Darrell MacMullin, CEO of BitGold and former President of PayPal Canada, is the main guest on the radio program.
At a time when banks are preparing for bail-ins to shore up their balance sheets, reallocating savings as possible outside of the banking system may be prudent. BitGold has the potential to become “PayPal on steroids,” the steroid being gold. Its value, unlike fiat money, does not require healthy banks. Combined with modern technology BitGold leads to a less expensive payment system than PayPal.
With a PayPal-like technology in hand and using gold to reduce transaction costs, BitGold not only provides you with a legally safe option outside an increasingly dangerous banking system, but it has the potential to richly reward investors in BitGold’s parent, GoldMoney (T-XAU/USOTC-BTGDF). We will look to Darrell to explain BitGold’s many services for consumers as well as the company’s business prospects.

Chen Lin, had been a doctoral candidate in aeronautical engineering at Princeton. However, Chen found his investment strategies were so profitable that he put his Ph.D. on the back burner to devote full time to private investing and writing a newsletter titled “What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling?” Chen’s track record has been phenomenal! In one account we track in which he used no leverage, he was able to grow $5,411 starting in 2002 to over $2.2 million by the end of 2012.
