Interesting to see this discovery today on Satoshi's birthday (April 5th, 1975). Also the 90th anniversary of Executive Order 6102.

Interesting, Executive Order 6102, forcing US and non-US citizens to sell gold at a fixed rate, in order to prevent gold hoarding so the US could meet it's obligations to back it's currency via gold.

Also interesting that it led to the sort of related Brenton Woods system, and all the effects of that and it's de facto ending in the 70s under Nixon

"Executive Order 6102", the infamous conversation between Darth Sidious and his Clone Commanders that started the systematic elimination of the Jedi. I remember like it was yesterday...
6102 reversed is also 2016 which is the number of Bitcoin blocks mined before a difficulty adjustment, interesting coincidence!
6102 can be summed to 90

6+1+2=(9)0.

Oh how strange the machine elves churn.

April 5th is also 9. (Month 4 day 5) and guess what…
