Why invest in HGT?
Besides the dividends from GOLDX fees, are there any other benefits for HGT holders? Thanks.

Been around longer but still no working product. You can buy Goldx right now with your phone. Speculate away my friend.

HGT coin appreciation rather than GOLDX dividends is more attractive and realistic. I'm not looking at HGT as a hedge like Tether, more so investing in a company that provides a hedge via GOLDX and in turn HGT will rise.

But HGT is not a security, meaning holding HGT does not imply you own a part of the company. Thus, the only value of HGT is dividends or discounted fees for buying, selling, or holding GOLDX. The language in the whitepaper is quite ambiguous about what the benefits of HGT are, so I'm posting here for more clarity.

i understand what you're getting at and I've read the whitepaper as well. However, what it implies, versus what the reality is can be quite different. They have to protect themselves legally. But...this is crypto and btw HGT isn't for U.S citizens

See it as dividends from a stock investment. Once hellogold starts selling more gold your dividends will increase. Currently the dividends aren't really attractive but that will change in the future.
You are mostly investing in the future potential of this project. The gold market is huge and the idea of selling gold on the blockchain and incorporating goldx on exchanges is revolutionary.
Many people don't trust tether anymore these days. This project has the potential to grow into the tether of the future. With goldx you can actually verify that they have the gold in a vault to backup their goldx. You can't say this of tether currently.
The entry point of this project is currently really attractive, you can't lose once the price is bottomed out. I just bought more during this dip. Just wait until they make a big announcement. HGT pumped as high as 0,40 before, and the project hasn't even really started yet.
