RE: How To Get Free Gold (And Maybe Also Steem Monsters Packs)
I checked out the website and agree quite amazing - however, this is how they still do things in a lot of Asia, I believe - like here in Thailand, you can go to the gold shop and pick from thousands of designs, everything is sold by the gram ... pure gold and you have it how you like the look or good luck charm of it I guess :)
Very happy to see a western-orientated company do the same, in Asia people still value Gold over Cash anytime, just look at what happens to some of their currencies. They know gold at home in the safe is the only 'safe' thing to do -- China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam all ... wealthy families will stack tons lol
lol yeah I especially noticed Vietnamese love their gold. When I come to Thailand, we should go to one of these stores!
It can also be arranged!

I like the Thai gold myself, i dont have as much as the picture above, haha. I never seen a gold bar when i was living there. Lots and lots of gold shops with walls of chains :)
Mene is a rip off compared to Asian gold, charging $75 for shipping on items worth a few hundred, lol. I'll stick to buying thai chains and rings.
I get you and kinda feel the same, however you don’t know with stuff like MENE, if they are popular these pieces will gain value as antiques also.

Thats right! Some of the original Mene designs are already retired and there is a chance they will become collectible items as Mene grows and becomes a household name. As for the shipping, there are abundant opportunities to offset the cost with the generous referral program as Steemians do all the time. Thank you for your interest @britcoins!
Love this comment! Yes the founders have said publicly that the inspiration for Mene was from the way the East sells jewelry by gram weight. They were inspired by trips to India and China specifically. Mene is unique in comparison to other western jewelry companies. Thanks for checking out Mene :)
that's great to hear from you - I did wonder and happy to hear they actually took the inspiration from Far East - even better!
