When the obvious purpose is to outline the strengths of gold stocks in gain maximization, and some virtual gold/hedging expert weighs in like this.
Let me repeat the ridiculously simple, but best advice on topic.
You buy gold physically to store purchasing power, or in the form of mining stocks to accomodate more speculative greed. Futures are a third option for day traders. Other forms of gold offered on markets at best duplicate the strengths and weaknesses of simple instruments but with more middlemen involved.
Or buy some shitcoin backed by gold. Both work well until the music stops.
There is no argument to buy up virtual gold in the form of Deposit Certificates even from the most reputable Swiss banks.
Deposit Certificates significantly outnumber the units of gold they claim to represent. The industry should have already learned its lessons from 1971 USD peg removal. But there's still a deluded opportunist, every now-and-then, who thinks that the private, often shady and unknown ultimate issuers of gold Deposit Certificates will do a more honest job than the U.S. government.

the audacity to mention US GOV & honesty in the same sentence after 2008
I am not associated with any of those,
it was just a opinion based on my humble knowledge.
I was referring to digital gold tokens since you brought up the “storage fee” and security concerns in your first reply, and yet have to hear someone not being able to cash out or exchange those into physical gold in the most prestigious financial jurisdictions such as Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
I don’t see any intermediaries more than you would see for any other instrument or product in the markets, but you’re the expert I guess, the one that receives insider trading tips before Powell shops gold.
Apologies mi Federal Reserve lord..
