What happens to Manipulated Commodity Prices when BitShares and other crypto-markets open up? Will Silver and Gold, in particular, go up in price as the Crypto-Equity markets slowly gain traction and grow to encompass Wall Street in their Shadow?
The short answer is: The only way to find out is to run the experiment.
However, it is entirely possible that,
if some sellers of physical gold accepted 1 oz. BitGold in payment for XAU 1.00, the BitGold might continue to trade at a premium, because of it is easy to hide, transfer, and store, unlike physical bars of gold.
