You missed the whole point.
Gold was criminalized because, much like today, the govt needed to greatly expand their monetary base but couldn't. So they invented a scheme and once they stole all the gold they then literally wrote down a $35 price for gold instead of the $20 they gave people paper money for and just like that, in one day they transferred 69% of the wealth from the people to themselves.
Gold was criminalized to steal nearly 70% of the wealth of the people and it worked cause of people like you - the masses are sheeple who say: that's not possible. And they don't get it until after the fact.
Nah, I didn't miss nothing.
Your math however leaves a lot to be desired. The Government replaced $20 gold coins with a paper currency worth $20. The Gold Reserve Act nationalize gold by ordering the federal reserve banks to turn in over to the US treasury in exchange for gold certificates. Since 'gold coins' were in actuality 90% gold and 10% copper the true price of an ounce of gold was $20.67 cents. the price of gold was then changed from $20.67 to $35, DEVALUING the US dollar by 40%. There's no 70% dude.
Again, I state... the US dollar used to be BACKED by Gold, and rather than leave the gold out in circulation it was rounded up and paper currency distributed.
The US dollar never has been and never will be backed by BTC, so your premise is therefore false.
Dude are you kidding me?
First I never said the dollar will be backed by another worthless fiat, that's absurd. I'm saying the dollar, Euro, Yen. Etc will be replaced by an alt coin like Bitcoin or Perhaps bitcoin itself.
And where do you get 40% from? This is effing 2nd grade math dude and you actually have the balls to sound sarcastic about my math leaving a lot to be desired? Lol.
You don't even need a calculator to see how wrong you are. What's 40% of $20? Easy, right, about $8 and change. What's $8 plus $20? It's less than $35, right?
What's 100% of $20 or a double? Oh, $40, right?
So without ever doing any real complex calculations like multiplication and division we know your 40% is close to $28 and a double or 100% of $20 is $40 so if gold went to $35 (from $20) then obviously the amount the government stole was much higher than 40%.
And why is the second part equally complicated? If I come in your house and take 1,000 Bitcoins worth $100 a piece and give you paper worth $100. And then in a few months I inflate or devalue that asset by 70% or even 40% without your consent or knowledge, but your paper cannot change with the new price hence all of your savings is now worth 70% (or 40%) less (overnight) then how is that normal in any way or not stealing?
Dude, Russia, Romania, Germany and many other countries did the same exact thing only they announced a new currency overnight which had the same theft and devaluation effect.
So even if it were 40%, it doesn't shock you one bit that the government cleverly literally stole (via intentional devaluation) nearly half of the life savings of all Americans?
You make it sound like it's somehow normal just cause we were on the gold standard. Criminalizing gold and then intentionally devaluing it by a massive amount was not part of any plan which anyone was aware of.
And this bitcoin, alt coin currency craze smells a lot like the same plan only they can steal out life savings without ever leaving Washington, from the comfort of their laptops. It's gonna be a cake walk compared to the gold theft of 1934.
Americans really know almost nothing of their own history. No wonder you're in for the massive hopeless change (you voted for) coming your way very soon. You guys have no idea what's coming, do you?
