The 5th Goldback State will be... South Dakota! (and other news)
South Dakota was chosen as the fifth State to have their own Goldback! It was initially announced in Rapid City, South Dakota at the Freedomfest convention being held there. Goldbacks can be purchased at Dakota Coin in Rapid City by locals. We don’t expect this Goldback series to be completed until the second half of 2022.
The effort of the Goldback team is going to be shifting towards signing up featured businesses in States with their own Goldback series. The hope is to eventually have several hundred businesses in each Goldback State. We are also trying to find more efficient ways to encourage people within the Goldback States to circulate the Goldback more often. It is likely that many of the next Goldback States will also be low population States, there are nearly a dozen projects at some stage of development.
Setting up the featured networks will slow down the rollouts of new States. It may be that we cap out at 1-2 new States per year. We are also going to try and sign up businesses in a new State before the Goldback even becomes available. This isn’t to say that the Goldback can’t be spent outside of the featured business network.
If you live in one of the Goldback States and you would like to help contact and sign up businesses there, then reach out to us at . . .
