From Gold to Bitcoin — The Evolution of Unconfiscatable Money

For thousands of years, humans searched for the perfect money.

We tried seashells, salt, silver, and finally gold. Gold stood out because it was scarce, durable, and trusted across civilizations. Empires rose and fell, but gold remained a universal store of value. It was money that you could hold in your hands, independent of any king or government.

But gold had a fatal weakness. It was heavy, hard to move, and—most dangerously—it could be confiscated.

In 1933, President Roosevelt forced Americans to surrender their gold. Families lined up at banks, handing over coins and bars that had been in their families for generations. In return, they received paper dollars. Weeks later, the government revalued gold higher, instantly stealing wealth from those who obeyed.

That day, people learned a bitter truth: if your money depends on permission, it is never truly yours.

Bitcoin rewrote the story.

For the first time, money became digital, portable, divisible, verifiable, and unconfiscatable. With a hardware wallet and your private keys, you can secure value that no army, no government, no law can take from you without your consent.

From gold to Bitcoin, the torch of freedom has been passed. One was locked in vaults, vulnerable to decree. The other lives in cyberspace, protected by math and consensus.

Bitcoin is the evolution of unconfiscatable money. And through The Game of Satoshi, you’ll walk this journey yourself—seeing why it matters now more than ever.
