On April 5, 1933, Franklin Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States of America, signed Executive Order 6102, making it illegal for private individuals to own gold coins, bullion, or certificates anywhere in the country.

Of course, the Great Depression (stock market crash of 1929) is not our current reality. But could a government one day do the same with Bitcoin: banning private ownership outright?

The truth is, such an Orwellian measure wouldn't actually stop someone from truly owning BTC, because no law can prevent a person from memorizing a sequence of words.

Still, what if world leaders finally realized Bitcoin's potential to reshape the global order, even at the state level? Would it then be labeled "Public Enemy No. 1"?

We don't need to fall into conspiracy thinking. But there's nothing stopping us from anticipating, decentralizing, and educating, starting now.
