The contents of a bank safe deposit boxes are not covered by insurance. Never store a passport or any document you might need to get a hold of in emergency in a bank safe deposit box. The government can simply close all banks as they did in 1933 in a "Banking Holiday". Law is malleable in the hands of any judge. He can seize the money or gold under the pretense of money laundering hiding it from the government. Under Civil Asset Forfeiture, they can assume the money is guilty of a crime being even tax evasion. It then is your burden to fight in court to get it back.

This article hits the nail on the head regarding why traditional safe deposit boxes are going by the wayside. As the desire to diversify both risk and wealth is greater today than ever before. The once symbol of financial adulthood, to quote the author, is now facing some serious retirement issues due to ever increasing overheads, lack of real privacy and legal obfuscation. The safe deposit box industry has failed to keep up with the demands of the cosmopolitan class, who were its traditional patrons. Pressuring them to retreat into the home safe solution. Although deceptively convenient, the home safe solution is not without its limitations. Home invasion and fire expose the contents to risks covered by most insurers for a mere replacement value of $2000. Vault@268 Orchard Road has identified the shortcomings of traditional safe deposit box solutions since 2009. We approached Ngee Ann Development to secure a joint venture to provide a centrally located off-site premise, secured by state of the art robotics & security systems. This configuration allows 24/7 access to an autonomous, non-bank, facility for a discerning clientele. The cost of goods will always face upward pressures, but a business can evolve to justify the increase by closing the value gap via innovation and optimization, and Vault @268 is such a service provider. continue reading >>

NEW YORK (InsideBitcoins) — Gold is considered one of the best ways of storing value. And for thousands of years, that has remained the case. At the Bloomberg bitcoin summit a few weeks ago, Barry Silbert suggested that the future of value storage was bitcoin. Whether that is the case or not, more than one-third of the total gold supply — trillions of dollars worth — is held in storage. But the problem is, gold as a currency is impractical — trying to buy groceries or paying rent with physical gold can be a bit of a challenge. With today’s announcement of Bitgold, Bitreserve has made it possible for users with physical gold to transact with bitcoin. continue reading >>
