Still not sure if it is a scam or legit. Too new of a company to buy gold and let them store it. To redeem gold, you pay a $25 fee plus shipping and insurance which would be too much for me.

If YOU don't hold it YOU don't own it.

I read the Legal documentation on their web site. While official sounding enough, a couple things jump out at me. For starters, the formatting looks like something I could have put together myself in a standard document editor. The other thing is that there is a fair amount of wording around their click links and banners, and how you are allowed to use them. It reminds me of when I used to work for a free internet provider during the dot.com bubble, a technology company trying to squeeze money out of advertising. FWIW that company I worked for went bankrupt owing over a $million to MCI for the free internet we were giving out without a profitable business model which was solely dependent on advertising. Not exactly apples to apples here, but it has the same feel to me.

I think scrapman has it right. Digital gold undermines the inherent properties of physical gold that makes it an attractive investment for me.
