You see I am not always a crank here. I am trying to be positive. I am still curious about the potential Markets that e-gold could serve, not necesarily just the technical services that e-gold can provide. I hope everyone sees the distinction. e-gold can do a lot of things that are probably not practical to market to. I still believe that e-gold capital gains problems make it an impractical tool for US companies that don't see a huge gain in handling e-gold transactions. I still think marketing e-gold as a safe high-tech way of buying and selling gold is the best option for e-gold. People buy into a commodity knowing that they will experience capital gains problems. Just as with any investment. Are their any other target markets that e-gold would fit into no without forcing the commercial user to invest in new software, technology, personnel, or new accounting procedures? > > > >Potential e-gold Markets that are available now and require no investment by > >the business user in complex accounting systems (I am going to be as all > >encompassing as possible here and encourage people to add categories): > > > >1.
