In my opinion, even the GUYS AT E-gold don't have a clue what the answer to this is. About A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH of e-gold is spent every day -- every day! To me that is totally astounding! In my opinion, a great many people are getting PAID with e-gold. e-gold for payments is proving very popular with freelancers, particularly computer programmers and graphic artists and the like...people who work "online" anyways. For instance at my own company 3/4 of the employees are paid in gold. So, we have to assume there are just a LOT of people getting paid in gold. The ridiculous HYIP scams probably account for a chunk of the daily "million dollar mystery". BUT it would only be say 1/10th or so, I guess. That still leaves 900,000 a day unaccounted for! Secondly a chunk of that "million dollar mystery" is actually new e-gold coming into the system, ie, when people first buy new egold from an MM. But again surely that wouylod only be 5 or 10% of that "million dollar mystery" Here are the complete list of serious places you can spend your e-gold on the web: http://thegoldcasino.com http://bananagold.com http:// the new magazine site! i forgot the URL already! http://metalproxy.com Hence we can conclude that the above four sites are doing 3/4 million per day!? No! It's a mystery! --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
