Apparently teh fact that I sent them my drivers...   Tags: egold, e-gold, social security number   Member: TheWatcher | 55 Snaps

E-gold comeback…Is it real? | PL: 25  Category: News | Comments (0) 2008-08-26 21:38:56 Natural size E-gold comeback…Is it real? ”It’s unreal!” – will say every second person. According to the estimates of the ECJ specialists the comeback of E-gold is unlikely in the near and the longer term. It was proven that the trials usually last for months and even the success may have a pernicious influence in the future. And we shouldn’t forget that e-gold can rise from the ashes only if it will offer the market either something absolutely new or provide all the guarantees of its further ability to work.

Do you know who competes against PayPal (and I use this term very loosely, since they dominate the market)? I did a search just a few minutes to see who’s in business still, and which ones have gone by the wayside. It’s a volatile market - very few companies that start up in that space are reputable, or if they are they aren’t well funded enough to stay in business until they gain traction. In fact, most of them are so obscure or little known that the closest...   Tags: egold, e-gold   Member: TheWatcher | 55 Snaps
