It is noteworthy that important events in the history of gold took place on this day.
● On April 5, 1933, US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued Executive Order No. 6102, effectively confiscating gold bullion and coins from the public and organizations. This was an attempt to deal with the consequences of the Great Depression. All US citizens had to return coins, bullion, and gold certificates to federal reserve banks by May 1, 1933, at a price of $20.67 per ounce. This was followed in 1934 by the Gold Reserve Act, which initiated the confiscation of gold from banks. It was not until 1975 that Americans were officially given back the right to own gold.
— So, there is a high probability that this is not Satoshi Nakamoto’s real date of birth. This date was chosen as a symbolic reference to the purpose of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is often referred to as “digital gold,” comparing its role to that of regular gold.
