Gold as physical money has withstood the test of time, but does it have a future in an increasingly digital world?

Kenneth Lewis, CEO of OneGold and ApMex, one of the world’s leading online dealers of precious metals, has no doubt. Websites and apps are making it easier than ever to hold gold. He even foresees the end of credit cards as we know them.

Soon there will be debit cards and other financial products allowing owners of gold to use it in transactions. (Pexels)
