There was / is a similar service called eGold, which has had problems with hackers and with various governments. You can buy gold ETFs on exchanges, for example GLD. I would not have too large a percentage of my liquid assets in any or all of these...they a likely to freeze up during a financial crisis, or be subject to regulation. I like having bullion type, easily identifiable gold coins in my physical possession. I sold some Maple leafs recently, and they were easy to sell. During a financial crisis, I want both gold and that green folding stuff. Maybe some Euros...
