues digital gold in any measure<\/strong><\/span>, enabling anyone, anywhere, to acquire, save or pay with digital gold<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n PATENT ISSUED<\/p>\n Copernicus Gold has successfully lodged and been granted a patent for its mathematical model by the US Patent Office. The patent was granted for a \u201cSystem and method for issuance of electronic currency substantiated by a reserve of assets\u201d. The invention is classified as an electronic currency and particularly, a system for, and the means of, using currency issuance and circulation, where the value of the currency is backed by a material reserve.<\/p>\n GOLD RESERVES<\/p>\n To substantiate the issue of digital gold, Copernicus Gold stores gold bullion in a vault at Freeport in Singapore<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n Significantly, the speed at which transactions are made \u2013 the faster the circulation of funds \u2013 means that less gold is needed for the financial system\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n Rapidly transferring payments offline (into bank accounts) decreases the need for circulating funds, which means less gold is needed and that the risk of failure to pay is avoided. Critically, this also relaxes the requirements of reserves of the commodity, such as gold, or any other commodity, as transactions that occur online take far less time to complete than those of existing payment systems.<\/p>\n In this sense, Copernicus Gold offers a revolutionary system to overcome Gresham\u2019s Law, by providing a currency system that circulates gol<\/span>d<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n BLOCKCHAIN<\/p>\n To enable operations, Copernicus Gold uses cutting edge, proprietary private blockchain to hold a transaction and financial instrument ledger with a powerful API that enables secure, transparent and safe real-time transactions at the speed of several hundred transactions per second, with the potential for greater speed.<\/p>\n The transactions are safe because there is no single transaction core in the blockchain. Instead, each node can potentially participate in processing transactions, which protects the system more than any system with a centralised core. Moreover, the authors of the system imposed the strictest known operation reliability and stability requirements on the system.<\/p>\n The company also offers open API<\/a> that can be integrated into existing transaction systems and will permit fully automated payment settlements in digital gold.<\/p>\n SINGAPORE<\/p>\n Copernicus Gold chose to headquarter its operations in Singapore, as it is one of the world\u2019s strictest jurisdictions for financial trade.<\/strong><\/span> The company operates as Copernicus Gold Singapore Pte. Ltd. which is registered as a stored value facility.<\/p>\n The CEO for Copernicus Gold Singapore Pte Ltd, Sergei Vozchikov says, \u201cCopernicus Gold do not offer physical gold in exchange for payment<\/strong><\/span>. We do not issue loans or work in speculative markets, nor place client money in any tools<\/strong><\/span>. Instead, our system allows for transactions with two types of assets: digital gold and digital currencies (at present USD, EURO, SGD).<\/strong><\/span> The digital currency is linked to the currency kept in our bank accounts and similarly, the digital gold is secured by gold bullions kept in a vault in Singapore Freeport.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMoreover, your money is secure,\u201d he adds, as \u201cBeing based in Singapore, we are required to identify our customers and conduct a financial monitoring procedure in full compliance with the requirements of the supervisory authorities.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Copernicus Gold is available on the web<\/a>, or as an iOS application<\/a> for iPad and iPhone as well as an Android application<\/a> for tablets and smartphones. The app can operate on any GSM phone as the system uses USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) to issue authentication codes.<\/p>\n * Information courtesy of Copernicus Gold *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of my previous professional working experiences was in the financial advisory industry.
