Everybody should think like that. Out of curiosity, in your opinion, what would be the best method of funding accounts? Let's assume somebody wanted to develop the ultimate funding system, what would work? When Standard Reserve was in it's embryo stage, we discussed the issues with the gold economy, and all agreed it was getting money out of the system. So we implemented a debit card (being delivered next week). Now, as we are into the gold economy, I have found two other issues that are as important - merchants to accept gold and easier, more secure and less expensive methods of funding. We are working on the first, and I have made the second my personal challenge this year. The existing funding methods work well for the 160,000 or so members of the gold economy - those who know it, and can tolerate it. But it won't grow and become a major force in the world. What about the kzillion others out there? How do we convert them to gold? The present concept - open an account, go to an agent or market maker and fund your account, wait days until your funds clear, and pay high fees for this privilege - seems contrary to doing business. Or am I guilty of thinking like a typical US-centric person (at least this time I can't be accused of coming from NYC <g>). What are your thoughts? Think outside the box. We are talking about the ultimate system.
