Today is the 51st birthday of bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto.

Jinse Finance reported that April 5 marks the presumed 51st birthday of Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto. Although the identity of this most important anonymous figure in cryptocurrency history remains unknown, the code and ideas he left behind have profoundly changed the global financial order, even challenging central bank policies and the gold standard system. Satoshi Nakamoto’s date of birth, set as April 5, 1975 on the P2P Foundation in 2009, happens to be the anniversary of U.S. President Roosevelt issuing Executive Order 6102 in 1933, which banned private ownership of gold in order to stabilize the U.S. dollar. Many members of the crypto community believe this is Satoshi Nakamoto’s implied criticism of the government’s monopoly over currency issuance rights.
