Well, we ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜บ that today is Satoshiโ€™s birthday only because this is the date he gave for his birth when he created his profile on the P2P Foundation.

Is it ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ his birthday? Perhaps not, but the date does carry with it some fascinating significance.



If today is actually not his birthday, then Satoshi Nakamoto likely chose this date for a couple reasons. ๐Ÿฑ ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—น marks the anniversary of when the United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, in 1933, which prohibited the hoarding of gold by U.S. citizens.

This action essentially ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ gold from the general population, and centralized monetary control with the federal government. This event is symbolic of the kind of government overreach and control over money that #Bitcoin seeks to replace by ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜‡๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ-๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜†.

The ban on gold ownership was lifted on December 31, 1974, effectively allowing citizens to once again own and trade gold as of January 1, 1975. This moment symbolized a return to a ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ of financial freedom and control over one's assets.

Satoshi Nakamoto's choice of this particular date for his pseudonymous birthday, therefore, can be seen as a profound statement on ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜บ and ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜‰๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜บ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ.



If Satoshi was actually born that day, then ๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿต ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†. So let us all wish Satoshi a very happy birthday, wherever he is, whoever he is, and regardless of whether or not today is really his birthday.๐ŸŽ‚
