This is a recurring post inspired by discussions had by @Undisciplined, @elvismercury and others regarding evergreen content on SN. I’ll dig back into the past to try to locate some great posts that might be worth another read. I plan to release a new Golden Oldies every Tuesday.

Here are this week’s selections:

I thought this was an appropriate time to feature a post about the US gold ban of the 1930s. I have seen a lot of talk about Executive Order 6102, and some disagreement as to how strictly it was enforced. With the recent discussions about government involvement with bitcoin and the importance of self custody, I thought that now would be a good time to look back at this period.

This is a superb post by @supertestnet. If you’re concerned about the privacy of your transactions, and you should be, you can learn a lot right here.
