but right now I'm helping people buy gold and silver that we're going to tokenize.
So once you have the gold, you'll have the ability to withdraw it either in a physical form or in the form of a token.

Somebody in the United States can make a purchase instantly
from somebody in australia and pay them instantly with gold you don't have to send the actual gold to australia you just send the token which represents ownership of that gold if you have the token then the gold belongs to you and so if i want to give you my gold i don't have to drive down to the vault grab some of it and and bring it to you no i just send you the token
And now you own the gold.
Just like paper money, when paper used to circulate, whoever had the paper had ownership of the gold.
The paper currency was titled to gold.

So if I sell you a gold token and that's like an IOU, it's an IOU for gold.
