Well, the reason why I do not hold any gold is very easy.... "Executive Order 6102" --- Executive Order 6102 is a
United States presidential executive order signed on April 5, 1933, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt "forbidding the
Hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States". The effect of the order..
*Why would you want to hoard Gold if the government can simply issue a executive order to confiscate it?
The government can also issue an executive order to confiscate all Bitcoins, if they choose to do so.
Would you give your Bitcoins? Probably not. Would you give your gold? Only if you choose to do so.
Not everyone gave up their gold in 1933, even though owning gold was illegal.
