Everything that is said here are all the things I've observed when I use either of
the two currencies for the past few weeks... OVERALL this is a compare and
comparison amongst the two Gaia Currency (Gold Vs. Platinum).
Take Note ::
→ My findings may or may not be accurate or occurring the same way as
other players (aside from me)... you have been warned.
→ Color font of this |||||||||||||||||||| = Good currency to use
→ Color font of this |||||||||||||||||||| = Bad currency to use
→ LASTLY, it is up to you to use whatever currency as you like. This is all just things
that I've observed / noticed AND my findings may or may not be accurate, just like
I've said earlier.

☞ Gaia Gold
Inventory Selling ::
→ Inventory sales always accurate (when using Gold Currency).
Marketplace (MP) ::
→ -5% Tax always accurate (when using Gold Currency).
Shops ::
→ Item's cost always accurate (when using Gold Currency).
Forum Posting & Search Engine ::
→ You earn less (when using Gold Currency). Each post gives you around 10k+
or so in Gold but when using Platinum Currency, you get 1 Plat. per post = 10M
when converted to Gold Currency and same goes with searching / reload Gaia tabs.
Lake Kindred (LK) ::
→ Payouts always accurate (when using Gold Currency).
zOMG! ::
→ You earn 9.9M less (when using Gold Currency).
Runway ::
→ You earn less (when using Gold Currency). Same explanation as Forum Posting
& Search Engine.
-----------------------------------V E R S E S
☞ Gaia Platinum
Inventory Selling ::
→ Items with selling costs that is lower than 10M (Gold) is sold as 1 Platinum but
doesn't always apply to all items. Sometimes when selling an item in the Inventory
with the cost that is lower than 10M (Gold) will come out as 0 Platinum (even if you
reloaded the tab, your Platinum count will stay the same).
Marketplace (MP) ::
→ -5% Tax isn't always accurate, meaning instead of having to pay 1 Platinum
(just an example) off the item you've sold, it can take away 2 Platinum instead.
Shops ::
→ Exchange rate not always accurate. Example: 1 Token = 1 Gold but when using
Platinum, 1 Token = 1 Platinum --Downside, with 1 Platinum you can buy 10M
Tokens if you use the Gold Currency.
Forum Posting & Search Engine ::
→ You get 1 Platinum per post and search / reload a tab which is equivalent to 10M
Gold. This is a good thing since you get to have more than the usual amount given
(when using Gold Currency you get around 10k of gold or so per post / search).
Lake Kindred (LK) ::
→ Payouts not always accurate. I've experienced not being able to get exactly 200
Platinum after leveling up my Shadow Grunny Kin because I automatically reloaded
my Gaia Homepage to check whether the payouts were accurate and it wasn't. Out
of 200 Platinum, I only got 50 Platinum. This happened three times in a row and is
still is continuing to happen whenever I use the Platinum Currency.
→ When killing Sycamorte / Phantom Sycamorte Trees the payouts are the following...:
---when using Platinum Currency...
------1 P (10M in Gold --when converted) -or-
------21 P (210M in Gold --when converted) -or-
------34 P (340M in Gold --when converted) -or-
------37 P (370M in Gold --when converted) -or-
------74 P (740M in Gold --when converted)
---when using Gold Currency... 100M in Gold / 1B in Gold / 2B in Gold
→ After few minutes of killing Sycamorte Trees, the payouts goes down to 1 Plat. per
kill which is sad and disappointing.
zOMG! ::
→ Payouts when using...
---Platinum Currency ... one kill = 1 Platinum (10M in Gold --when converted)
---Gold Currency... one kill = ranges 30k-50k or more (in Gold)
Runway ::
→ You earn more by using Platinum Currency.
---using Platinum Currency... 1 Vote = 1 Plat. (10M in Gold --when converted)
---using Gold Currency... 1 Vote = a few k (in Gold)
