  1. John Titus. After reading your excellent article on the digital dollar, and listening to your ongoing discussion with Catherine Austin Fitts, I have the following question. In 1933 U.S. gold coins were confiscated by the U.S. government. There are gold dealers who sell pre 1933 coins, and assert that in 1974, when private ownership was again allowed that these coins cannot be confiscated. My concern if we go to a digital currency how will I sell my acquired gold coins? In a redenomination could they lose their status as legal currency? Sure I would have a valuable asset but how could I use it in everyday commerce. I understand Ms Fitts position that we need local currencies, but I am concerned that my gold coins would not be allowed as “Legal tender for all debts public and private”. Am I unnecessarily worried? Rafael

      1. Could this also come from concern over JPMC entering into a contract with the nickel company not to enforce margin calls a/g JPMC related to its short positions in nickel, as reported by the Martens in Wall Street on Parade?

    1. Helen, that article said: This statement represents the views of the Staff. It is not a rule, regulation, or statement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”). The Commission has neither approved nor disapproved its content. This statement, like all staff statements, has no legal force or effect: it does not alter or amend applicable law, and it creates no new or additional obligations for any person. It seems to me they want to scare us.
