Please indulge me. You say,
"I pay you over the app, easy stuff, takes half a minute.
You tell me I have now gold of the amount paid.
Fair dos. I then either hold, sell or accumulate more"
Wouldn't the retailer have to opened an account before being able to accept a payment in gold?
Taking this further, if it is just a transfer of gold from the customer to the retailer, couldn't this be done as a ledger transaction negating MasterCard charges for the retailer? (An incentive for the retailer to open an account?). In the B2B2C model all it needs is for wholesale, retail, and the customer to have a gold account into which each can transfer gold along the chain. MasterCard will still have the commission on all transactions converted from gold to cash from those not on the ledger model.
Disruptive, or what?
