Yes, it's easy to dream about holding a bitcoin purchased in it's infancy, but all it takes is one impulse to sell it, thinking you're making out at 5K or 10K.
Is that actually true?
Any token that claims to be backed by physical assets is that - a claim. My assumption is that any claim like that must be true, but unless there's a third party verifying it, I would force myself to be a bit of a skeptic. I suppose as long as the token value matches the gold, it doesn't matter, until gold goes up like a mega-rocket, then it'll put the value to the test.
