1964: THE YEAR FIAT STOOD FOR NOTHING—AND THE WORLD FELL FOR EVERYTHING
While Malcolm X fought political slavery, the U.S. government quietly cemented financial slavery the same year.
THE 1964 DOUBLE-CROSS
April 3, 1964:
Malcolm X delivers "The Ballot or the Bullet" speech:
"You can’t negotiate freedom. You have to demand it."
July 1964:
U.S. Mint stops striking 90% silver coins (last real constitutional money).
Replaces them with copper-nickel slugs (first full fiat coinage).
The Hidden War:
Political emancipation movements rose… while monetary enslavement went critical.
The state traded fake racial progress for real economic chains.
WHY IT MATTERS TODAY
Same Playbook:
"Diversity hires" at banks… that still steal via inflation.
"BLM" logos on Fed buildings… that foreclose on Black homes.
Bitcoin Fixes This:
No need to beg the system for justice when you own the ledger.
#1964WasTheWarning ⚡
P.S. When they say "But civil rights improved!", ask:
"Then why does the Fed still redline Black neighborhoods?"
The fight never ended—it just moved to the blockchain. 🏴☠️
