Since joining the EU, Portugal, my country, has sold, without public consent, more than half it's gold reserves, going from over 800 metric tonnes down to around 300. Portugal was number 1 on gold per citizen and number 1 on gold per square mile.

Bitshares teamed up with the UPMA to create a gold-backed token (along with a silver option) that can be transfered in seconds with minimal fees, and privately and publicly audited. Along with the Bitshares exchange's smart assets, bitUSD, bitEUR, and others, the Quint is now part of the most advanced, decentralized, financial system in the world, accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
