On this installment of Grade A Nation, Jeremy Cordon, the founder and CEO of Goldback Inc., joins the program. A Goldback is physical gold money that can be used in transactions small and large in several U.S. states.
Jeremy discusses how his time at a Libertarian think tank shaped his views about precious metals, his prior work on a cryptocurrency project Quintric and how that experience influenced the Goldback project, why Goldbacks grew in popularity during the pandemic, whether the viability of the Goldback project long-term is tied to the political choices made by states to recognize gold as legal tender, how much work goes into producing each Goldback, his thoughts about criticisms of the gold standard as a monetary system, and why Goldbacks might have long-term appeal for people beyond the sheer novelty alone in collecting them. You won’t have to worry about panning for gold and coming up empty handed listening to this conversation filled with interesting nuggets of information!
