For over two decades, he has orchestrated a silent dominion over global banking and trade. His empire, a labyrinthine network of assets and holdings, is a testament to his strategic genius. Yet, despite his immense power, he remains an elusive phantom. To this day, the public face of his operations has been a complex web, designed to obscure his true identity.

Digital Currency Advisor
Steve AKA “Goldback”

Emerging from the chaotic 90s as a titan of finance, Goldback was a market-making, patent-creating behemoth of unprecedented scale. His success was so great that it mysteriously and miraculously surged into an out of control astronomical force, eventually exploding and transforming him into a living, breathing currency. Literally a human gold coin! Transcending human status, he himself was quickly patented as “Goldback – the ultimate reserve currency.”
