This might be the wildest minimum wage statistic I've ever seen.

In 1971, the federal minimum wage was $1.60 per hour. Gold averaged $40.92 per ounce.

It took 26 hours of minimum-wage labor to earn an ounce of gold.

In 2025, the federal minimum wage was $7.25. Gold averaged $3,432 per ounce.

It took 473 hours of labor to earn that same ounce.

Your hourly wage increased 4.5× in dollars.

The amount of labor required to acquire gold increased 18.5×.

Measured in gold, the federal minimum wage lost approximately 95% of its value.

Fifty-four years of nominal wage increases, and one hour of work buys a fraction of the monetary asset it once did.

@BTC_for_Freedom That’s wired, I learned about the fractional reserve during my bachelor program in economics at City University of New York. They had in depth knowledge about every way of money creation by the banking system. Our professor chose Harvard’s book for the course.

- 1913: "The income tax will only hit the top 1%."

- 1935: "Social security numbers will never be used for identification."

- 1971: "The gold suspension is temporary."

- 2001: "These surveillance powers are only for terrorists."

- 2020: "Two weeks to slow the spread."

- 2026: "CBDCs will never be used to control spending."

- You: "I'm noticing a pattern."

- Government: "There's no pattern."

- You: "That's what the pattern would say."

Want a bullish Bitcoin chart?

We're now 210 days off the Bitcoin/Gold ratio bottom (Mar 1, 2026).

I went back to every prior cycle BTC/Gold low and checked what BTC did from this exact spot 👇

Median BTC return from day 210:

3M: +1%
6M: +43%
9M: +71%
12M: +120%
18M: +275%
24M: +390%

3 for 3 cycles were up big over 18 and 24 months:

2015 → +1,347%
2019 → +390%
2022 → +290%

The catch: the first few months are usually flat, and 2019 was DOWN 30% before it went parabolic.

Boring now. Violent later.

Median path from here: ~$187K in 12 months, ~$416K in 24.

n=3, not financial advice, but history's been loud:

@TheBTCTherapist I had the exact same seizure of funds by Citibank. During 2019 my 100% legitimate business received funding from the SBA. One week later, the bank unilaterally froze the funds and never gave them back. They never returned it to the SBA, never told me what is wrong, just seized.

@HodlMagoo @saylor I trust @saylor but I believe reserves would eliminate doubt and be a net positive

It just became as clear as they. Powell never tempered the inflation and everybody in high offices understand that inflation will come back even stronger, they just need to justify what would have happened anyway.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

It's official:

The world is now experiencing its biggest energy crisis in history, with 600 MILLION barrels of lost oil supply.

US gas prices are up +47% since December and inflation is nearing 4% in a similar path to the 1970s.

What happens next? Let us explain.
