Convert crypto to gold, instantly

So the recent crash earlier this week saw a flood of cryptos being exchanged for, wait for it, gold! Safe haven!
For this of you who missed it:

Now what if i told you that you could do it almost instantly on the same exchange you are trading cryptos? That would mean that the exchange would have to trade both cryptos and gold bullion. And that is exactly what Bitshares does. You can see a lot of BTS being converted to gold on the 16th here(check grey bar graph spike):

More than that, Bitshares offers fiat denominations too. Let me explain how it works. You can deposit Bitcoin or whatever your flavour is, directly to the exchange. Then you can start trading. You will notice such items as BitGold and BitUSD. These underlying items have a 1 to 1 in terms of value with the real world item. So 1 BitGold would be equivalent to ounce of real gold. And 1 BitUSD would be equivalent in value to 1 real USD.
You will also find such items as BitSilver, BitRuble, BitEUR and BitCNY too.

It makes sense to have the luxury of protecting your value so handy, by using a commodity or fiat currency to offset the variation. In fact it also makes it a good place to be doing day trading.

Please be aware that I am not giving out financial advice, but am merely airing my opinion in light of recent events.

Happy cryptoing! Cheers!
