100 sats \ 3 replies \ @Signal312 5 Apr \ on: 6102 order gave people less than 30 days to surrender their gold bitcoin
I wrote a post a while back, on what "mainstream media" was saying about this order, back in 1933. Very interesting stuff.
Bottom line - mainstream media was entirely on board. Completely. Scarily. And it wasn't "people who owned gold". It was "hoarders".
Gold "hoarders" were persecuted in the 1930's, what will happen with bitcoin?
Great research: it does seem like the govt had trouble actually forcing anyone who refused to surrender gold.
Lesson1: @DarthCoin is right - do not comply.
Lesson2: they won't ask you for it if they don't know you have it.
Lesson3: it's easy to get the masses on the side of taking money from other people.
Missed this one. Thanks for putting the link here! Very curious to see what you found.
