Signatum, allows for transactions to be made anonymously using TorNodes.

There are no 'Whales', the ability to truly remain anonymous. True decentralization of government entities.

In addition, a short 100 day mining period, which prevents mining by ASIC chips.

These are what in my opinion, give this coin its backing.

I see where you are comming from, but in my question to you is what gives Gold its backing?

At the end of the day its all about how much do you think it is worth?

I cannot go to s tore and spend Gold, but I can use Signatum to purchase items on cryptopia.co.nz

In my opinion gold is just another metal and I see no point in investing in it.
