Jordan Eliseo - Perth Mint

"There's a tangibility and a weight and it's physically beautiful as well. That's attractive to people. Instinctively, all over the world people realize that gold is valuable."

Jordan Eliseo is the Manager - Listed Products and Investment Research at Gold Corporation - The Perth Mint.

Jordan & I spoke about:

• The demise of fiat currency - currency used to be backed by physical gold
• The link between government spending and the price of gold
• Whether bitcoin is the new digital gold
• How to buy gold - physical, ETF or gold mining companies
