#黄金 Gold surges to $4,500 per ounce. Don't just look at the new high, remember history.🧐


In 1933, the US government issued a statement:
👉 “Hand over your gold.”
Citizens were forcibly taken at $20.67 per ounce,
and then the official gold price was changed to $35.
Purchasing power was diluted, and the national treasury skyrocketed.
This was not regulation, but legitimate wealth redistribution.
Fast forward to today.
I watch BTC fluctuate around $87,000,
What truly unsettles me is not the price,
but—history is rhyming.
We once believed:

BTC = Sovereign-free gold

Decentralized, censorship-resistant, capped at 21 million

But now?
ETFs, custody, Wall Street, and compliance are fully involved.
More and more people's BTC:
👉 are not in private keys, but in Coinbase / ETF / custody accounts.
This is no different from 1933,
when gold was stored in bank vaults,
in essence.
The government doesn't even need to “confiscate.”
As long as:

KYC

Tax tracking

Compliance gateways
When 90% of circulation relies on centralized systems,
Bitcoin shifts from “anti-system” to “part of the system.”

So I remind myself of one thing:
👉 Don’t reenact 1933.
My BTC,
is only in my own cold wallet.
Because history has long proven—
true security is never in custody,
but in your sovereignty over assets.
There is only one question:
When that day truly comes,
will we use private keys,
to exchange for a “compliant but freedom-losing” digital prison?
