April 5th, 1933 to Bitcoin: The Revolution That Started with “No”
Hey there,
Welcome to the April edition of All About Bitcoin!
Do you know what happened on April 5, 1933?
You probably already know if you’ve followed our celebrations earlier this month.
Every Bitcoiner should know. It’s the day the U.S. government attacked financial freedom with Executive Order 6102, banning private gold ownership.
April 5 is also Satoshi Nakamoto’s birthday.
To us, this date is a reminder: Own your money. Stay in control.
It’s also proof that we all have the power to say “No.”, just like Satoshi did.
Saying no to:
Giving up self-custody
Accepting the status quo
Trusting governments and banks to protect our assets
This month, we celebrate Satoshi’s legacy and the cypherpunk spirit within all of us. You always have a choice!
Bitcoin emerged from the turmoil of collapsing currencies and broken banking systems.
Trezor was born from the chaos of failing exchanges because trusting third parties with your bitcoin was never the answer.
“We wanted to make a couple of hardware wallets for our friends. But soon we realized that we had found a big market gap. Now we are one of the most trusted wallets in the world.”
— Marek “Slush” Palatinus, Co-Founder of Trezor
