“The fact that that being paid in gold likely sounds crazy to most of your friends and neighbors suggests something is seriously wrong with the western economy you live in. But down in Singapore, one company is doing just that. My friend Torgny Persson at Bullionstar now offers his employees the chance to be paid directly in gold, whether that means conveniently stored in their high-security vault or taking physical possession. Bullionstar is the first company in Singapore – the world’s second freest economy – to pay its workers in gold, and the idea seems to be catching on. It’s good news for gold lovers and for the future of emerging continents like Asia.”
