What happened in 1971?
August 15, 1971: the dollar came off gold and the printing never stopped. But here's the part they leave out - what replaced gold wasn't paper. It was something better.
The Upgrade
In a single live television address, the last tie between the dollar and gold was cut. "Temporary," they called it. Fifty years later, the charts still haven't recovered.
But every broken standard gets replaced. Gold couldn't keep pace with a digital world - Bitcoin can. Wear the date that set the upgrade in motion.
They took the world off gold and called it progress. The standard has been upgraded - fixed supply, no printing press, no permission. Hard money, for good this time.
