What's Gold?

Gold is a digital token that represents a form of value, similar to how a toy represents fun. It exists to make it easier to trade and use value online, like how a toy can be shared with friends. Gold solves the problem of needing a simple way to exchange value without using traditional money, making it easier to buy things or participate in digital activities.

How can I buy Gold?

1) Create an account on OKX by visiting the website and providing your email and a secure password. 2) Verify your identity with a government-issued ID to comply with U.S. regulations. 3) Fund your account using a bank transfer, credit card, or other local payment methods. 4) Navigate to the 'Buy Crypto' section, select Gold, and enter the amount you wish to purchase. 5) Confirm your order and complete the transaction.

Why do people buy Gold?

People buy Gold for its practical uses, such as making online transactions easier and faster. It can be used in various digital ecosystems, like games or apps, where traditional money might not work. Gold is also part of a growing digital economy, which means more places are starting to accept it. However, it's important to understand that its value can change, and it's not a guaranteed way to make money.

Things to know before buying Gold in the United States

In the United States, cryptocurrencies like Gold are legal but regulated. You must complete KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks when setting up an account. Cryptocurrencies are subject to taxes, such as capital gains tax, when you sell them for more than you paid. It's important to keep records of your transactions for tax purposes and understand that regulations can change.

What are other ways to own Gold?

You can obtain Gold without buying it by participating in airdrops, where tokens are distributed for free, or through Learn-and-Earn programs that reward you for learning about crypto. Staking or providing liquidity in certain networks can also earn you Gold as a reward. These methods require effort, such as learning new skills or locking up other tokens, and come with risks like losing your staked tokens.

How can I store my Gold?

To keep your Gold safe, you can use custodial storage, where OKX holds it for you, or non-custodial storage, where you control it. Hot wallets are online and convenient but less secure, while cold wallets are offline and more secure. Always back up your wallet and keep recovery phrases safe. Understanding these options helps you choose the best way to store your Gold securely.
