After overwhelming demand we have officially, as of today, launched in the United States!

US citizens can now create a free BitGold account within minutes and have instant access to gold. If you have already begun your registration simply pick up where you left off at the mobile verification stage of the registration.

With a BitGold account users are able to purchase gold within 1% of the official market price and store it for free in one of many Brink’s locations around the world. At this time US users will not be able to send or receive gold payments on the platform, but we look forward to offering this and additional features in the future. Any updates on availability of features will be announced via email, social and on our blog.

Good things come to those who wait!

To show our excitement we are offering 0.25g (approx. $9) of free gold in our BitGold Golden Heart™ referral program. We know that no one can tell our story better than our users, so we designed the BitGold Golden Heart™ program to reward you and your friends with free gold for sharing the experience.

Simply click on the Golden Heart icon in the top right corner to find your unique referral link. Share this link with friends and family and we will reward you with 0.25 grams of gold for every new person you sign onto the network. The sharing doesn’t stop there; we’ll also give all the new users 0.25 grams of gold to get started.

Have lots of friends? Invite them all. There is no limit to the number of people you can invite. Feel free to take advantage of the BitGold Golden Heart™ referral program and spread the word via email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or SMS.

We are also launching a number of updates to the BitGold platform this week. Check out all of the details here
