This just doesn't work.
I thought Bitgold was a good idea because I like to have some of my cash in gold. Since I made a deposit I have found that there is no way I can access my cash. We have no Canadian credit card, I cannot write a cheque, and if I ask for my deposit back they will send me some gold which I have to sell at a discount; plus i pay an additional fee to have it sent to me.
This just doesn't work.
Get a Canadian Card.
