There’s nothing like doing your civic duty as a juror.... and turning it into gold! Most of the time when a juror summons appears in the mailbox, its a moment of panic....Not when you can turn your Civic Duty into Gold with Goldmoney!
Court is a serious place, I made sure to wear my fancy Goldmoney shirt: note the button.
Waiting in the jury pool can be tedious. Thankfully there are wildly entertaining juror instruction documentaries to watch.
After several grueling days of narrowing down the juror pool, I was selected as a juror.
Thankfully a Starbucks was close by so I could keep working on my personal mission to spread the word of Goldmoney during my lunch breaks.
Speaking of lunch, one of the bright spots of being on the jury was our amazing judge, who actually BAKED for us!
Several times!
The fine officers securing the courthouse got particular amusement out of the Goldmoney Gold card as it went through their X ray machine every day. The Goldmoney gold card can be seen here on vacation in Maui earlier this year here:

When jury duty finally ended, I got a huge payday for all the time and effort of getting up and driving to court each day!
What to do with this massive bounty?
The only logical thing would be to put it into the worlds oldest and best form of money... gold! Gold has ascended as money through every civilization because of its natural and physical properties.
Here’s is how I did it....
After depositing the check to my bank,
I transferred an equal amount from PayPal to my Goldmoney Holding. Then I used the proceeds to buy gold.
Selected a vault.
Confirmed.
The gold is now owned by me. This is not a cryptocurrency ( disclaimer: I have no problem with cryptocurrency : https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@goldmatters/when-everyone-makes-fun-of-you-for-being-a-bitcoin-for-halloween ) or “paper gold”, or an ETF. This is physical, allocated gold, silver, platinum or palladium bullion that I know own in these secure vaults. It is redeemable, insured, and audited.
After being fed by the judge, (who even taught us stretches during the breaks,) paid by the county, buying some gold....jury duty wasn’t so bad after all.
So next time you see a juror summons in the mail... think like this: 
There could be gold at the end!

Thank you for the kind words

What a great way to look at the glass half full! Resteemed to my 3700 prospective jurors. :-)
Thanks Paul! You are a great supporter
$36.12, that was an ounce of gold...back in 1972.
As soon as the trial started, I hope you stood up and yelled "Guilty! Now let's go home!"
Lol!! I might not get my $36.12 if i did that :)
Haha! I probably wouldn’t have got my $36.12 if i did that ...

That is Awsome im glad you got something out of it aswell i cant believe the judge baked you little cakes and treats! you should have got a photo of the card going through the xray machine that would have been cool, cheers bud :)

Sweet
IF YOU DON'T HOLD IT, YOU DON'T OWN IT!!!
That being said, having your own personal "Gold Backed" account would be a good thing, meaning you will benefit greatly in the much anticipated GOLD BULL run, if it happens in nearly any future economic scenario short of SHTF, TEOTWAWKI, or WROL. I need to look into this more, but first I need a new iPhone to run my cryptos and GoldMoney Accounts :D
Please pontificate on converting daily operating expenses and bill paying monie$ into GOLD for short term holdings, if you have time? I think the price of GOLD is relatively stable, but I do believe the markets are manipulated lower than they should be. Due to THIS:
I also believe the 2011 run up was normal market activity, until the manipulators regained control. Gold Price was screaming towards the true market values as seen in the graphic above! Silver also hit $50 in the overnight markets (Asia) earlier that year. Gold reached $1921 iirc...
Thanks for reading. :) yep its best to hold gold over long periods of time as savings and wealth preservation vehicle. Gold is not meant to earn you a ROI. For that you must take on risk and that can be done through equities. I would never try and trade physical gold. Thanks for checking out my blog! :)
Goldmoney stock listed on TSX is also an option ;>
YES IT IS!
I am sure you have a smile looking at the XAU stock price like I do?
Absolutely :):):)

Great post :)
Great comment:)
@goldmatters... Geez dude, you are like a saint. All you do is give last week silver coins this week your time, I am South African and luckily we don't have to do jury duty was this a compulsory gig? The Judge baked for you.. haha consolation prize nice one mate, naturally that $36 payday was the real kicker.. hehe.. Big up's and kudo's to you brother, you surely are a better man than I. Cheer$:)
Thank you so much for reading!! Yes jury duty is mandatory in the US. You would laugh at the lengths people go to to get out of it. People have all kinds of wild stories to avoid having to do it. I will say it can be quite disruptive to work, imagine having to be in court for unknown lengths of time and unable for the most part to access the internet. Some cases go on for months!
Amazing pictures
Thanks!
Wow is amazing while you are promoting Goldmoney are having a good life it talk fine about your project
Thank you for following along :)
Is buying something with your Goldmoney card a "taxable event" in the USA if the gold that you originally had bought had went up in value by the time you converted it back to fiat to load your Goldmoney card? Also, are the vault fees you pay deductible on your taxes to Uncle Sam at the end of the year? Also, if tax basis is an issue in the US, does Goldmoney help you keep track of it?

@tipU - send tips by writing tip! in the comment, get share of the profit :)Wow thanks!
I can't believe your judge made bread for the jurors multiple times. That sounds like the Twilight Zone to me based on where I live and my experience on jury duty.
Yeah it seemed pretty unusual to me also. I think the judge actually had sympathy for us as jurors for the huge disruptions of our lives. Go figure!
Wow, nice to see them put their ego aside. You could make a conspiracy theory contest on this alone haha.
Haha, everybody else gets birthday gold and you got juror gold.
That’s right :) love that birthday gold!
