My Job: Meeting the demand in Ireland for gold and silver bullion

Mark O'Byrne's background in gold goes back to his college days 
My Job: Meeting the demand in Ireland for gold and silver bullion

'People still see gold as a safe-haven asset in uncertain times, and it is interesting that Central Banks are now the largest buyers of physical gold.'

On a perusal of the Tara Coins website, this quote from Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve chairman for almost 20 years, stands out: “In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value.” 

Mark O’Byrne’s interest in the precious metal goes back to his college history degree, which spurred a lifelong interest in the monetary value of gold and silver, and their role in protecting from currency devaluations, economic collapse and wars. Much of his career so far has been around educating individuals on monetary systems and financial advice on wealth protection.
