I know this forum is dedicated to Bitcoin, however does anyone know if this new Bitgold can be held in on paper wallets in the same way that bitcoin can be held on paper for security. I called the Bitgold support and they had no idea what cold storage or paper wallets were to the digital currency world.

Bitcoins can be used for online transactions between individuals. It is a type of digital currency which is based on encryption techniques. This currency trading doesn’t depends upon any centralized authority.

  Bitcoin is a digital currency (also called crypto-currency) that is not backed by any country's central bank or government. Bitcoins can be traded for goods or services with vendors who accept Bitcoins as payment.The bitcoin network is designed to mathematically generate no more than 21 million Bitcoins and the network is set up to regulate itself to deal with inflation. Bitcoins can be spent by initiating a transfer request from a Bitcoin address in the customer's wallet to a Bitcoin address in the vendor's wallet.
 Bitcoins are created as a reward for payment processing work in which users offer their computing power to verify and record payments into a public ledger.

I don't want to tell you what is Bitcoin. Just I want to tell you it's so important how you gonna get familiar with bitcoin.
The whole concept is a bit complex at the begging but keep going and try to read websites like techcoins.net and article about it to get more familiar with topic.

Bitcoin works via something called the blockchain. Every time you do a transaction, it gets included in a block (which is all the recent transactions bundled together) and every 10 minutes or so, that new block gets accepted into the stack of blocks called the blockchain. So that's how it works every 10 minutes the whole network breathes, and updates network wide with the new block of transactions. Mining serves the purpose of verifiying these new blocks.

A type of digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank.
