April 5 marks the presumed 51st birthday of Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin. Although the identity of this most significant anonymous figure in cryptocurrency history remains unclear, the code and ideas he left behind have profoundly changed the global financial order, even challenging central bank policies and the gold standard. Nakamoto’s birthday, set in 2009 at the P2P Foundation, is April 5, 1975, which coincidentally is the same day that U.S. President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 6102 in 1933, prohibiting private ownership of gold to stabilize the dollar. Many members of the crypto community view this as a critique of government monopoly on currency issuance.
